LOL...shims, yes and then there's the different diameters from the different manufacturers. Think about this, I've got a set of carbs made for a Japanese bike made in the 80's, that model is the only thing on this planet these carbs fit......talk about model specific parts! Who else does that?
You know about Fireblade? Wow, I'm impressed! Most have never even peered under the plastic of a cbr900. The engine in that bike only leaves the engine bay on the right side and only after several components are released in place. You were probably well not to tear it down honestly. It is EXTREMELY easy to screw up the cam chain/timing to the point where it looks/feels right but isn't......then at 11,000rpm, all hell rips loose.
THIS is beauty, art and simplicity....oh, and a crapload of speed & glorious 2 stroke noise!!
100hp from 45CI
Hard to beat.....for 50 year old tech....engine comes out either side and weighs less than 125 pounds . They look a little different inside too.....The cylinder is upside-down for port work, middle of the job so it's not clean yet but some have never seen the inside of a two stroke cylinder.
