cam id

just got some high lift cams for the z650, need to id them.
only makeings i can see on them is "joy 2" and thats engraved on the shaft.
will have to wait till its built up to mesure lift etc but you can see the differance over stock ones

cheers rob

found them
uk based company but there dont do them any more.
it has .375 lift on a 105 lobe centers so a big cam for the 650
just need to find some valve springs now and poss some shim on top buckets.

go to ape and you already have shim under bucket set-up ape has some of the best valvetrain components.

Guy you are fast, beat me to it kzzone.com/cams.html

yeah after another conversation with the guy who made the cam i will be staying with the shim on top.
he described the cam as full race in a 650 as it was designed as a fast road/race cam for the 1100, but that dont mean anything in my book.
i'll get it in and set up, see if i need to clerance anything. any idea on what springs i'm going to need?
cheers rob

dont think I have ever seen a over bucket shim for the 650 motor

ment to say shim under bucket

That raises a question. If you can put a shim-under setup from a 650 into a 900, can you put a shim-over setup from a 900 into a 650?

Anyone done this just for easier shim maintenance?

Don't mean to highjack this thread... just curious.

Maybe, but why would you want to add 25%-30% more weight, to your valve train?

I recently got a 650 head in that was setup with S.O.T.

Ran that way for many miles....

Definitely not a peformance improvement, but some just use a bike for basic transportation. I could see it making routine maintenance a lot easier, plus no chance of stripping cam bearing caps.

.375 lift doesn't need shim on bottom.

You can run 900 sot setuo in a 650

The springs you need are #VS900K kzzone.com/cams.html
