I should like to collect some information before opening the cam cover.
Mainly I want to be trust about shims availability in some shop near me.
I suppose that the Legend TT shims are the same used in few Japanese motorbike.
Probably I find easier the shims if I refer to Japanese shims respect to Triumph shims.
What is the diameter of the Triumph Legend TT shims ?
Are there any Japanese motorcycle having the same shims used in my bike ?

Get a gasket for that cover, or be prepared to make a new one, that one is delicate so can tear easily.

I suppose that the engine oil level is below the front side cover on the right side.
Can I remove the cover without removing the engine oil ?

Before starting the job I can lead the motorcycle on the right side. In this way the cylinder head oil falls into crankcase through the cam chain inter-space.
I used this procedure in other motorcycle for reducing the oil collected in to the cylinder head.
