try this which is lifted from the moto-one website in australia - tones of great info - the table of valve specs has not come up right but if you do a search you will find it.

“REVISED” refers to the revised cam timing specs for 749S ’04 models as detailed in service information re: stalling at idle. Simply changing the centreline settings for the cams to reduce overlap. It amazes me that such a small change in timing can have such a pronounced effect on how the bikes idle (probably part of the reason why my 851 idles so badly).
These ’04 749S cams are the longest duration of any of the Testastretta cams.
998 refers to base model 998 and 999. Not the ’05 999 though afaik.
‘998S’ refers to the Euro spec 998S. The USA spec 998S has the base model 998 engine. These cams are also fitted to the 996R, 998R, 999S (both Euro and USA) and the ’03 999R. Not sure about the ’05 999R yet. The ’05 999 has these cams I believe.
The 749 and 749S share the same valve spacing, which is different to the 998/999 valve spacing. I believe the ’05 999R may also have unique valve spacing, as does the 749R. Therefore the cams do not swap.
