kinda hard to do google gives me nothing
shim under bucket or shim over bucket? shim over is easier to adjust, shim under holds adjustment fairly well, but the do have to be adjusted, eventually, and it's a PITA when you have to actually adjust them

PITA, ill give you that one. I think it's just another learning curve. Once done a few times, it's cake.

musta been shim over bucket then, there's a tool to depress the bucket and you change the shim
not as long lasting an adjustment as shim under bucket, but fairly easy, I learned to do it on an old GS850 (2 valve per cylinder model, 1982 IIRC)

Bucket and shim is why I no longer own a Kawasaki. I like Savage valve adjusters, set them once after break in and forget about them. In 12 years of beating the tar out of my 1998 model Savage, it NEVER went out of spec, even with the engine so hot it was glowing... wide open throttle from Long Beach MS to Destin FL, in the middle of summer... pipe turned black.

Yeah I like the '34 Chevy style valve adjusters on the S40, too, when I can reach them
Suzuki made them very hard to get at with a feeler though, with those tiny, badly shaped access panels
My Ninja 500 had the exact same type of adjusters, more easily accessed (once you got all the fool bodywork off)
