Hey guys, the bike I was working on has a hot cam in it.
Not sure if there are multiple stages, the kid just said it was a hot cam.
He claims the specs to shim the valves to are different for that cam as compared to stock.
Is this true?
If so, does anybody have the specs?
Thanks in advance

If this is on a 400ex these valves do not take shims they are a tappet style adjustment.
