I'd be interested to hear responses to this. Of course, a professional who sees many bikes is in the best position to judge how commonplace it is. Obviously "it all depends", on pattern of use, frequency of oil change, whether the engine's been ranted from cold, etc etc. Also I'd be interesting now whether, as is claimed with the rectifiers, that "later is better". I seem to recall Shazaam posting that the rockers were re-designed in 2001? This may not even have been the first re-design for all I know. Anyone had the problem on a 999/749 yet? Or has better lubrication provision solved the problem on the testeretta engines? |
