First of all, hi. Just bought a fzr600r 94, about to do the shims, purchased fresh oil, valve seal and gasket. I know all measurements for clearances and general idea how to do it, what I don't is how there is 2 shims per measurement so how will I know what one is off? 4 in, 4 ex, but 16 shims, hope you understand my question. Thanks for your help in advance.

Oh right, I thought there was 4 cyclinders to measure for each?

Yes - each cyl has 2 intake and 2 exhaust valves.
If you're going to check your valve clearances, you need a manual. If you don't know how many valves your engine has, you don't have a manual ...
