This is interesting reading. It sounds much more likely that the engine oil feed leads to rocker wear rather than the claimed poor chrome plating of rockers by Ducati. Ok, it could be a combination of both but if you are Ducati official, what would you rather blame, the part or the design?

Personally I think Ducati have kept the rocker issues well under wraps and subsequently sorted the issues.

My bike needed one opening and one closing rocker this year. 4 years old 996S with 8000 miles. I do warm her up but she doesn't get used that often. First 2 years Tecmoto serviced and then last 2 years at ProTwins.
