Standard valve shims?
Could somebody tell me the size of the shims that the SV650 K3 left the factory with or something roughly close?? Reason being is my loose cylinder heads were turned upside down and the buckets and shims fell out. I recovered everything except one shim and dunno where to start
 What I currently have is:1.80mm x2 1.75mm 1.70mm 1.55mm x2 1.72mm |

Re: Valve shims
Fire some in and play around until they are right.
You want 0.1-0.2mm intake, 0.2-0.3mm ex. There is not a standard size, could be anything.

Re: Standard valve shims?
There are no such thing as "standard" shim sizes, they are all selected when the engine is built to give the correct valve clearances.
