Where do you find the size of the shim on a Kawasaki Kz1000?
The size is usually marked on the bottom side of the shim. If there’s no measurement, the shim can be checked with a caliper. If the clearance is smaller than it should be, you will want a smaller (less thick) shim. If the clearance is too large, you will want a larger shim.
