the time has come to check and adjust the valves (as well as some other minor maintenance) on my 07 fz1. the plan was to do it this winter but i was distracted with restoring my sisters ninja 250. two bikes apart in my already crammed garage would have been a nightmare. anyways, spring is just around the corner so i need to get butt in gear and start on mine. ill probably be asking many questions as i go through the process but for starters what do you the easiest and most economical option for valve shims is? i checked with one local motorcycle shop and they say they can only sell me refill packs of whatever size i need (they are more apparel than parts but are basically my neighbors so i had to check there first). do you think a yamaha dealer would sell individual shims or is there anywhere online to order individual ones? or do you think it will be quicker and easier to just buy a valve shim kit?
