Oh yes, I've known Tom Rolland for a decade or more. He used to be on my euro-moto list, but I think he is on the bevelheads list only now. I've been the admin/owner for the euro-moto list since about 1998. :-) > The Desmoquattro can be a little daunting to service but I rely on > 30+ years > of servicing the older Desmos.

Given that they really need so very little maintenance, it would make more sense to me to just pull the heads and check the clearances/condition of the split rings every 20K miles or so. Unless you're racing... I always did my own maintenance on all my motorcycles. Funny: the "oh so difficult" to maintain Ducati desmo valvegear was always the least amount of work to service...
