I've done a quick search on the forum, but would like some more info if poss. Suffered yet another oil leak over the weekend on the Girly, this time it came from a bearing cup on the cam, thread had gone and was pissing out of the cam cover. While I'm having the cup helicoiled, I might want to check the shims and valves, any hints and tips please.
the search button works fine ....................................
the link is in the sticky Girly how to thread.
:nod
Doing it yourself..you know then its been DONE!! I wouldn't trust a dealer after the experience I've had with my Daytona. I could offer you some assistance if you want,seeing as we're more or less neighbours :icon_smile:
Cheers neighbour, if I get stuck I'll give you a shout. Is there a How To section in the Girly area? Cant see one.
I'm using tapatalk, which I think doesn't show stickies.

Thanks,
Ok, I've followed your good instructions and have checked shim clearances, all of them were bang on apart from the middle exhaust shims, way out. Here's my measurements, can you advise on want replacement shims I need for the middle exhaust valve, can't find your sheet.^-^
You won't know what size shim to use until you see what size is in those two.
Now you need the shim tool or pull the exhaust cam so you can get them out.
I have the tool if you don't want to remove cam. Got some shims aswell.
I was thinking thinking of you earlier, I'm off playing on my Trials bike for the weekend, that would be really useful to borrow the tool,I'll give you a shout.
Thanks
