    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I am looking for 260X fat shims
I have (2) extra 260 shims, but need (3) 260X shims.
 
yeah nert, its hard to find those suckers.....

i needed them too, and couldn't get them.....

somehow managed to finagle my valve clearance by switching shims that were "supposed" to be the same size.

took me 3 hours, and made my wish I had $$$ for a micrometer.


good luck man
 
Hi

Why do you heed the x-chims ????
The Suzuki don`t..
 
As far as I can tell, the "x" shims were only installed at the factory.

In any case, they aren't needed. The acceptable range of adjustment is .05mm (.03 to .08mm), so you can always get the clearance in the correct range with shims in .05 increments.

That said, you always hate to leave it right at .03mm. And who the heck's got a .03mm feeler blade, anyway?

FWIW, I've found that the aftermarket shims from CRC2 usually measure a bit fatter than the size stamped on them by .01 or .02mm. So I would order one of their 2.60 shims and try that. YMMV, of course.

You're also safe leaving it a teeny bit loose with a 2.60 shim.
