Default Valve adjustment shims

Hey just bought a zxr1200s rode it today and making a really heavy ticking , I am guessing the valves need to be checked , because I haven’t adjusted with shims in the past ( (owned a cbr) just wondering where is best to buy quality and reasonable price ?? Thanks

Personally I measured and figured what shims I needed, then bought them on ebay or Amazon, I forget which. You may be buying four of whichever, but it's still lower cost than buying a kit, which will have at least half of them to be either far bigger or smaller than needed. For as often as I am going to be buying shims, it will be less costly in the long run to order what I needed.
