Does anyone know where I can find a valve compressor tool so I can remove the valve shims on the tops of the valves in order to do an adjustment on the valves?

Unobtanium.  I tried to order one from K&L through Yamaha last year & it is no longer available.  They come up on rare occasion on eBay, but I haven't seen one there for a few years.

Lucky has plans on how to make one - it may still be on his website (www.xz550.com) and is also on his CD-ROM.

You can also loosen the camshafts and remove them without using the tool.

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.
