I have my motor apart since I had a base gasket leak and in the process of replacing the gasket I thought I'd set my squish. Seem that from the factory my bike came with a .050 head gasket and a .020 base. With the stock gaskets I'm getting .055 squish. So it thats correct I can only take out .020 to get the desired .035, is this correct? What have other people had for measurements on their stock motors?

You experience is typical.

so my best bet is a .020 base gasket and a .030 head?

that sounds correct except most stock head gaskets are actually a .045 in my experience
