Default Reliability of motor in a race bike
I'm racing an '03 Supersport (1000 DS). I've raced it for the past 2 seasons, neither of which was a full year.

I had heard from 1 person that the rods were only good for a season or 2 before they need to be replaced.

Does anyone know how reliable these motors are? In stock form it's making plenty of power, so I don't need or want to spend money on the motor. However, if the rods really need replacing, I'd rather do it pre-emptively than have them fail.
