All is well. :D
 
Hi!

Had a question on the exhaust side clearance limits. The online manual from this site says it’s between 0.26-0.30mm but when you look in the chart it shows the clearance limit as 0.16-0.20. I’ve attached the chart for reference. All of my exhaust measured somewhere between 0.21-0.25 so I’m a little confused on this chart as I’m trying to orders shims. Thanks!

Found another chart from my cyclepedia manual that shows the standard clearance in the chart between .26-.30mm(pic attached). Based on these 2 different charts, the Yamaha service manual would have me buy 265 shim to get in spec and the cyclepedia chart would have me buy a 255 shim to get in spec for that chart.

Not sure which chart to use. The cyclepedia manual has 2 sets of charts for model years 1985-2000 and 2001-2007.
