GS650 Valve Adjustment

Been Around the Block
I am feeling pretty dumb right now and just want to double check before I order my shims. My main question is which number on the feeler gauge is in mm? The 2 valves that I believe need adjustment wouldn't even allow the thinnest feeler gauge I have ( .0387 ).

Here are my numbers:

Intake- 1) .051 -.076 2) .038 - .051 3) .051 - .076 4) .051 - .076

Exhaust 1) <.0387 2) .051 - .076 3) <.0387 4) .038 -.051

Shim Thickness
1) 2.78mm 3) 2.75mm

First off I want to make sure my measurements were indeed in mm because the feeler gauge had 2 sets of numbers.

If my numbers are correct then only the exhaust valves #1 and #3 need to be adjusted.


Here is the big mystery the spec is .03-.08 clearance. My #1 shim is 2.78. I would think I would want to subtract .05mm from this to be within spec which would mean that I need a 2.72mm shim however when checking the chart in the manual it says that if you have 0-.02mm clearance you need a 2.35mm shim.

Can anyone clear this up for me? Am I doing my math wrong or is there something that I don't know here?


Thanks.
