kent cams?

Post by gavinfdavies »

has anyone tried the profile from Kent Cams for the zxr?

if not, what cams would people recommend? oh, and at some point i'm planning a 444cc overbore.

(and what does "FFS" mean on the smilies panel on the right?!)

Gav

Edit: Speaking of which, anyone tried the +3mm overbore to get 444cc? I've seen the kit on tts performance, bout £600. Thoughts?
I do 700 miles a week in all weathers including snow, that's roughly 35,000 miles a year, and some weekend warrior biker has the nerve to get out of his Audi at work to tell me to I was riding far too fast in the wet (over taking at 50... fast eh?).

:ffs

means............... for **** sake
the little stars replace a four letter word begining in f and ending in k that looks a little like a certain designer label

I believe it's an expression of frustration for whatever reason

never used Kent cams......................and 3mm oversize is not legal for racing so I've not ever considered it

i've seen these SP cams mentioned alot, i assume SP isn't a brand, it refers to pinching the cams of an SP version on the zxr?
