V85TT Valve Adjustment Tool

thingiverse

This might be useful for setting valve clearance's on the Moto Guzzi V85TT or similar motors. Assumes an 11mm lock nut and the top bit adjuster that you might normally use pliers on to be about 3mm x 8mm. The "Adjust" part pops into the "Handle" for use. There is also an "Adjuster - Simple" that could be used in place of a pair of pliers, still using an 11mm spanner to tighten/loosen the lock nut - simply to avoid using pliers, and make adjustment a little easier. EDIT - VERSION 2 - Replaced the barbed interface with a threaded captive screw type interface - much better. So the knob part is now stronger and more reliable. - Lever is a little longer and kicks up at 5 degree. - Still untested on a real engine. This HAS NOT BEEN TESTED - my bike is not yet here. I'd love someone to check for me, otherwise I'll check later. This is here because of a discussion over on Adv Riders V85TT forums.
