SHIMS

I have a 1988 fzr1000. The shims that came out of it are kind of like buckets so that they grab onto valve stems. I purchased shims online and they were completely flat? Am I missing something here or are they simply the wrong shims. If they are wrong where can I get those bucket style shims I have searched everywhere. HELP PLEASE!

Hi,
It sounds like you have the wrong shims. They should be the bucket type shims.
You should be able to get the right shims from a yamaha stealership, or a site like powersportparts.net

I could be wrong but i think 87-88 has the bucket type shims 89 onwards have the flat shims. He must have an 88.
Somwone correct me if im wrong.

- the 87-88 used 1AA-12168/12169, while the 89+ used 1HX-12168/12169. I couldn't find a good pic, but the diagrams in the manuals show the 87-88 use a considerably taller shim.

Guys,
check the engine number then ask a Stealership for the part numbers, year models are wrong most of the time ie a UK 92 is a US 91
You could always PM STIG on this list he has a number of 1K guys who know their stuff if he gets stuck.
