Valve Adjustment

Had my mechanic friend do mine on my 2014 Roadster at 16000 miles. There was need for a couple to be shimmed. The shims are available in a "Box of shims" and they come in varying thicknesses which is what you want. One valve may need one thickness and another valve a different thickness. You wont know until they are being gauged. Make sure you have a new gasket set on hand as well. Its an important job to have done IMO. Pretty easy when your'e watching. It's all good tho, makes the motor quieter.

My 2014 had been on the dyno and i wondered if this was why a couple needed shimming? They wring the bikes neck while its on that!. i'm thinking "Don't bloody break free!!"....she'd be gone if it did!
 
I cant use this for my under bucket shims
