Does anyone who has or has owned a paso 906 had problems with the bike loosing power ie electrical when revs are high though it starts to fire again when revs are low could be carbs but feels more like electrical.

Are you running it on 98 unleaded? If so, try it on 91. I know it sounds contrary, but that fixed my 906 issue.
My bike also had 38mm Mikunis fitted, replacing the standard Webers. This is not unusual.

The 906 - memory lane - what year was that?

Mine was an '89, but they came out before that. '86, maybe?
I bought mine as an ex-dem from a Ducati dealer in the UK. Had it for 2.5 years, before trading it in against another ex-dem, this time the 907ie. Completely different bike to ride.

Just flicked through the 214 Ducati's on turd me. I hadn't realised how many different engine sizes there have been. A swag around the 900+ mark. Were they all different motors or simply different bores/strokes within the same blocks?. The fully faired bikes look nice in red.

Check charging and that some knob hasn't replaced the coil wire with car stuff. Also air filter.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
I am therefore I do
Man...I remember when they first came out. They were just soooo cool.!!
At the time it was a toss up between the missus & a Paso...as I was an apprentice at the time.
I should've got the Paso
Would've cost a hell of a lot less.....

This would be tempting if I had the spare cash.
They were very strange handling bikes though. At least the one I rode was.

They are all descended from the Pantah 500, then you got the 750's, the 851 brought new crankcases and that's where the 900ss came from. The 851 had 4 valve heads and after that it was a pick and mix of those parts.
I remember seeing the Paso in Frazers Paramatta and not being able to see the motor. I had just bought a Darmah so was a few years behind the trends.... even more so now
I found the use of square framing odd for a Ducati as looked into using one for a track bike but they don't do naked very well.

The 906 was a little unusual, but as I came to it from a 1979 GS550 (albeit with RG500 forks, JMC arm, Yoshi 620 kit) I didn't really see the difference as a bad thing. Just different.
The 907ie was much better.
