Smitty161 Posted February 11, 2015 #1 Posted February 11, 2015 Need to reach out and ask...bike is apart and I can't find these shims, rather I should say the dealer can't...I am in need of (1) Shim 2.70/25mm and (6) Shim 2.65/25mm...If anyone can help or point me in the right direction I would appreciate it...thx
MiCarl Posted February 12, 2015 #2 Posted February 12, 2015 You need a new dealer. They're still available from Yamaha: 2.70 26H-12169-10-00, 2.65 26H-12168-Y0-00 They're also available aftermarket for about half the price. The distributor is K&L Supply and their part numbers are: 2.70 13-7624, 2.65 13-7623. If your dealer isn't selling from K&L they are the only retailer in the business that doesn't. Unfortunately, I've got no 2.70s and just one 2.65 on hand. Since K&L has a $50 minimum order and it's winter here I'm not likely to be placing an order soon. @skydoc_17 might have them. Or google the part numbers. Or, you can just take your Dealer parts department the numbers I provided and have them get them for you.
Smitty161 Posted February 12, 2015 Author #3 Posted February 12, 2015 Thanx for the response...sitting down and looking myself has confirmed everything your saying. Going to have a hell of a conversation with my dealer. I have my brand new parts heading to me off of eBay. Always forget to use them...
djh3 Posted February 12, 2015 #4 Posted February 12, 2015 I did my 900 Vulcan and needed one shim. (they are different size than the ones we need) But I called a local indipendant shope and he had what I needed. Cost me like 3-4 bucks. Sometimes you can trade them. These shims are used on a lot of bikes from Honda to Suzuki, Yamaha. Mostly older designed motors I think.
Smitty161 Posted February 13, 2015 Author #5 Posted February 13, 2015 Cool...thx...gosh, another good idea...I guess my mind is on other things these days...should be thinking of some of these myself...Thanks everyone for the help...Temps in the 50-60s in Utah these days...be riding soon...
