[Ducati] 749's

[Alex Obst]

Thanks for the thread,
nice to know I'm not the only one that the TPS and throttle body sync went 
out on before the 1st service.
I traded in my 749 Dark for a 999 BIP (black of course)
This was after a warranty with my vertical cylinder head.  They replaced the 
entire head.  Root cause of the warranty was micro-finishing compund left in 
the oil passages in the cam, the compound got out and ate up (scoring) my 
cam journals, etc...
They caught it because my valves were out of spec (tight), i didn't know 
they checked the valves on the first service, lucky I guess that they 
screwed up and checked them!

I don't know if that was an isolated incident, as well as the oil leak I had 
from a side cover of that same head(lapped the cover and it was good) 
warranty as well

The 749 Dark has a different cam than the other 749's, but a cleanliness 
issue like that from manufacturing would affect any cam , I'm hoping it was 
isolated to that cam profile.
I'm also assuming that they do a 1 piece flow, and the bikes run through 
thier own lines....just guessing, never seen the plant in Italy

anyway, botom line is that I stayed in the family and absolutely LOVE my 
Ducati
just wanted to share my experience, don't get scared.....just get the one 
you like!!  and ride as much as you can :o)

FWIW there's a thread on stalling 999's here.
