Just thought I'd publicly thanks Dappers for his valve shim exchange service.

I've just used this for the 2nd time (once for the previous 9er and now for the current one) and it's great that he can provide shims that are more or less the thicknesses you require, rather than having to compromise to the nearest 0.05 which is what you get if you buy from a dealer. What's more, its a really friendly service too!

I will also take this opportunity to ask those of you who may have some un-used shims in their garage, and do not appreciate the service he provides, to send them to him for the benefit of all.

Once again, cheers mate and I'm sure I speak for many who appreciate your efforts

Tis a pleasure SL...especially with the aid of TPLQHCSRS....so whilst we are in hug mode (seems to be needed lately) I would like to pass on my thanks to Pa for taking the time to make what I can confidently claim as the worlds best Yamaha TDM shim transportation device.

[Studley Ramrod]

for Pa.

I'm the TPLQHCSRSFC No.1 Fan !

Hi,

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the valve shim??? I humbly confess that there are some English technical terms that I still have not come across, although I am certain I am familiar with them in my native language...come to think of it, since our language is the Bible language, and the TDM was not around those days, (could you believe this?!!) I am not sure there's an appropriate term in Hebrew for it....

Anyhow, would appreciate anyone's short explanation....

Thanks Rallyist and Studley for clarifying the issue.

I still don't know the Hebrew word but I'll call my mechanic and find out...

As for the "Male Teabag" - that's a great one!

Thanks guys for your responses, it's a pleasure, as always

The shim collection is either in a really really really safe location...or I have managed to leave them in an envy-loop after they returned from Saga (which they definitely did) and then thinking it was empty bung in the bin.

I am certain that they havent gone back out...but as an act of desperation, has anyone got em and I simply forgot?

[Studley Ramrod]

Not still over in Ireland then ?

I think I've still got a few shims currently residing in Liverpool, only a dozen or so though.

[dapleb]

No, they made it back safe and sound from Pa, safe and sound from Saga.......almost completely sure they didnt go out again....sooooo they are not where they are normally. Fingers crossed they turnip somewhere.

[bondy]

Are valve shims the same diameter as brake pistons!

[dapleb]

[bondy]

Not sure why it came out underlined?
