RX-1 Cams??

[AaronBND]

I was told today by a guy that runs turbos and has won Jackson 3 times that he uses R1 motorcycle cams in his engines. He said the RX-1 cams are very conservative and that you can get at least 10hp more using these cams. Well.......this got me to thinking, because I happen to have a spare R1 engine sitting on my workbench that I was getting ready to tear down that would probably only take an hour or so to swap out. Anybody ever heard of this before??? I need to find cam specs on both of these I guess. Might be fun to play with?

That is wery wery ingeresting!!! Think you should call the yamaha mechanic and see what he thinks.....I don't see anywhere in the shop manual that shows the cam lobe duration or angles.

This has been posted here in the past.
R-1 has the same cams as an Apex.
RX-1 has milder shafts.

How much it can cost to do a Cam swap ? With cam and time ?

Should be interesting. That would give a 148 HP RX-1
