| Weve been over this a number of time and its one of my big moan points about Ducatis!!
All the four valves bikes have the problem. Its not only the 748. My ST4 (916) has had three rockers.
Checking the rockers isn't part of the official Ducati service schedule so a "full dealer service history" could mean that they havent been checked since the bike left the factory. Some main dealers still won't admit that there is a problem.
Spot on valve clearances, good oil, warming the engine before thrashing it etc appear to help.
If my bike needs any this time then its getting put back together as it is and part exchanged at the nearest dealer! |
