With the pre '02 shim-over-bucket engines, the shims can be exchanged
by loosening the cam caps or by using a tool to compress the buckets.
Le5t me know if you want additional info.

Subject: [ST] Valve Job

Has anyone out there done their own valve job?  The tool the manual
specifies is T3880012 at about $130.
Now I know "non-dealer" shops can perform this service on our bikes,
so there must be a generic tool they use that can handle a valve on
top setup.  I doubt they'll buy a tool for every different model bike
they service.

Where can I find a less expensive tool to accomplish the same thing?
Ideas?
