Tappet Clearance Checking; Timing Belts (Daytona Rs And V10 Centauro); Adjusting The Headlight Beam - MOTO GUZZI Daytona RS Workshop Manual

5.8 TAPPET CLEARANCE CHECKING (Fig. 05-14)
After the first 500÷1500 km, and then every 5000 km or when the valves are very noisy, check the clearance
between the valves and the rockers.
This check is done on a cold engine, with the piston at top dead center «T.D.C.» at the end of the compression
stroke (valves fully closed).
Remove the rocker cover and proceed as follows:
1 Loosen nut «A».
2 adjust screw «B» to set the following clearances, using a feeler gauge:
■ intake valve 0.10 mm;
■ exhaust valve 0.15 mm.
Use a suitable feeler gauge «C» to measure the clearance.
Note that excessive clearance causes noise, whereas with insufficient clearance the valves do not close fully,
causing:
■ compression loss;
■ engine overheating;
■ valve burning, etc.

5.8.1 TIMING BELTS (DAYTONA RS AND V10 CENTAURO)

Every 30,000 km replace the distribution timing belts.

5.9 ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT BEAM (Fig. 05-15)
The headlight beam should always be kept adjusted to the correct height to ensure good visibility and to avoid
dazzling oncoming traffic. For vertical adjustment, turn screw «A», and move the light up or down as required.
In the V10 CENTAURO model, the vertical orientation can be obtained by loosening the two screws «C» which
fasten the headlight and manually moving it upward or downward until the required height is reached.
