Moto Guzzi Manual Features & Content Preview
This factory workshop supplement, P/N 27 92 01 60, covers the 1970s–1980s Moto Guzzi V35 Imola II, V50 Monza II, and V65 Lario. It documents the changes for these four-valve models and accompanies base workshop manual 23 92 01 80, which is not included.
Text search and wiring detail: The PDF is partially searchable through an embedded OCR layer; recognition is uneven in tables and drawing labels. Numbered bookmarks link to individual pages. Small wiring labels require zooming, and some markings in the second-series diagram remain faint or unclear.
-
Engine maintenance: Valve-clearance adjustment, engine and gearbox oil changes, oil-filter cartridge replacement, and sump-screen cleaning, with periodic maintenance schedules and lubrication requirements.
-
Engine repair data: Piston-to-cylinder tolerances, connecting-rod dimensions, rocker and valve specifications, valve-spring load data, and crankshaft balancing information.
-
Fuel system: Model-specific Dell'Orto PHBH carburetor settings, plus air-filter and breather hose layouts that distinguish the Imola II from the Monza II and Lario.
-
Suspension and brakes: Front fork fluid replacement, rear spring adjustment, brake-control adjustments, disc inspection, wheel exploded views, and a front master-cylinder section view.
-
Drivetrain: Transmission gear ratios, final-drive assembly drawings, and first- and second-series drive-pinion dimensions for identifying the revised components.
-
Electrical system: Contact-breaker ignition and spark-plug specifications, switchgear conversion instructions, headlight alignment, bulb replacement, and wiring diagrams for both control configurations.
This supplement is suited to mechanics familiar with clearance measurements and electrical diagrams, with the base manual available for the underlying repair procedures.
Four-Valve Engine and Maintenance Data
The engine section combines dimensional drawings with the “Cylinder head and cylinder” and “Camshaft and valves” exploded views. Piston and cylinder tables distinguish A, B, and C selection grades, while connecting-rod, rocker, and valve data support component inspection.
V65 Lario valve-spring seats: Engines 000524–000685 use 1.7 mm lower seats, part 27 03 70 82, instead of the standard 1 mm seats, part 27 03 70 81. The manual specifies retaining the thickness originally fitted to the head. This distinction helps identify the correct replacement before cylinder-head repair.
The valve-clearance section explains that insufficient clearance can prevent valves from seating, causing overheating and burned valves.
Engine lubrication coverage includes the Agip Sint 2000 oil specification and filter servicing. Fluid tables and the maintenance chart also cover the gearbox, rear drive, forks, and brakes.
Carburetor and Ignition Settings
The carburetor tables identify PHBH 28 BD/BS units for the Imola II and PHBH 30 BD/BS units for the Monza II and Lario. Jet, needle, float, and mixture-setting data are paired with the “Air filter and breather assembly with hoses” drawing.
Ignition tables distinguish the models' fixed, automatic, and total advance settings. These are specification references; the supplement does not contain complete carburetor synchronization or ignition-timing adjustment procedures.
Final Drive, Suspension, and Brakes
First- and second-series drive-pinion section drawings show the changed bearing-seat dimensions for final-drive repair. Gearbox coverage consists of lubrication instructions and ratios, rather than a complete internal overhaul procedure.
The fork section gives a fluid-change procedure for the air-assisted front suspension. Rear suspension material covers spring adjustment, charging pressure, and component dimensions.
Brake-disc inspection includes runout checks and mounting-bolt torque specifications. Excessive runout is linked to checks of disc mounting and wheel-bearing play. The right-front brake illustrations show the assembly layout and a master-cylinder section, without a full written rebuild procedure.
For brake-system work, consult a certified technician if you are unsure of the procedure.
Switchgear Changes and Wiring Diagrams
Instrument-panel and control illustrations identify switches and warning lights. The V65 Lario conversion instructions explain the paired replacement of first-series handlebar controls, with connector positions and wire-color changes for the later units.
Separate first- and second-series wiring diagrams include component legends and fuse assignments for tracing lighting, starting, ignition, and charging circuits. Headlight aiming and bulb replacement are covered separately.
Italian PDF and Included Pages
Supplied as one printable, 34-page PDF in Italian: 29 technical pages (printed pages 155–183), one cover, one model-photo page, a one-page four-valve introduction, and two contents pages. All five preliminary pages are included in the 34-page total.
