Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does the 8.90mm size matter for my KTM?
A: KTM four-stroke engines require specific shim diameters to seat properly in the valve bucket. Using the incorrect size will cause catastrophic engine damage; this kit is sized precisely for KTM valve specifications.

Q: How often should I check my valve clearances?
A: You should check your clearances according to your owner's manual service intervals, typically every 10–20 hours for racing applications or every 500-1,000 miles for dual-sport use, depending on how hard the engine is worked.

Expert Pro-Tip

Expert Pro-Tip: When adjusting KTM valves, always ensure the engine is stone cold. Clearance measurements taken on a warm engine will be inaccurate. After installing the new shim, rotate the engine by hand for two full cycles and re-check the gap with your feeler gauge to ensure the shim has seated correctly in the bucket.
