I read that the valve clearance is supposed to be 0,10mm. I'm not exactly sure what that means? Am I supposed to use the 10mm for the intake and exhaust? Is there a tolerance or is it only 10mm?
Thanks for your help.

The clearance between the valve shafts the adjusting screws when the engine is cold should be .12mm.
Most use the 1/6th turn method as it is difficult to get a feeler gauge into such a tight area.
On TDC on the compression stroke tighten the adjuster screw until it lightly contacts the valve shaft, then back it off 1/6th of a turn. Tighten the counternuts to 11 Newton Meters torque. Done.

central europe writes stuff with a comma while just the UK (I thought!) use the 'sull stop' so for us 0.10mm but if english isn't your first language then it is 0,10mm.
I was 19 when i bought and raced my ducati pantah and all measurements were like that and i never, ever got used to it.
