Valve Shims, Are They The Same For All FZR1000's???

Post by barneyfzr600 »

Was wondering if all FZR's and YZF's share the same valve shims? Saw what DJALBIN posted and would like to get a set if they are compatible between all years of FZR's<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :riding --><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/ ... iker_3.gif ALT=":riding"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><br>Freelance Bodyman<br><br>I be ridin the Cali Bay Area '88 & '89 FZR1K BOTH ARE ONLY HALF NAKED NOW!!!</p><i></i>
