Guzzi 4 valve head

Today I took the day off to relax a little and recuperate from my motorcycle ride to Ohio/Pennsylvania.

This morning I spent a little time in the garage checking/adjusting the valve on the Guzzi. Here are a couple pics of the new 4-valve head, as opposed to the old 2 valve head on the Breva. Note there are two intake and two exhaust valves. Checking and adjusting is the same as on all Guzzi's for the past 4 decades, a simple screw and locknut system that even a monkey can do in their own garage at home.

One of the many things I love about these bikes...I can do all my own normal maintenance, saving big $$$ it would cost at a shop.
