Finally got around to a test run (been traveling) with the new cams.
I should also note that I have a TM32 on the bike now as well, along with a few other winter mods...
First off, the carb: started with a 30 pilot; it was way too rich. Put in a 27.5 and now it starts first kick(1.5 turns out). Doesnt like any choke at the moment (its been 60-70s) here. Think my 1/4 to 1/2 throttle is too rich. Currently using a 190 main and a P6 needle jet. Needle is stock, on the middle clip at the moment. I fabbed up a cable from an iron barrel.
s-Cams: Noticed nothing different (except a very responsive throttle and good torque) at the low rpm. Noticed a huge difference between 2400 and 5000 rpm! Same as Bill Harris, I hit an indicated 75 mph in fourth, around 4900 rpm (I have a cheap little digi tach; not very responsive). I didnt get a chance to drop into 5th and go WOT due to traffic. I need a good stretch of road to do my plug chops. Again, I think im rich in the middle and have a few flat spots to work out. I think the valves are quieter with the s cams. They are not to tight and the cam lash was set very conservatively (not tight at all).
Other mods:
- Hated the drag bars. Didnt like the way the controls and master cylinder laid out. Put the super bars back on.
- Dremelded the exhaust pipe at the head and took down that steel ring by a couple of mm.
- Fixed a couple of leaks on the gear box and primary; now have a small leak from the timing cover (new gaskets with a little sealant).
- New DID chain.
- Cheap eBay bar end mirrors that dont vibrate at all!

Should have done this a while back. Thanks again to BW for providing these cams! What a difference.
