Today I was at the bike shop. A 999 was in for rough running. The guy had asked his mate to fit some u-bewt cams for him, and he did. He didn't bother to re-do the shims. As a result the cam lobes had 5mm flats ground into the tops of the lobes. Rockers were destroyed, metal all through the engine. One 999 totaled! Sad.
