    I read something bout being able to swap cams from an 1150 into an 1100. Is this true or does it involve some special fitting. Just curious may be a project for another rainy weekend looking for some performance upgrade ideas for my 1980 gs1100l ive goe 4 into 1 exhaust and pods maybe looking into something more serious thanks guys

      How much more than the stock 1100 cams is that, and what about the duration?

      To measure is to know.

            Cams

            OK memory doesn't serve so well.
            What was pointed out to me is that the cam lift's were originally designed by Suzuki in increments of 0.5 cm and some of the lifts handed down through GSR that I consolidated do not match the manuals.

            I will update that table but in the mean time I found this in the GS1100 manual posted at Basscliff's site:

            GS1100E (pre 83) E=6.5mm I=7mm
            GS1000S E=I=7mm
            GS1100ES(83) E=7;I=7.5mm
            GS1100ED/ESD(83) E=7;I=7mm
            GS1150E (84-85) =7.5; I=8mm
            (from my 11150 manual)

            I also have a selection of cams I had previously measured so I have a hard time believing the table was that screwed up. There may have been some mixing of cams other than what the manual said. I was sure that the ED liftys were what I had measured on my supposed stock 83 1100ED
            6.5mm=0.256"
            7.0mm=0.276"
            7.5mm=0.295"
            8.0mm=0.315"
            8.5mm=0.335"

            fixed here.
