alright guys, so i got my 450r finally. my buddy i bought it from said it needs reshimmed. I has only a hotcam stage 2. it has stock shims, what size shims do i need for the stage 2, where can i get them and how much. also how would i go about installing them. I hate messing with the shims and im contimpating the idea of just putting a stock cam in instead and being done with it. any help is appreciated....
also anyone know where to download an online maual???? thanks

Well, for one.. if it's a hotcam then your valve shims are going to be out if you put the stock cam in too.
Check this video out, it's where I learned how to check my valves.

No matter what cam you put in you will have shims in there to adjust the gap.
If your concerned about messing with them find a good shop and fork over the dough. No shame in that....

Get a hotcams shim kit there like 60 to 80 bucks but you got all the shims you need plus extra.
