Looking for the shim spreadsheet

[Sarcvicious]

Does anyone have the link to Steve's infamous spreadsheet that helps calculate the correct shim size you need? I can't find it through the search function.

Side note- anyone know what the stock shim sizes were that came with the 82 GS 650 G? We're stock sizes a thing back then? I'm guessing this is the first time the shims have ever been adjusted on the bike since we picked it up bone stock, and it hadn't been run since the early 90s. All my clearances are either at the minimum clearance or below the minimum clearance so I need to loosen these up. The math is confusing me though.

I have a copy of the spreadsheet. I tried to upload it, but the forum software doesn't allow that type of file upload. If you message me your e-mail address, I'll send it to you.

Measure clearance of each valve, and take notes of the clearance. If there is no clearance, then the shim on that valve will need to move down 1 or 2 sizes. Sometimes you can move shims around so you don't need so many. When ordering shims it's smart to plan ahead, for when you will need shims in the future. And don't be afraid to move the shim range above the factory spec. Kawasaki engines use clearances up to .15mm, so Suzuki's recommendation of .8mm is clearly on the low side and leads to more fussing than necessary.

There is no real "link" to it, but you can send an e-mail requesting it, as suggested in his signature.
Send the request to woodin dot s at gmail dot com.
