Ok, I have a 2005 gs500f and I took it all apart and checked the valve clearances, left intake is too close, right intake is took close, left exhaust is good and right exhaust is too far. I just want to know if it comes with a standard shim from the factory or do I need to pull them out to see what they are. Weather got me so I had to reassemble before my engine got a drink.
Shims come in only too sizes:
A bit too thick, and a bit too thin!
Just kidding, but you'll have to pull them and see... and ideally measure them with a caliper. They come in all sizes, even fresh from the farm.
thanks, I was just hoping that I wouldn't have to tear my little GS apart again to measure the shims. Well I gess the more times I have to take her apart the better I will remember what goes were. Thanks :cheers:

You are exactly right. Even with having a hugh assortment, I still cannot get the perfect size. It really sucks when someone has installed them in the wrong way and the cam has worn off the thickness marking.
