Valve shims
Does anyone have an accurate measurement of the outside diameter of the valve shims for the 998 Spyder engine?
I am looking at purchasing a kit from AF1 Racing and getting it sent out to Australia and just want to be sure I am getting the correct kit.

They are 10.0mm which is slightly larger than the much more common 9.48mm shims used in lots of Japanese and Triumph bikes. I too, am in Australia and buy shims from here after I know what size I need. Sure it takes a couple of days to get em but that's ok with me.

If I remember right they are 10mm, the same as a Harley V-Rod

Now that would be useful to have. Is it possible that they are in the service manual?

The 2013 manual just gives the specs, no chart.

I am in Alice Springs, nearest dealer is 1550kms away, so freight is not quick here.
The kit from the USA costs around A$150 and supplies 2 of each shim.
I will check out Precision Shims and make a decision.
Thanks for the help.
