Laverda 750 SF1 Oil Filter.

Clem I'm just saying that a squared off cam in an SF isn't necessarily (and probably isn't) the result of lots of city riding and idling. If the studs blocking oil ways to the head did happen to be a factor, the motor will still be awash with lovely clean oil but not enough of it will have been feeding the parts that need it more than any other: the cams and rockers.

As others have mentioned, I'd be suspecting poor substandard chroming or cam hardening as a likely cause. A few threads on Elettronica pistons with non-Elettronica heads. Plenty of other ways to raise the CR in an SF and run a 6C - but exhaust configuration is paramount to them actually working. 5C a much nicer road cam (again, not with std exhaust).
 
Leaving a 750 idling is however not a good idea.
500 and triples will accumulate oil in the recesses of the head which will leave the cams and buckets happy long enough for the lights to turn green.

Along the same lines I still have my old Dads pipe I bought him for his 65th birthday (40 years ago). Having never smoked in my life I plan to become a pipe smoker if I reach 80 (fat chance).
