Greetings everyone.
I recently purchased Stage 2 cams for my 2010 VRSCF and wondering if valve springs has to be changed. I did a lot of searching, but could not find distinct answer (YES or NO). Parts guy says no, but I would like to confirm with forum members. Beehive springs are nice, but they exert more pressure on bearing cap (at least according to the information that I can find). Also, is anybody know diameter of the shims? Thickness range very similar to BMW so I was wondering if they are the same.
Many-many thanks.
