    Shims are replaced, seeking advise before putting valve cover back

    With help from Steve and very fast shipping from Z1 Enterprises I have replaced four shims and moved one. My clearance is .038mm on three valves with a 2.70 shim, that is within spec. Would it be wise to order three 2.65 to gain more clearance? Thanks for any advise.

    I'd go to the smaller shim to get more clearance. The valves tighten with mileage. It's safe to ride now though.

    To measure is to know.
