Hi..fantastic info and would like to add my findings with my 2014 S40, recently fitted a stock DR cam (which I drilled the oil holes in quite easily) and set the timing as per the specs for a DR measured at .040" lift which is io 6 BTDC / ic 49 ABDC / eo 46 BBDC / ec 12 ATDC. I do have the slightly taller gearing with the Kawasaki drive sprocket, different exhaust, 96mm wiseco 9.1/1 piston, altered porting but the original CV carby & ..the bike ran OK & I did about 300km like this but felt a bit flat so advanced the cam about 9 deg by advancing on the crank sprocket then retarding the cam sprocket (I think thats right) so the io 15 BTDC & eo 55 BBDC...It felt better, pulls strongly from low down to about 4500rpm but then falls off & can't get it to rev much past 5... but as is still great fun to ride Am experimenting with a mikuni round slide & different filters also with exhaust systems but so far can't seem get the motor to rev. A motorcycle mechanic friend suggested that the flat face of the "D"shaped exhaust port is used by some manufacturers to improve low down torque but inhibits the fine tuning of the ex/system for the benefit of the incoming fuel charge as the returning pulse is stopped when it hits this wall. Doesn't matter if theres no overlap like the stock cam but restricts your options. Also it would be great to somehow get the benefits of some squish effect in this motor, the distance between the piston top & the head is big & a piston with more meat above the gudgeon could be worth a try, flat topped would be a good start to take advantage of squish. Ive seen a wiseco Yamaha 660 but can't yet find all the needed info.. anyhow the search for improvement goes on.... & the Christmas lunch awaits...so All the best for the season to you all
