just another numb ?
what size are the valve shims on my 2002 P21 police bike KZ1000
are they 29m

they are over bucket type if that helps
the reason a ask is Z1-interprise only sells 29m is this correct?
again thanks for the help

29MM Yamaha shims will work too. Only difference is the shim size starts with a "Y".
