Hi all, never had any problems with my Paso. The bike has just over 6,000 Miles. Today i was trying to fire it up but no luck, the battery fully charge, all the lights ok, but no starter motor going. The only thing I can hear is a strange noise under the seat. Can it be the regulator-rectifier? all the wires attached to it are ok, I checked all the fuses and are ok, what else can be?  Thanks, Sal |

I think you have problems with the starter relay. It has one wire coming from the battery, and another going to the starter engine. Both wires are locked with a 10mm nuts. You can join both wires with a tool (I use a pliers, one leg touching one nut and the other leg touchin the other one) and the starter engine have to run. Doing it, you'll know you have a relay failure, because you made a bypass with the pliers and run. Be careful, you can produce little sparks when touching the nuts. I hope you understand me, I'm sorry, my english is very poor. Regards from Mallorca (Spain). |

Another possibility is that you have problems with the starter button.Try to turn the round button when pressing the starter button. Maybe the round button has a bad contact, maybe it is dirty. |

Hello, I checked and looks like is the starter solenoid. How can I find the DUcati part number for the 750 model? I know can use other solenoid from other model of Ducati, does this one sounds right? ... #39740011A Thanks again, Sal |

Maybe you can go to a big autospare parts with your solenoid and there try to buy one. I know a few parts of a Paso come from cars, Fiat, Lancia, etc. My Paso runs with a electric fuel pump from a Renault 5. |

Mounting issues aside , any 12 volt solenoid will do the job . Probly the cheapest new solenoid you could get would be off a ride- on lawn mower , or a small car ( auto parts store ). They are a bit like spark plugs , heaps of manufacturers and any one will do as long as its the ( close to ) same spec , in this case 12 v

Mctool is right on all counts but one A lawn mower solenoid is not going to be cheaper Haven't had to repair your lawn mower lately eh Hamish ? Just bought a carb solenoid for mine recently 125usd and I had to order it

I installed the one for the newer ducatis and I modified the wiring, with an additional relay for +12v and a bigger wire from battery to starter: you can find all suggestion you need on downloads and FAQ
