Have you read the instructions?

In a nutshell:
1. measure the clearances, RECORD THEM. Note: they are only valid if the cams are in the proper positions for measurement.
2. remove ONE shim, check the size. It is printed on one side, but might have worn off, so use calipers or a micrometer to measure it. RECORD IT. If it did not have the proper clearance, you will have to change the size of the shim, but don't worry about that just yet.
3. put that shim back in, move to the next one.
4. when all the shims are inventoried, compare all the ones that need to be changed. Quite often, they are different sizes and you can shuffle them around to minimize the number of shims you need to buy (or acquire from the GSR Shim Club).
5. in case you hadn't yet gotten the hint, there is a spreadsheet offer in my signature that helps you figure out what size shims you need, and will also help you keep track of your shims and clearances, so you will know what to expect next time.

Where are you located? Please put that information in your profile so we can see it and, if one of us is close by, can offer personal assistance. Also, put your bike information in your signature block.

Please use full sized pics. Can't even see those unless I save it to another window, then up the size. Way too hard.

This is what we see when we click on your pictures.





If they were down-sized from a larger format, they went too far. 800x600 is a decent minimum, this is what that size looks like:



Virtually everybody has a screen size that is at least 1024 wide, so if you make your picture between 800 and 1000 pixels wide, it will fit very nicely.

It also helps to host your pictures on a website, then post the IMG link, which will show the picture directly, without anyone having to click on anything.
