Gap is ~ 1.0mm?

Shims can be had at a dealer.

as a follow up, I finally got around to dealing with this.  Bike was running a little rough but otherwise it ran so I procrastinated.  In the computer, the dealer showed 3 shim thicknesses, 1.0mm, .8mm, and .6mm.  I wasn't sure how thick the one I had was, but it was around 1mm.  I don't have a digital caliper.  I knew the gap was over 1mm so I asked for both the .8 and .6.  THey didn't have any .8's on hand, so I took the .6 home and figured I'd try and see.  It was $4 after tax, so no big deal if I was wrong.

Swapped out the shim, measured the gap at .85'ish (my .85 feeler fit, my 1mm did not) so it would seem the OEM shim is .8mm

the inspection bolt is much easier to remove/replace after you've done it once.  Bike fired up and idled fine.  Tried it again in the cold morning and same thing.  It did seem to start a little easier but that might have just been me mentally justifying the fix.
