Feeler Gauge Set for Valves

[BeeVictim]

Hi guys - bought my 06 YZ450F in September with ~158hr on it, shimmed the valves at 163hr due to hard starting cold, and here we are at 181hr with not a single problem.  I'd like to reshim the valves again sometime in the next 10hr just to see how they've moved since it runs beautifully. The feeler guages that I used beforehand were too large so I ended up cutting them to fit, and then threw them away because they were garbage.

 

Can anyone link to a decent set of feeler gauges that fit easily without cutting them?  Thanks ?

I've never had to trim a feeler for a YZ450.  YZ250F, yes, but even then, certainly not in half, just a bit off the edge for the center intake.  Any half decent set from a good auto parts store should work.

I had the normal fat ones that were ~.5" wide last time.  Tapered this time around.

Normal 4" blade gauges are what I've always used.

I have an old set made by KASTAR. It has a tapered end and a blunt end. I couldn't find any of them for sale but I found a set on ebay that is just the tapered end. http://www.ebay.com/itm/FEELER-GAUGE-30-BLADE-SET-TAPERED-END-/301836199330?hash=item4646d6e5a2:g:r0kAAOSwHnFV41by&item=301836199330&vxp=mtr
