skydoc_17 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Hey All, My Valve Shim Kit has recently returned home, and if anyone is interested, I would be happy to get it out to you. This Valve Shim Adjustment Kit works on both First and Second Gens. Here's the deal, You purchase a set of Valve Cover Gaskets from me, (which you need anyway to do this project properly) I ship you my shim kit and the gaskets, when you are done, you send the shim kit back to me in the condition it was sent. The total cost is $70.00 and you pay the return shipping of the shim kit back to me. Feel free to PM me if you are interested. Earl
YamahaLarry Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Sounds like a good deal. Not ready to tackle adjusting my valves yet, but will try to remember this when I do. Bike has 28k on it, and I guess I should start thinking about when I will check the valves. But, running good at the present, and my motto, if it aint broke, don't fix it.
MiCarl Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 .... my motto, if it aint broke, don't fix it. My motto too, but not in this case. By the time you notice a problem you'll be in for a MAJOR repair. Check them.
ToyOdie Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Skydoc, I'm thinking about doing the valves on my 97. I did them on my 96 at 54k with Ruffy about a year and a half ago. I think we used your kit. (It had the bucket tool included) I only have 13k on the 97, but I hear valve noise at higher RPM's in all gears. I'm thinking I should do them now instead of waiting until 22k. I'll PM you when I'm ready.
