shim tool question

[ddaniels]

Any chance you are planning on a valve adjustment the latter part of March?

I will be home and can stop by and show you how easy it is.

Thanks a bunch Steve, but I just did one a few weeks ago after putting in a different set of cams. All good to go now, unless the cams don't work out for whatever reason. I have to pull the carbs and clean them again when it's warm enough in the garage and/or I feel well enough after my hernia surgery. Left gas in it without stabilizer. Doh!

Well, then I guess I'll have to invite you over my way. I am going to do a top-end gasket replacement on Mrs. Steve's bike, so there will be some valve adjustment checks, too.

Just let me know when.

I'm pulling the head for valve guide seals soon so I'll have the easiest shim access yet

found an easy way

thanks for the posts guys, and basscliffs pictures. i stumbled across an easy way to use the shim tool by turning the cam to depress the shim and bucket, the placing the tool in and turning the cam off again and what do you know "click" out comes the shim worked every time for me and made my day a lot easier that i thought it was going to be,

my next step is to get a few new shims, does anybody know a good place in the uk? to swap or buy?

thanks and regards
Dave
p.s many thanks to basscliffe and steve for their pdf files, it would have been a lot more confusing without you guys.
