I agree with all the above. When I adjusted the valves on my ninja 250 most valves needed 2.80 to 2.95 thick shims. Just having three of each size was a bummer but luckily I was able to move around some of the existing shims to get all my valves where I wanted them.

Until I opened my engine up I had no idea what range of sizes where needed so I just bought the full kit (local MC shop had it). That and they also fit my KX250F and I assumed the full kit would ensure I was covered there too.

If every one who has adjusted valves on this bike end up using shims around 2.85 thick then you can probably get away with just ordering a variety of refill kits around that size and save a lot of money. The same link I provided also sells the refill kits if you scroll down the page a little.
