Finally had a chance to do the valve clearance check and they seem to be out of spec. These are the clearances i got.

Front Cylinder
Intake - .004
.0035
Exhaust- .007
.007
Rear Cylinder
Intake- .0025-.003
.0025-.003
Exhaust .007
.007
On the rear cylinder i had .0025-.003, the .0025 was going in easy but the .003 wouldnt go in so its inbetween the two. Bike had done 31k miles and not sure if it was done at the 15k interval. Where can i get shims from? Is a kit better to get rather than individual? Thanks in advance
