valves on 03's

[Guest Bradley]

Does anyone know if the valves in the 03"s are any different/better than the 02"s? This hardness thing is a little scary,no?

I have no idea, although perhaps when I talk to Mike Rich again, I'll ask him if he's had a chance to inspect any '03 valves

 

 

I have however heard that on the '03 bikes with hydraulic lifters(cruisers, not the V11 Sport/LeMans AFAIK) that there have been some reliability issues with the cam itself.

 

That's the only '03 valve-train issue I've heard of so far.

thanks,I asked my local dealer [just became a Guzzi dealer] he said he wasn't aware of any problems ie bullitens from MG etc. So maybe it'snot that big of a deal. However, he did say," The newer, the better" .........duh!
