I'm looking for some advice from you guys, I know that there are a few mechs regularly on these forums that get to play on bikes for a living. I have 20+ years experience but on automotive and heavy eqpt.
I did a valve/carb adjustment yesterday and it made a huge difference, most of the valves were within specs, but on the lose side of the specs. I adjusted them to the other extreme of the spec and now that they are tighter it is really breathing. What a huge difference in throttle responce and HP output.
What is your view on installing GIXXER cams on my 2006 750? I'd like to get a little better performance out of the 750 but I think that if I install GSXR 750 camshafts I will not be able to get enough air/fuel into the cylinders to make it worthwhile. The GSXF carbs have a 36mm bore, and the GSXR has throttle bodies have a 42mm bore. Would re-jetting my carbs be enough? I don't think so, I thing I would be starving the engine of air, end up running rich and would never be able to get the RIGHT set-up.
The bike;
2006 750 Kat, brand new out of the crate 29 Feb 2008, 1,600 Km, Mods listed in Sig, no engine/exhaust mods yet.
I don't want to get too extreme into engine mods at this point, but always want more.
