Fine-tune your engine timing with the Royal Enfield 570280/B Cam Gear Shim—a factory-specified shim designed to precisely align the cam gear on UCE single-cylinder engines. When installed as part of cam gear setup or during rebuild, it helps maintain accurate valve timing and proper gear mesh.
Made to OEM tolerances, this ultra-thin shim (typically 0.2mm or 0.3mm depending on setup) ensures optimal cam indexing without shimming manually. Sold individually in single units (but often stocked in bulk packs of 20), it's an essential part for accurate rebuilds on Bullet 350/500, Electra ES, Classic 350/500 EFI, Thunderbird, and GT 535 UCE models. Only compatible with UCE platforms—not usable on Meteor 350, Interceptor 650, GT 650, Himalayan 411, or J-series bikes. Ships globally.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is the purpose of this shim?
It sets the precise clearance and alignment between the cam gear pinions.
Q2: Can this shim be used on Meteor 350 or Interceptor 650?
🔴 No. Those models use different cam gear dimensions and require cam shims specific to their engine—this is strictly for UCE single-cylinder bikes.
Q3: How thick are these shims?
Typically in the range of 0.2 mm (0.008")—sold individually; engineers often select multiple shims for precise fit.
Q4: How many do I need per bike?
One shim per cam gear rebuild.
Q5: Is it reusable?
🟢 Yes—if undamaged. But always check thickness and wear; replace if bent or worn.
