Is this common on this bike?

Mains are pretty tuff, but.. if its a 98 or 99 model 996 then there were some issues with flywheels coming off or loose, that kills the mains.

its the only time i remember seeing them knackered. there was a recall for the flywheel to be re-torqued but lots 'slipped through'

either way got to be worth splitting the cases and putting new mains and shells in.
