There are many ways to figure shim clearances but the oldest and the best way is to download ShimCalc here.. http://home.roadrunner.com/~ironjungle/sw.html#ShimCalc Fred www.arrowheadmotorsports.com From: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of gjbellinger Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 7:16 PM To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Subject: [DSN_KLR650] VALVE SHIMS HOW TO SIZE 'EM?

<><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><> Each shim size change is equal to 0.002". Valve clearances are: exhaust 0.006"-0.010" intake 0.004"-0.008" Shim sizes will need to be smaller than the shims currently in use.

Listers, Heads, Thought some of you may be interested in a new motorcycle adventure type magazine. It's called Outrider Journal and is new with the first issue out at the beginning of this month. This is a high end magazine coming out four times a year. I got my first issue today and after a quick glance, it's gonna be real real good. The construction is good with lots of interesting color photos, the materials are top end and the articles look very interesting. If you are interested in adventure motorcycling this might be worthy of further consideration. Learn more at: www.outriderjournal.com No affiliation other than I'm a two year subscriber.
