Kaw and others made a valve depressor tool for my old KZ so you could get the shims out without removing the cams also, and the shims have the size inked on the backside so you know what the thickness is and can figure the size you need to get in spec. just wondering if the 250s shims are marked also. I've only had to adjust the valves on the Z1R twice in 70K miles.
