There's a 998 up here that I'm looking at...
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

No real link to it.  It's owned by a guy I met through work, and not really advertised.  Part of me really wants it, as it is the Tamburini classic and has the testastreta motor (i.e. not plagued by the flaky rocker nonsense of the 996), but I'm really not sure if I want another bike with 6000 mile service intervals.

Replace the collets with MBP type, use modern belts, swap the head studs with Nichols type. Voila, 12000 mile intervals.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Not that difficult really.  Just swap the collets at the next interval and you're good.

Have you done that, personally?  I have.

Apart from that, moving from a 6,000 mile interval to a 7,500 mile interval was a marketing move and has nothing to do with the tech side.

Yes I have.  I found that the gap was held more consistently, no exception.  The longest I saw one between valve service was 10k miles and it was spot on.  Some expansion from the openers, but not much.  Not enough to fix.  Best $300 mod ever.

And yes, the 6000 to 7500 interval is partly marketing (and partly the newer belts' life).  However, that does not take include MBP collets, which easily can extend that period.

Which bike did you install the MBP collets on?  I think this works better & easier on some more than others.

I've done it on several, including friend's bikes.  Pantah 650, Monster 800, and a 996.  The 996 is the only one that isn't mine.

Without going into a lot of detail, and some potentially rancorous discussion ( not necessarily between you & I ), suffice it to say that the MBP collets may not be needed on the newer testastretta engines. At least according to my experience. Others mileage may differ.

Anyhow, the service interval should not be an overriding concern for DRKWNG.
