Gotta thin out stuff to make room for car parts for my '81 RX7, and
property taxes are due, so....
I have many used (and some new) OEM parts from KLR605s fitting years '87-2007.
I also have two parted-out Tengais.
I also have hard-anodized KLR250 fork lowers and a new take-off
KLR250 headlight mount.
I have many, many valve shims, especially in the 260-275 range.
Some aftermarket items of interest include:
- a Progressive Shock body with 0-miles since warranty service.
- Dynojet kit
- grip heaters
Lemme know if you need anything. Include the year of your bike, and
part number if possible, and I'll see if I have it.
For pricing, set a general ballpark figure of 50% of ronayers.com
prices. Many "low-demand parts" , well-loved, or high-mileage parts
will be go for much lower.
Item's that I'm sure I don't have or won't sell:
-low-mileage complete engines
-Tengai body plastic
Thanks!
Mark

Great. I suppose you are hoarding all the ones in the 230-245 range.

I say you can if you're careful.
I once sanded a shim down one notch in a pinch (may have been 2
notches... it's been quite a while).
What I did was to place a new sheet of either 240 or 280 face-up on
a pane of glass and rubbed the shim back & forth and in circular
patterns. I measured the thickness with a micrometer. When it got
closer to the desired thickness, I switched the paper to 400, then
800, then 1000, with a final polish of 2000.

Good work, Mark! I suppose with a surface grinder, we could go into
business!
Cheers!

Back in the '80's when I used to do a lot of head work in the machine shop
you would have to wait a week or more for replacement shims and the garages
wanted the heads back ASAP so I used to surface grind shims for engines with
similar cam setups.
The important thing to remember is the cam lobes and the shims are hardened
to a similar hardness. If not you can have premature wear. Sometimes the
shims are only surface hardened so removing material will remove the
hardness. For this reason it is best practice to place the shim with the
resurfaced side in the bucket and leave the untouched side to ride on the
cam lobe.

I don't understand. It's an election year. Why are we being bombarded with useful, practical, and insightful posts like this?
