So given that the spec range for clearances on both intake and exhaust is 0.04mm and shims come in increments of 0.05mm I have an issue getting my bike within the recommended range. All my valves are just under spec on the tight side. Ideally I'd set them in the middle of the spec range however there is no way to achieve that with the available shims.
Looking at the available info it would seem I'm much better to set them loose even if they are slightly out of spec (say 13mm on the intakes and 18mm on the exhausts) than button it back up with the valves on the tight side. I'm going to race the bike so want to set it up on the conservative side since it'll be getting a beating.
