Senior moment of the week.

<< < (2/4) > >>

mike the bike:
I used to have a special Suzuki tool to depress the bucket to whip the shims out.  It made the job 10 times easier.

royhall:
Unfortunately it won't help this job Mike as the valve collets are under the buckets.

mike the bike:
I know but it does make swapping shims easier. 
Wasn't there an engine where the shims are under the buckets instead of on top?  That must be a nightmare to work on.

royhall:
Yes there is. It's the preferred modification on Suzuki powered drag bikes that for some reason people have adopted for the road. Your right about the special tool it's a doddle to change shims with that.

Bryanj:
Some Kawasakis have the shims under, you need to do a CBX, evenwith a tool is a royal pia
