My biggest problem, living in the boonies, has been getting shims. I think two shims were within spec, and I was able to rearrange three others. Of the remaining three that needed replacing, I was able to buy two at the local (yes, singular) Yamaha dealership but I'm having to rely on my compatriots on this site to get that last danmed shim.


We need to start a shim bank. Rather than ship old shims to one volunteer's place and burden him with disbursement, maybe we could just post shim sizes we had on hand or something. When I bought mine, I was fortunate to find needed sizes among dealer's assortment of about 8 or so.
