My 2025 Grand Tour Activity

[DownUnder]

I grew up with 2-strokes, so all this valve clearance stuff is new to me.

My previous bike, a ZRX1200, had finger followers, so it was easy to just slide them across without removing the camshafts to change the shims. Shims under buckets are another level of pain.

I am fortunate that I had easy access (no snow or ice) to a friendly Workshop with lots of "exchange" shims otherwise I'd have had to also buy a shim kit.
