Valve and Shim Question

[Guest]

Howdy - I've had my GS750 less than a year and haven't really ridden it much. I've been trying to do all the things listed in the "newbie mistakes" thread and am currently adjusting the valves.
I have some gaps that are smaller than my smallest feeler gage (.03). The smallest shim I have is 2.6. If I understand the adjusting process correctly to get the gap in spec (.03 to .08) for an original gap of <.03 it seems I should get a 2.55 or 2.5 shim if the original was 2.6. I can't check to see what the gap would be with a thinner shim because I don't have one. Should I just assume the math I'm doing will work and get the shims the numbers tell me to?
Thanks for your help!

If the shims still rotate then there not that tight, so getting next size down should work. ATM you still in the middle range of shims. (2.15 the smallest) Personally i dont use shims that have been skimmed. i always use unblemished genuine Suzuki shims
