  • Will be looking for Valve Shims soon

    I have a loaner bike for the season so the XS is going to get some much needed love. I will be in search of valve shims soon and likely some advise along the way. I'm just putting out a feeler at the moment as who may have some various shims lying around that I can reach out to when the time comes. I plan to start dissasembly next week.

    Cheers!

    not a bad job

    Good luck, I am going through mine right now. I think a helper is nice, as they measure and document as you turn. Mine were tight as a frogs butt. I had to drop .20 on 3 of my intakes. The dealer in my area swapped me out what they had, and Rasputin has tons, I have 3 your welcome to let me know what you need.

      I do have a few depending on what sizes you need of course. Some of the sizes get used up pretty fast, but I do the best I can to keep exchanging them for those who need em.
