does anyone know what size our SD's use (outside diameter) wanna buy a kit and cant find one listed but i think they use 10mm and they are easy enough to sorce any info welcome
My mate did mine and im sure he said they were 10.5mm, tried giving him a phone just now 2 ask, but he's not in so can't confirm, will try 2 get in touch with him later, I remeber him saying most bikes are 10mm
10 mm
If it helps harley kits are the same size and they do smaller increments.
Im curious gfunkmc how many km your bike has done. I recently checked mine at 30k and the were fine and I think klinck checked his at 30 miles and his were good as well. Do yours require shimming or are you just preparing for the worst.
aprilia's rotax twin use the same size shim.
mines on 9,900 miles and last time i did a service was 6,000 and iv had it from 4,500 but havent checked the valve clearence so im thinking they r gonna need doing sooner or later and if i strip it all down for a service ie plugs,oil+filter,air filter clean, check the valve clearence and do find it needs adjusting i wanna have the shim kit there straight away other wise ill be off the road arsing around trying to find shims and that my friend can be quite gay
10 000 miles...............its barely run in
10mm and Hotcams now sells a full shim kit for them... cheap too.
