I have it. I've had my bike since March of 04 and never had an oiling problem. My friend had an 05 and just had his motor rebuilt after his cranks bearings seized. He put in a WR kit with a 12.5:1 with some port work. Added new valves as well. After 3hrs on the motor his rod and wristpen snapped causing his rod to be a weapon against his cases. When I broke the motor down and inspected everything to determine what happened, his top end was completely dry. The pen seized to the rod and they both snapped. It could happen and it may not but that wasn't a price that I was willing to take. I sent mine in and had the oil mod done a couple weeks later ;)
