    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Aw man why does it have to be so hard??

When I did mine, the local Suzuki dealer swapped shims with me. No charge, although I did buy alot of parts from him.
 
Actually my local Suzuki dealer is being very helpful. While he hasn't just done swaps with me he has got pretty close and apologises for having to charge the little he does! If anyone is in Western Australia I can highly recommend McCulloch Suzuki in Vic Park.

FWIW I haven't seen any "X" shims, but have used a couple of 2.5 shims that are undersize to good effect.
 
So that was what that x meant.Now where is the silly thing.Cool I just learned something,always a good thing!
 
I have a bunch of x shims.
Typically, they mic .02 thicker than marked.
Example: 2.60x = 2.62
They very well might have started life at 2.625. ;)

I even have some marked 2.58 and 2.78

Good idea, if you have a (rare) co-operative dealer, but be VERY CAREFUL if your Suzuki dealer also carries Kawasaki and Yamaha.

They use 29.0mm diameter shims, Suzuki uses 29.5mm shims. Not real easy to tell them apart without a measuring stick.
