I have a 2017 V7 iii and while doing the clave clearances, I try to hold the adjustment screw in place while I tighten back up the locking nut around it. However I can never seem to keep the adjustment screw exactly in place and it ends up tightening just enough where I have to do it all over again. Any tips for keeping that damn thing in place?

Valve Adjustment Lock Nut Tightening tips
- Thread starter Keegs
- Start date
Wind the adjustment screw back an1/8th of a turn, then as you tighten the lock nut it will drag the adjust screw around with it and hopefully be at the correct clearance. 1/8th is a ball park figure for you to play around with. The lock nut doesn't have to be super tight, just nipped up and then a bit. People have snapped the adjuster or stripped the threads by being over zealous.
Yes, just like Kevin says, start back a hair so when it all moves you are in the right spot. You have some that are fussy out there, in all the models. It just takes time.

just did mine a few days ago. get the right size screw driver for the slot and hold on tight. don't over tighten the nut!

Just got it firing!
On the Moto Guzzi V7III Basic Service Tutorial Youtube vid by GT Motorcycles, there is mention of a "fancy tool" that Guzzi makes for this job. I've looked for this tool but haven't been able to track it down - might help make things easier for you if you can find one.

I had a tool years ago for OHV engines to adjust the tappets, It was called a "SPQR tappet adjuster". I have just done a search on line and similar tools are available, its a socket and screwdriver in one tool, could that be "The Fancy Tool"
