My 2002 RS had the old style connectors as well....

well past 2000 had a recall on those. My 00 RS certainly did.

The person who told your mate that did not come to the Great Fountain
of 
Sprint Knowledge. You did. The only camshaft problem that I've heard 
about was on the TT. Never on any of the 955 engines.

Other things to watch for:
The fuel sender. If the gauge says empty when the tank is full it needs

to be replaced. That was a recall. The second issue senders would leak

due to a faulty sealant. The third....Well, the third time is a charm.

No fuel connector problems as the 99 and 00 Sprints had better
connectors.

Other recalls:
Crankcase bolts and center stand. For more info go to:

I seem to recollect an alternator problem but that may have only been
on 
the 855 bikes.
