    Hi
    Does anyone who’s removed the valves from a 955 triple head know, or are able to confirm, that the dimensions of this valve spring compressor are within range?
    PS still battling with head bolts but I’m positively thinking ahead o_O

    Do you need to get the valves out ? Because there is a different tool if if you just need to change the shims if the valves have stretched.

    Hi, Ivor...yes, removal of the valves to reseat them whilst I have the head off.

    Looking at the compressor you have you should be able to get it to fit, there is plenty of adjustment on either end of the compressor.

    I used a compressor virtually identical to that to rebuild a Z1000 head years ago which will have similar dimensions. They're a generic tool with plenty of adjustment so should be fine IMO.
