    I'm adjusting the valves on my Falco. It takes a 10mm diameter shim. Anyone know if there is another bike out there that takes the same size? I know the Buell 1125s do but the local Harley dealer doesn't service Buells. Seems KTMs take a 9.5 mm which doesn't work. Anything else out there that might work?

    I have an '02 RSV Mille R, which has the same motor as yours I believe.

    I got my shims at a Harley dealer. I think the V-rod uses them. Just don't tell them what you ride or you'll get "oh, we don't service metric bike" comments :)

    I believe you can also find small refill kits if you just want a few and already know what size you need...
