Wanted: KTM valve shims, 10mm

Recommended Posts

I am in need of valve shims to complete an adjustment on a 950, I know that I had a set but maybe included it in the sale of a bike.  10mm set.  I will order and replace any that I use.

Thanks to LB (Oracle) for loaning me the shim set.  Now I know how to do 950 valve adjustment!

wee bit of a bitch of a job isnt it?

Done it twice now on the 990, both times very time consuming to get it right.

BTW HD makes shims that will also work and they come in 1/2 size increments the KTM ones do not.

It’s not too bad, no cam chain tensioner or cam chain removal.  KTM cam markings are garbage, though.  Even the factory manual didn’t help much.
