.
Anybody have experience working on valves that use shims?  I'm thinking
of getting a Kawasaki KZ750 and the valve adjustment on those uses
shims.  But I don't want to have to bring it in to a dealership every
3000 or 6000 miles and pay them exorbitant amounts of money for a
little work.  So can the average joe do it?  If I have to keep $20
of spare shims around, no big deal.  I figure I'll make up the price
after just a couple of tune ups by saving on labor.  What's the straight
scoop?  Thanks for the help, as always!
