JohnLuke Topic Author Offline User 1982 KZ750N Spectre Posts: 259 Thank you received: 5	Yeah. He did do that for me. I just can’t find the piece of paper he did it on. I could be wrong but could I take the shim where there is two much clearance and put it in my tight number 1 cylinder. Thus hopefully balancing it out. Does that sound logical. Thanks!

No, it does not sound at all logical. It sounds like you are just trying to avoid measuring the clearances and properly adjusting them. Keep in mind that if you do not adjust the clearances properly (see the Kawasaki Service Manual for details) you stand a good chance of damaging the engine rather than improving it. Ed

Thanks!

Measuring the clearances is the only way to see if any of the clearances are not within spec. If a wrong shim was inserted measuring the clearances should identify the problem. Ed
