welcome, I guess one of the first things you`ll want is:

I have one of those. It`s currently being powder coated. I`ll make a drawing when I get it back as I figure it`s not hard to make one yourself.
Good luck with your rebuild. Upcoming frustration will be gone the first time you hear the bike and when you ride it :thumbup:

PS: to post pics upload them on ie photobucket.com (you need to register but it`s for free), then when posting in the forum copy the direct link of the picture into your post after you clicked on "Img" which you`l find above your editing window. So then it is [img]direct-link-to-jpg[/img]

Devo87,

When did you buy the Paso; it's just I remember seeing a white one advertised on TradeMe last year, that was from Christchurch, that looked like it needed a bit of help?
Lots of assistance from this site, hope we can help.

Fraser.

Ouch, the broken engine case is really a bad deal. It could require a complete tear down to make a repair or replace. I had the output bearing fail and chew up the case. I bought a new bottom end instead of tearing it down.

We're here to help!
