I ran my 95 M900 for about 2500 track miles and it spun a rod bearing on the H cylinder in July. I'm pretty sure the combo of extended high rpm while holding off upshifts and the occasional lugging through hairpins to avoid an extra downshift helped kill it.
I spoke with Ben Fox at Fox Performance recently about reworking the damaged crank, and we discussed stock Ducati rods vs Carillo. His recommendation was go with Carillo and eliminate a weak link in the motor.
I'm seriously considering a set of Carillo rods for the motor that ends up in the track bike over the winter. Anyone need a kidney?
