Thank you for the reply, but the ducatitech article is for a newer 2 valve motor, which has a rocker arm that can be moved for access to the valve shims, and is retained by a clip. The Paso motor has a rocker arm that requires the rocker-arm shaft to be removed to gain access to the valve shims.

All of the technical articles that I could find are for the newer motor. Maybe I can exchange the cylinder heads for those from a newer motor!

Have you solved your problem yet, jfiore?

You shouldn't need any special tools. I don't have the rocker clip in my bike either, and I did the valves just after I got my bike. I used a screw to pull the shaft out, and it went back in quite easily.

It's important to do the job with the motor dead cold - like after sitting overnight - any warmth in the motor will give you false readings for the clearances.
