When I had a 748sps with 50mm headers & terms, trick parts and chip I was also running the Big bore kit. The kit was great, faster than a 996 down the straight at donnington - fantastic.... BUT after 5K miles one of the pistons broke up and the other one was showing signs of cracking (I do have a picture if interested). I had to have a full engine rebuild. The only thing I would suggest is get the pistons / engine checked out at intervals. I've been told by a few Ducati mechanics that this failure on the early kits is not that uncommon. Would I do it again.. HO YES!! |
