Contact Jerry if you don't have any luck with one on here.
I suggest you ring him, [number in club mag], as he isn't on the site too often.
Four pipes rule, anything else is second best.

Interesting, with a screw driver! I'm a million miles away, ok not quite, in Lancashire so do you want to nip up?

Baza, i know you was not talking to me. I was being cheeky!

I've also managed to find a shim tool half the price of z-power, same make too.

good stuff, I personally still find it just as easy with 3 drivers.. (Gotta be the rite size mind)

Have fun

Lots of local bike shops will have shims that fit, my old one was a yamaha dealer years ago and they had a box of them £1 a time if the owner was in

If my local Yamaha dealer know what a shim is i'd be amazed. Popped in a while bike for 2 inline fuel filters, i got a blank look! :shock:

That dealer was selling bikes when they had kick starts and you didn't need a computer to change a light bulb
