If you use a magnet to remove the old shims make sure to check if it became magnetized. If so, demagnetize the shim if you ever plan to reuse it or else it will attract metal debris and wear the cam lobe prematurely. Alternatively, you can use needle nose pliers to remove the shims to avoid that possibility. New long form going into this valve adjustment coming soon! Thanks for watching ๐ค

Unless its under bucket
Did that for gs400. It helped because although you do the math it does not always apply and have the correct clearance at the end. So taking off the cams is a big no no. Buy the tool and or try this, guess the valve tails are stil straight still

Frickin genius.
One bit of advice, don't use an old brittle zip tie, it could break off and fall down in and you won't get it back out
Good god
Instructions unclear, my bike blew up
Not on a central plug 4 valve per cylinder motor you won't, like most are today.
Does this trick work with a 2005 250r ninja motor? Trying to help friend get theirs road ready but I'm more suzuki/harley knowledge myself lol.
The price of zip ties are going to skyrocket! Stock up now...

I actually think pulling the valves is easyer just a few more bolts n a torque wrench to put em back just make sure ur timing is right.
Cool idea ๐ฎ
Nicely done, Sir.๐
The GPZ 750 had under bucket shims.
Will this work on KLR650?
Dig the shim out, turn it over and put it back in. As long as the shims have not been rotated before.
Perfect instruction for me! I got an old kz at home. I probably need this some day
Just a bad idea. You can bend the valve. The zip tie (or a piece of it) could end up in the cilinder. Also I think the valve would not stay open far enough to change the shim. Just use the correct tool...
That tool he shows was the FIRST tool Kawasaki had available. They introduced at least two other systems. The best one included a little lever and a little flat tapered wedge. You simply levered the shim bucket down and set the wedge in between the edge of the cam bucket and the cam. You could remove and replace the shim without turning the engine. The same tool worked on the Yamahe XS 1100 because they both used tge SAME EXACT SHIM. I still have a kit with all the iterations if the tool as well as a full set of shims.. Somewhere.....
