Valves & Shims - Input

[Guest]

This is my first time checking and adjusting valves on a gs and I could use some input.

Attached are my valve clearances and shim sizes.

I would like to get all my valves as close to the same as possible (0.07 - 0.08) to help tuning and performance.

I am looking for suggestions as to what sizes I need or which ones to swap around.

Any input is appreciated. This is for a 77 GS 750 B

Thank You

Are you mixing some metric and inch measurements? If not, a few readings have an extra 0. If these are all actually something over .04mm, you are in pretty good shape. If you want to get them to .07mm, just subtract the difference in what you have from what you want, then subtract that number from from the shim thickness you currently have. Also, lot's of guys run up around .1mm clearance. Ray

Shortly? Sorry about the wait.

Yes, it is, indeed, "world famous". Now in 17 countries besides the US of A.

Information is in my sig.

Sorry, the extra 0's were a typo. I used a metric feeler gauge. (My bad). Lol

Looks like all your clearances are within spec

What air says. Check them again in another 5 K, may be due then. Ray
