Thumbs up on contacting Motosportz for the shim kit!

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Ok, embarrassed to say this, but I just checked my valves again, and of course they needed adjusting thousands of miles and several years later.
I actually needed to re-watch the video cause there were some tid-bits that I forgot.
Quick tip: Might be beneficial to actually measure the shims - both the ones you have, and the ones you are buying (if you are buying individual shims). At least it was benificial to me, cause I got it right the first time without trying various shims e.g. a pile of 2.4mm shims seemed to vary a bit, although they were all labeled 2.4mm....
PS: I fixed the video, smugmug support has changed and smugmug videos can no longer be embedded like we did in the early days of CafeHusky... so it is hosted on youtube.

Just pulled the valve cover on my TE450. Read the procedure from the owner manual and thought I remembered enough from watching the video a couple of weeks ago. Fuel tank really easy, unbolting valve cover easy..........wrestling the rubber gasket from the valve cover....annoying. Only to find just not enough room to get cover off. Re-watch the video to discover it just might be helpful to unwire the de-compress doohickey. Thank you Coffee all these years later.
