skydoc_17 Posted July 31, 2014 #1 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 #2 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 #3 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 #4 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.
