valve adjustment tool

If you promise to send it back when you are done, you can borrow mine.

 

There is also a shim kit from one of the members(can't remember who) that has a tool with it. IIRC it was cost of shipping and add a shim to the kit. Someone who has used it will chime in soon, I'm sure.

 

Do you have a good source for shims? Your local Yamaha dealer should have them in stock as they are still used for other models. My local dealer actually trades them for free.

After a bit of searching, I remembered it is skydoc_17 that has the loaner kit. You do need to buy the head cover gaskets from him to use the kit. I have purchased many items from Earl and have to say his quality is excellent and his prices are reasonable. His customer service is unbeatable.

I used Skyfoc's kit a few months ago. Having all those shims meant I could change them as I went instead of recording each one and going back to swap them. A huge timesaver. Earl is great to work with, I've bought clutch kits from him for both bikes also.

Thank you gentlemen for responding. I sent a message to skydoc for his kit. If I don't hear back from him I will take you up on your offer for the tool. I would have to order the shims on ebay, so i think his kit will be the better route.

chow for now.

You Gents are WAY to kind! Thank you very much for the kind words! I PM'ed Tim, and if he chooses to purchase a Bucket Tool from Jeff or borrow the tool from Rich, there would be absolutely NO hard feelings whatsoever. I recently posted the Loan of the Shim Kit in the "Member Vendor" section of the Classifieds, Everyone is welcome to use it, Here's the link:
