I am new to your site but would love to annie up any left over and unused shims that I have left after doing mine. which will be after jinkster completes his online tutorial! Unfortunately I already bought the hotcams kit. which is in .05 increments, hope it will help the cause!

Re: Ya'll wanna start a..."Valve Shim Bank"?
the answer? not cheap... lol. (at least for mine)
so much for that 800$ cam :-(
I got a chipped lobe (crappy weld job, and a "pimpled spit face kid working off commission" or whatever you said) sent them back into megacycle. hardened buckets and new shim set on it's way. The old shims and buckets are all fine except for #4 on the intake.
Sometime in the next week i'll have a set for you, and will talk with my northern CO riding group. Maybe the roughriders chapter in Denver will have some floating around too.
I'll get back to ya.
Definantly...hence why the vast majority of owners wind up either...
a. Neglecting to ever get it done or...
b. Selling their bike as they notice "the top-end-chatter" increasing over the miles or?...
c. Burning up their valves or?...
d. Suffering the time loss of riding and financial consequences of the dealerships un-merciful ways.
I'm doing a little quick research of valve shim costs now.
and btw...i'm happy to see there's some intrest in this as i've witnessed the benefits of such a program first hand and...L8R, Bill.

Does anyone have a picture of the shims I have thousands of Busa parts in tubs and would like to help out with what I can.

How many have actually needed to have the valves adjusted at 15,000 miles?

I bought more this last time as I temporarily lost my own shims bank. Kawasaki also sells the same size shims (found that out this last time as I chased a certain size). I measure all mine in thousandths of an inch and find the markings on the shims are only in the ballpark. This site has been a real blessing! (Just did a fork seal replace after 86,000 miles)
I know all about shims.... Just replaced every single one after fitting newly reground cams.
I work at the Suzuki dealer and the 'Hot 'Cams' shims retail here at $7 each, I bought 16 and it was total cost price $4.80 each.

There are only what, 3 different diameters?
That fit most every motorcycle/atv engine that takes shims.

So, excuse me for being dumb here, how would this work exactly?, we check the size (gaps) of our shims, find out what size is required for a good fit, request said sizes from the shim bank manager, we send our old shims in to the shim bank manager, and he sends us the sizes we need? at a price? or does our old ones cover it? will we have a shim bank in the UK? or is this just USA idea? post and packaging will have to be paid for i gather?, would love to do my shims myself, just thinking of the daunting task of removing cams and stuff timing allignment, all that has always worried me incase it all goes pete tong...
