Tis true, but I don't think they run the road bikes anywhere near as hard etc on the dyno as they might a race bike. Saying that though the small rebuild on a 998RS02 (500 Miles) is something like valves, collets, valve seals, and a few other bits, then the big service (1000 mile increments) is all of the top end as above and bottom end also.... I don't know if pistons/rings come into this.

Where's Nelly, Skids, Shazaam etc?
