    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Scored a set of yosh cams for my gs750, how do I put them in? Is there generally markings on the cam sprockets to look out for?
 
If they are Yoshimura cams, you NEED to degree them to make sure they are installed correctly & check to make SURE you have enough piston to valve clearance. If you aren't familiar with this process, find someone that IS or you could end up destroying your engine. Feel free to call me at 714--356-7845 if you need help. If you are in SoCal, I can help you do this install. Ray.
 
...crap. Would I have to take the entire engine/bike to a shop? Any way to figure out what degree they need to be set to etc?

I can post pics of them later today, from what I remember the only markings were POPY. Thanks for the offer, might take you up on it.

Edit: Should mention I have the head they were previously installed on, which is also ported and polished.

What bike did the head/cams come from? :-k

I have seen a few threads where you are asking "will this fit?" and are getting stuff from several different bikes.

Just trying to make sure you are not setting yourself up for a big dissappointment.
