GS 750 Cams in a 1980 GS850

[jonymacmadcap]

Hi all,
I am still doing the search here but thought I would ask. I am going to be rebuilding the top end on my newly acquired 1980 GS850G. I wanted a little more peakiness and it was suggested to me to swap the cams that are in the bike now. (1000 cams I believe) with those from a 750. If I elect to go this route, what parts beside the cams themselves should I be looking for as I seek out the cams? Is this a fairly common swap? Is there anything specific I I should be aware of before I attempt this?

Thanks in advance, Back to work running searches....this place is just too cool.......

Suzuki changed the cam timing to lower the power band but my expectation is that the change is minor. You should be able to replicate this change by slotting the cam sprockets on your existing cams and then degreeing them to your desired settings. There is an excellent thread in the old Technical forum by Suzuki Don on this very subject so you might want to tune in to gleen some info.
