About to do the valve clearances on my TRX. Anyone know how much shims are, if it needs any?

Cheers, Corner

For a guide price look at the Kedo online catalogue:

Apologies, I cannot see shims on the Kedo online catalogue.
Quick phone call to your nearest Yamaha dealer is the way to go.

Also, try asking your bike mechanic if you can trade in your old shims.
I bought 5 shims recently for $20 after trade in.

yeah ive heard of the "exchange" thing. Ive got 10 shims spare here. As i have 2 motors.. Ill need to get more later on.

When people get kent cams, or get a cam reground, what size shims are needed ? The yam shims only go so thick..

Got tornado cams and they require thick shims, bought a bag of hotcams shims wich are mostly used on MX bikes.

$12 ea or $9 trade in at my local. It's not worth trading them in for $3 saving...

Hot cams set from the us would be the way to go I reckon.

Bought a set of Hotcam shims from the e-bay.

just checked out the ebay ones.. Wow.. nice kit and everything. Id prolly suggest that as the path to take. Think ill grab those when i get my cam reground early next year.
