Thanks Link14!

otakar, I have to admit that I don't know what a 29mm shim is. Is that the diameter? If so, no I don't have any.

Howdy, folks!

It's valve clearance time for my KZ750L3, which uses little under-bucket shims (parts number 92025...).

I've got
2x 260
2x 250

I need
2x 240
2x 235
1x 230
1x 225

(I'm getting a couple extras for the zero-clearance valves I have)

This is a good price for this kit, best I've seen this year anyway.

It will have the shims for this and the next few adjustments, worth it in the long run.

That set seems like a strange thing. It's $100 for 20 shims, with almost none of the xx5 sizes.. That's $5 apiece, where each shim is $4 on the same site! Why get the kit?

Look how much for the organizing box and you will understand. If you need some other goodies like filters, fork oil, etc I usually try to fill up on some basics when I order.


EDIT: I see your in Seattle area, why don't you post a wanted on the CL there? Big bike city and someone might have what you need.

Thanks for the suggestion. No one responded to my CL ad, and the kawi dealer won't trade old ones for new, so I'm gonna have to buy 5 shims, install, re-measure and cross my fingers.

Good news is that if some of them are the wrong size, the shop will trade me for the ones I just bought from them.
