    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

My Clymer book has a performance section , they sugget using a GS 750 intake camshaft in a GS 1000. It says it will provide more throttle response in the 6000-8000 rpm range . I was wondering if anyone has tried this setup and is it wothwhile ? I currently have my stock cams indexed at 106 degrees . This setup works o.k. but I would still like more performance . Thanks Joe
 
It was the easy mod to do years ago. You won't get a huge change, but if it is cheap may as well do it.
 
You might want to read that again. The edition I have (March 1980) Recommends changing the EXHAUST cam. Check p. 179 .
Also keep in mind that you will be moving the power peak higher in RPM.
Sounds like you have adjustable cam sprockets, so fine tuning would be no problem. Do you have access to a dyno? That would be the best way to check the results.

Happy tuning :)

Terry, your right it is the exhuast camshaft . Thanks for the correction . I wish I had access to a Dyno it sure would make things easier on performance modifications. Joe
