Valve Shim Kit

Post by Toaster »

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know where I can purchase a Valve Shim Kit suitable for a 2019 BMW R1250RT?

I notice there are kits on ebay for some other motorcycle makes, but none specifically mentions that they would be suitable for BMW or the RT specifically.

Do many of you guys adjust your valve clearances yourself?

Cheers,

David

Just buy each shim as you need it it will be much cheaper than buying a full kit

The 8.90mm diameter kits will do the job. :thumb:
