My old 98, 30,000 mile 916 used abused track dayed etc was serviced earlier this year, asked mike(the mechanic who has looked after it since new) to pull the cams and check the rockers. All the rockers and camshafts were ok, annettes 2000 sps had a complete engine rebuild in 2001 inc new front head and overhaul rear head, when it was serviced in april this year it needed 3 rockers in the rear head. I wonder if the the different cam profiles contribute to the problem as the the bikes are both used regulaly and warmed before riding.
Ducati were not forthcoming when asked about a warranty claim
