This Saturday I plan to change the shim in my front exhaust valve on the #2 cylinder. This is the only shim change needed based on my valve clearance check a few weeks ago.
My bike has 16,000 miles on it. The current clearance is .18mm. The ideal clearance is .25mm +/- .03mm. I received the Hot Cams shims today and have a choice of changing the shim in .05mm increments.
So, I can either change the clearance to .23mm or .28mm. Which shim change would you make on this exhaust valve?
