Tappet shims
Going to have to check the tappet shims soon but do i buy a pack of varying sizes or do i have to measure every thing and buy them individually (having to put the bike back together again to get to the Suzi dealers :roll: )?
And what sort of price am i looking at, just out of curiosity? |
You need to measure them and then go buy what's necessary.
Or you could buy a dealer kit of shims if you want - about £4000 for the Suzuki kit right now if I remember right. |
I've heard of nice dealers doing it on an exchange basis...

When I did the Kwak the going rate was around £6.50 per shim. I'd book a mate to give you a lift to the bike shop or public transport it as there's no sense in doing all the work twice!
Make sure you have a decent metric micrometer and set of feeler gauges as I can promise you at least some of the current shims will have had the numbers polished off them by rubbing between the valve stems and buckets. :wink: You never know you may well find it's all in tollerence and you don't have to worry about it at all 8) |
