After My initial valve adjustment requiring 2 trips to the dealer, I am considering buying a shim kit have any of you done this and then later opened the engine and changed or inspected the shims? I want to find out if any one has had difficulties with after market shims.. | ||

I have one, used it on the last valve check I did on mine. Worked fine, I kept the kit even though the 1125 is gone now. | ||

If you get the KTM kit, you get more sizes.(greater size range) The Buell and KTM use the same size shim. | ||

Yeah, I just bought the kit. Didn't want to screw around once I had things apart | ||

Good kit for the money - especially if you do more than one valve adjustment. | ||

Dean I presume that the valve shims are the same in the 1190 | ||

Yeah the kit is well worth the money. | ||

Be aware that the Hot Cam Kit is in .05mm increments, but the 1125R shims come in .025mm increments, so you might have difficulty getting the right shim. I have the kit and have had to fill the gaps at times. The 1125R shims are the same as the V-Rod shims so they can be found at non-Buell dealers (Message edited by rodrob on August 28, 2014) | ||

Thanks for the heads up Rob I was hoping to not have to make the trek to the dealer, I called HD and the local dealer said that they did not have a factory shim kit but had a loose assortment of shims all of the stuff for the service is due next week, |
