Mood: happy bike passed MOT
this was the only bad thing in my 3 years of 748 ownership the realisation that my bike may need rockers replacing , the hope that it may be ok and then the phone call from the dealer with the bad news.
and the thought that every time i started my bike or gave it the berries to the redline i was actually causing damage to the rockers.
this is the only thing stopping me getting another 4 valve ducati as there is no garauntee from ducati that the problem is sorted or that they will take responsibility and pay up for any replacements no matter if the bike has been serviced by a specialist or a main dealer

having said that i understand the the 2 valve motors don't suffer this problem so when i get my next duke (which i will) it will be a 2 valver
