Wouldn’t the advantage of shimmed valve spacing be that the manufacturer can omit the individual adjustment? How would this even work? They would need to run the engine for a bit to give the valves a chance to settle in, then take everything apart again to measure and install the proper shims? This would be very expensive. Aren’t modern manufacturing tolerances able to omit this and use the same size for all bikes coming off the line, at least for a while?
