    I have removed all of the shims that needed to be replaced from my bike, and figured out what replacement shims I need. Can anybody here direct me to where I can order these parts?? any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I just placed an order for these parts with the user chacal (I think it was about $30 for complete sets of both types of shims.)

    Send him a message indicating what you are looking for and he will get you more information.

    Click the logo/link in the site banner at upper right.
    or
    PM member chacal.
    or
    Email him at "info -AT- xj4ever.com" (Insert "@" sign.)

    He carries aftermarket shims for half of what Yamaha gets and they work fine; I've been running them in both of my bikes for a while now.
