Re: Valve Shims

Determine what size you need and order the specific shim/s from Camskill or Wemoto.

About £2.50 per shim?

Most ike shops do shim exchange where you can swap out for the ones you need for not much money :)

Re: Valve Shims

Set for the exhaust just cost me £32 for the Sprint ST [Triple] but all done now and spot on for anothe 45K I hope. last time I checked them 24K the did not need replacing but although the inlets were within tolerance the exhausts were getting a bit tight.
I have never done them on an SV so I don't know what sort of mileage you could expect from the SV before they need replacing

Re: Valve Shims

15k is the service interval, but you'll not need to change them from what I've heard and read about Sv shims.

Just depends on how hard a life the Sv has had before the service interval has arrived
