• Ciao Guest, The owner of this website and GTMotoCycles.com lost his home completely on the morning of January 8th in the L.A. Wildfire Storm. Most of his neighborhood is gone, and a few friends were killed along with their pets. The GTM SHOP and STORE are functioning normally, but we DEMAND EXTREME PATIENCE on orders as we are a SMALL business and Todd usually has his hands on nearly every order before it goes out. You can find more info on a post named L.A. Wildfires in the USA section. Our heart and best go out to everyone in this horrific disaster.

In time, I may do a how-to with photos here, but for now I wanted to quickly note the valve lash spec range below, and note that the very first V100 we've had in for service @ 890 miles, had two (2) valves that were tighter than the spec'ed range. We check them in my shop every time. Doubt many dealers do. Don't pretend. Downside is how complex of a job it now is (FFS Piaggio).

Intake valve clearance: 0.10 - 0.15 mm (0.004 - 0.006 in)
Exhaust valve clearance: 0.30 - 0.35 mm (0.011 - 0.014 in)
 
I've seen a few, mine included, where intake valves tends to be tight and exhuast valves are on loose side. Have you noticed the same. I'm curious if this is by design, because to my understanding intake tends to loosen over time where exhuast tends to tighten?
