Subject: Intake valve – Technical update
Campaign Code: PG2ZZQ2103_KIT_PGA

Dear Dealer / Service Center,
As part of the ongoing, stringent quality control activities of the components installed on our
vehicles, the continuous search for new and better technical solutions and attention to
customers, we hereby announce that an intervention relating to the replacement of the intake
valves, on a specific lot of vehicles of the model in question, must be carried out.
If, on the other hand, the valve stem is damaged, the entire head will need to be replaced.

Please determine which vehicles in your stock or sold by you require this update, and:


Update all vehicles in stock before sale.



update vehicles that have already been sold at the first available opportunity.

This issue will be managed as usual via a dedicated section of the PWM warranty management
software system.
The list of frame numbers involved in this update is viewable in the Campaigns / Campaign
Reports section of the PWM system.
You are kindly requested to identify the vehicles in your stock that require the aforementioned
update, and implement it BEFORE they are sold to the end customer, or, if the vehicles are
already in circulation, at the first available opportunity.

PROCEDURE FOR MANAGING CAMPAIGN PER HEAD


Disassemble the head, release the intake valve and remove it from the head.



Check for any signs of incipient seizure and adhesion by moving the valve without load
inside the respective valve guide (see photos below).



Only in the event that there are possible signs on the stem and/or traces of incipient
seizure, replace the entire head in question.



If, on the other hand, none of the above aspects have occurred, replace the intake
valve only, without replacing the head.

Note: In the event that other components of the engine, which is part of the lot in question, are
damaged, contact your Technical Representative to define the actions.

For any other information or general operating details, as well as for the tightening torques of
the individual spare parts, refer to the workshop manual:
Moto Guzzi Engine V85 E4-E5 (2019-).

PHOTOS RELATIVE TO THE VALVE SEIZURE
By way of example, some photos are shown below in order to unequivocally identify possible
incipient seizure of the valve stem in its seat, first and second photos, while in the third photo
the adhesion, without load, of the valve stem in its seat is appreciable.
