Hello,
this is the first time that i have written on this forum, and , to be quite honest, i am a computer moron!
So, here goes, As a South African, i am not very bright, but, i need someone to explain to me , slowly and loudly , so that i can understand!
I am the proud owner of a late 2011 Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX, the only one in the country,which cost me 3 times what i paid for my average size house [O.K. i bought the house 22 years ago, but still!]
I have been reading about cam/follower problems, Another problem is that there are no Guzzi agents in S.A.
I am trying to establish whether she has standard cam followers or roller type cam followers
I took the tappet [valve] cover off in the hopes of being able to see whether they were standard or roller but could not, without removing the cam box
the workshop manual seems to show standard cam followers but the parts manual [2011=2012] shows roller type cam followers
So what Is it?,can anybody advise me
Also, can i expect camshaft/follower problems from my, well maintained and gently ridden pride and joy?
thanks ,in anticipation
Charlie
