    Yamaha valve shims

    Anybody on here familiar with Yamaha FJ600, Maxim, Radian valve adjustment procedures? Mostly curious about diameter/interchangeability
    of the shims with other makes.

    They are a 25mm dia. shim, same as CBX and a few others. The old Yamahas such as XS750/1100 were 29mm same as Kawis.

      Thanks!

      After I didn't get any fairly quick replies, I 'Bingled' a couple of sites, and got info that was a little unclear, but your response cleared up the confusion, thanks again.
