  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Where to buy Valve Shims

Where is the best place to get valve shims for the 2013 TE449?
Head Gasket?
Valves?

How reliable are the valves over time?

Thanks

If you've already checked and you know you need them. I've bought at the Yamaha/Honda dealer. If you want to buy a complete set you can buy them from Hot Cams. I have also found used sets locally on CL. I would just check and figure out what you need BEFORE buying. Also bring the same mic you used at home to the shop. The valves are never perfectly what they say. ALWAYS check before you buy. . . DTDT

My Bad, yes the 449/511 are different so disregard the part about going to a Honda/Yamaha dealer but the process is the same from looking at manual. You may need a trip to the dealer if you find you need replacements
 
Yes they are different. My dealer is a drive away, not one I will be doing. Sounds like it is a dealer purchase item only then.
 
You can get them through a Beemer dealer if they stock them and its a convenient location. If no just order through BMP. Theyll take care of you
 
If you are lucky like I am your local dealer will have an assortment of used shims. Measure yours, work out how much bigger/smaller you need to go. Then you can head to the dealer and they might swap you your existing one ones for the correct size spares. I got mine for $10 each, I dont think it is justified to spend the $ on a full shim kit unless youre running a shop.
