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

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

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

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
