Higgy, my bike has not had a valve adjustment. It has over 20,000 miles on it. Do you think there are other shims I should order, besides what will be in the kit from EMS? |

Before ordering, check the current valves clearance following the good method. Then you know if you need to order what is not in the kit. |

Assuming nothing out of the ordinary, remember it is a Ducati, the kit Mike will send you should cover the job at hand. If for some unforeseen reason you need a shim outside the kit range Mike will swap you for the correct ones. If time is an issue I would recommend checking the clearances and the shims you have before ordering the kit. Its the only way to be 100% sure you get what you need in the kit. On my 907 I got what I needed the first time but as I remember I did have to grind two shims to get the clearance to nil on a closer or two. Not a big deal but tough on the fingers |
