Rocker information
All,
For those of you worrying about rockers, try having a look at the Sigma Performance website. They have a lot of experience with Ducs and have some interesting theories about why it happens. Upshot is that you should always let your bike tickover (i.e. not rev it) for the first 90 seconds. This is due to oil starvation of the rear rocker arms (all drained back to the sump)
You will note that the rear rockers seem to be the ones that fail. Also more predominant on 748s than the bigger bore bikes.
Also spoke to local dealer who confirmed that it was not worth worrying unduly about.
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,
Simon
