1100 katana cam/ carb setup help wanted

[marcovandevelde]

Hi guys,
I'm building a standard katana 1100 engine into my 750 frame. As it's still out I thought I'd make use of it and set it up as far as I can. I read a lot about the standard cam timing being miles out. How do I set this up? I know there's some degree-disk needed (where to buy?), and I need to get my sprockets slotted?
It's a standard engine which runs 4 K&N filters on standard carbs. Any tips on how to setup the carbs/ cams with these filters? I use a marshall straight-thru pipe. I'm going for usable power and smoothness rather than top end.
Thanks in advance, Marco.

Hello Marco
Check out this site and print a copy of this degree wheel on card stock and either glue it on a peice of thin metal or have it laminated for a couple of dollars.

I've heared the that the cams at 106/106 degrees works well for street use several times, don't know if it that was for a 1100. And for the actual proces, Keith Krause know something about that...

KEITH WHERE ARE YOU!!!

Marco, with the K&N's and pipe, you'll need to buy a jet kit. Or did you know that already?
