if an intake valve has .06mm clearance with 2.45mm shim
2.40mm shim would bring .06mm up to .11mm?
just looking for clarification that's all
thanx in adv

Yep, thinner shim = bigger gap

I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

You are doing the math correctly. A thinner shim will provide more clearance. The number on the shim indicates the thickness in 1/100 of millimeters. As a caution, use OEM shims. I have seen incorrect numbers on repro shims.
