I don't necessarily think so. It was just a question because many engineers can't leave well enough alone and feel the need to explore the cause of everything be it a problem or not.
Tell me please it is true information (gaps) for my M900? Look at the picture.

Nonetheless my end gaps of oil rings in the cylinders = 1,3 mm when max. allowed in the manual = 1 mm [bow_down]
Whether that's the huge issue you're making it out to be or not...

you don't know if the rings, the cylinder, or the guy that installed and set the end gap is the problem and you won't until you have all the parts measured with the correct tools.

One question. It is true information about valve gaps? It is all what i ask you now. Because in Internet I see different information about valve gaps ???

Those are the specs from Ducati for your year. Ducati relaxed the specs in later years to reduce the perceived cost of maintenance.

They run best with the intake openers set to .004, exhaust openers set to .005, and all closers set as close to .000 as possible without any drag.

Do what you will.
