I would say - BE VERY CAREFUL - somewhere in this forum is a quote about big ends going soon after a binning of the bike.

Most bikes with 20,000 will have been on their side at least once in their life - running or not!

This makes perfect sense as when a 748/916/996 is dropped (or wheelied) oil starvation occurs - someone said that big end failiure is quite common soon after a binning!

I would be very careful - gearbox, cams, big ends all VERY FRAGILE - especially when starved of oil and VERY VERY VERY EXPENSIVE to fix!

IMHO!!!

Happend to my old bike - albeit after another 6,000 miles.
