Title: Looking for that Cam, soon,, Post by justin_o_guy on 04/13/07 at 03:24:09 Well, if I remember right, the cam was sposed to have left the shop yesterday. The cam chain is soaking in oil & has been all day. I( couldnt find any liquid nitrogen, so the cryogenic experiment will just have to wait till the next chain. Maybe I can find some next time. Well, to be honest, it wasnt that I couldnt find any, I didnt get around to even trying. Bummer. |

Title: Re: Looking for that Cam, soon,, Post by LANCER on 04/13/07 at 12:20:45 How quick does she want to get to where-ever she is going? Or perhaps ... how fast do YOU want her going? Ummmm.... The cam is designed for low-midrange power. There is a significant performance increase that will be felt where you sit. Of course, if throwing in a cam then the carb should be rejetted at least ... or maybe swapped out for a perf carb ... and the stock muffler drop in favor of one that will flow MORE air. Engine/power wise, a carb/cam/muffler change can make the Savage act more like a savage. Before I started my rebuild in November mine did 0-60 in 4.9 sec. & 14.2 sec @ 89 mph in the 1/4. The perf readings were 45 hp & 42 lb/ft tq, and that was at the rear wheel. So......... is she a hot rodder? Are you? You may need a phone booth to change in when you ride it. IT IS FUN. |

W e l l l l l .............. not that I favor any particular brand or model, but I have been known to sell carb kits from time to time, and they usually have a Mikuni VM roundslide 36mm carb in the kit, and also included are a new rubber mounting flange with new stainless hex head bolts, custom throttlecable by Barnett, main & pilot jets, carb tool, tuning manual, & Iridium spark plug. There are also options available for those who are addicted to performance tuning. I just put the kit back on ebay today with a spring sale for just $295. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=002&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=120108723558&rd=1,1 I will put a version in the parts section here tomorrow. |

Title: Re: Looking for that Cam, soon,, Post by K1200LTryder on 04/14/07 at 04:27:22 LOL...my wife is not a hot rodder, and if I feel the need, my Honda runs mid 11's, and the BMW is a very close second to that. I was just wondering the advantages of the cam upgrade, but I think I'll pass. The bike has plenty of power for what it was intended for, but the valvetrain reliability issues being addressed is what is most important to me. |

Title: Re: Looking for that Cam, soon,, Post by LANCER on 04/14/07 at 06:47:43 For just good all around running I would suggest a stock sporty/dyna muffler and a proper rejet/tune of the stock carb. It will sound good without being obnoxious, run better than stock and not backfire. |

Title: Re: Looking for that Cam, soon,, Post by barry68v10 on 04/14/07 at 07:38:34 Hey Lancer, you mention that this new cam is setup for low-midrange...what's the profile (lift/duration) compared with the stock cam? |
