Check and Adjust Shim Under Bucket Valve Clearance

I have decided to make a video on how to perform a Valve clearance check on a shim under bucket style cam set up. Exact procedures will vary bike to bike but will all be fairly the same. I am doing this on my 2004 Yamaha FZ1. All said and done it was a lot less intimidating than I thought it would be. I did a lot of research and I triple checked everything while working on it. There is a link to the service manual at the bottom of the description for reference.

This is my first actual video I have edited in ages, so bare with me on the amazing shots and voice overs! If you have any comments on it please feel free to ask, I will try and get to them in a reasonable time to help you out! All questions welcomed! Do not feel stupid for having any, no judgment!
