Hi all,
My first topic posted so please be gentle.
There are plenty of guides and Youtube vids regarding checking of the valve clearances for a 2104 RT. However, I can't find a guide to actually change the valve shims. I know it involved removing the cam shafts but has anyone else found or created a guide or vid for the replacement of the shims?
Thanks all.

Head over to
http://www.jvbproductions.com and buy his DVD. It will tell you all you need to know.

Hi Levisp,
I had a look and it seems only to cover for valve checking rather than shim replacement.
I've e-mail the guy so hopefully he will clarify what's included unless you already know.
Cheers

I have his DVD for LC RT and he covers cam removable and shim replacement. Its a very clear video.

Hi T6Pilot,
Not done the shim check yet. Another 2000 miles until the service is due which will be another 2 weeks at the moment. Clocking up 900 miles per week commuting but the bike is lapping it up.
Hopefully the valve shims will be ok and the service will be straight forward.
