Does anyone know if the s10 uses shims(and what kind), or is it screw type? Is there a manual available for the s10 at this time?
thanks,

That' a huge adjustment range: .047". Usually it only takes a couple of thousandths thinner shims (if that), to get them into spec. at the first adjustment.ptfjjj said:I bought a service manual from xt660.com. It came in .pdf format on CD and seems to be a complete manual. It was only about $30. They refer to the shims as valve pads and they range in thickness from 1.2 - 2.4mm (.0472 - .0945 in)
THis may be the range, but remember, we need to know the outside diameter of the shims are as well since there are two diamter versions out there. I noted that in an earlier post here.ptfjjj said:I bought a service manual from xt660.com. It came in .pdf format on CD and seems to be a complete manual. It was only about $30.

Thanks Ron that is what I was looking for.RonH said:I looked up one of the part # for a shim, then did a google search. It came up same used on the new Vmax, then did a google search on Vmax valve shim kit and they came up as 9.48mm, so I "think" unless eroneous info posted that is the shim size we will be looking at.
Same as the FJR, and if it is as rock-solid as the FJR - we are in for a treat!!!RomKnight said:Good that the XT12 has a very long valve maintenance period.
Well the interval is all ready longer on the FJR than the ST - and yes, many FJR's are getting longer than that as well - or so I read...... I'm hoping the SuperT does equally well as the FJR in that respect.HoebSTer said:hey colorider, do you know if guys on the fjr forums are getting the mileage from the FJR's without an adjustment as they used to get from the ST's?
