    I bought a hot cams kit from my closest dealership about a year ago, the bike came from his shop as well. After a broken kneecap last year I havent ridden in about a year so the bike collected dust. Now im riding regularly again and thought, im going to do my first valve check/adjustment. So, Ive got a tight exhaust valve, grab my trusty expensive shim kit....and they are WAY too small. Goofball at the husky dealer sold me the 7.48mm kit. :banghead::banghead::banghead::thumbsdown:

    I didnt even know there were two sizes, I just assumed being a husky dealer, he would have sold me the right kit. :confused:

    Now its been over a year and I have no receipt.....off to the yamaha dealer to get the shims I need.

    For the record Motosportz had the kits fairly inexpensively last I checked.

    I'm changing the title of the thread
    "valve job" -> "valve adjustment"

    07 TC250, the folks at the honda dealership had some shims for me. :thumbsup: It was even easier to do than I thought, thank Coffee for his video. I had a tightish exhaust valve, it ran a LOT better today, didnt seem to fart and die as often.

    Heres a shot from today!

    The hot cams kit (80$ from dennis kirk) has a bunch of shims you would never need for a husky, the motosportz has the ones you would use and cost less. I
    think I may need be able to use the other ones in my HC kit on my suzuki DRZ400 and SV1000S. Maybe even my wife's Yamaha FZ6, but it may use a different diameter of shim.

    To add insult to injury, I went to install a new front rotor last night from the same Husky "dealer" that I got the wrong valve shims from, and its from some other random bike, its about 1" smaller diameter, and the bolt pattern is completely different.

    I like huskys, but man these guys could really turn off a LOT of customers with their poor service.
