Valve Adjusting Plates a.k.a. "shims"

[Grumpy Goat]

Just one more note on this subject. It's best to take your micrometer to the dealer and measure the shim you are buying. Your mike might not match the one the manufacturer used to label the shim.

Good idea, given the precision that one is trying to achieve.

... The Bmw price of about $8 for a shim is pretty high compared to what I paid when doing the Yamaha.

Actually that appears to be for the 8 shims in the "Qty" column so it would make it $1 each, even for BMW shims ...
