Any Ducati owner will know the painful truth of the desmo engine – regular service checks, which often require re-shimming of the rockers (it’s actually quite simple once you know how). Never fear – Eurobike has high quality, American-made Desmo Times valve shim kits and individual shims in the most common sizes. Order yours through your local dealer, or ask your mechanic to use these for your next service.

See the Downloads section below for info on how shims are measured.
