it's not so bad, can go swimmingly smooth or a bit frustrating, best thing you can do is cable tie the sprocks to the chain before moving if needed, good luck
Remember if replacing shims you'll only be able to get em in increments of 5 so plan accordingly..

As Cliff says, firmly cable tie the chain to the cam sprockets if you need to remove the cams. Makes reassembly and subsequent cam timing much easier.

It all came apart. Think it was looked after before, hopefully. Now I have poor old thing.
I'm in Gloucester anybody close. Just curious.
Had a bit of banter off the guys on the VTR forum. But it's all good fun, mind you I have given a bit out in the past
Ohh btw sprokects and cam chain cable tied together. Fingers crossed 🤞☺️.
No wonder garaged avoid, lie or charge ott prices. Thankfully I am not against the clock

The oddly numbers shims were probably factory fitted. Either the valves haven’t tightened up or a previous owner shifted them around to get the correct clearance on a previous service.

I've seen odd numbered shims on ebay, didn't a dirt bike have the same shims?

I would imagine there are quite a few engines using the same size shims, it'd be a hell of an outlay to use odd sizes for one engine type especially when there's so many size options to stock.
The odd numbered ones on ebay would likely be originals that have been swapped or bikeshop stock sell off.
Current toys: '99 XT600E, 2000 4TX, '82 Princess 30DS (where the username comes from), No longer a '03 Fazer thou.
Save the planet, it's the only one with beer!
