To swing
To adjust
Adjust valves clearances. Position the last cylinder in
swinging and adjust the valves of the first cylinder. A
cylinder is swinging when, turning the crankshaft, the
intake and exhaust push rods move simultaneously.
To adjust valves clearance, use a shim with the
specified measure between the rocker arm and the
valve. The clearance is correct when the shim slightly
drags between valve and rocker arm.
Screw the adjustment screw to reach the specified
clearance. Tighten the lock nut with the specified
torque.
Cold clearance (Intake and Exhaust) = 0.40 mm.
