I have an 86 GS550ES and I want to know the cam duration and horsepower rating of my bike. Can anyone help?

The cams changed at least once from '83-'86 so the numbers in that manual will be a little off. (They became more mild after '83 or '84.) A Suzuki dealer might be able to look it up. -
First of all,
BassCliff will be along shortly with his Welcome Wagon thing, but I'll give you a sneak preview of his little website, where you can download a full factory manual. I have not taken the time to see if the information you request is in there, but it will be worth having, anyway.
Here is the cam timing diagram from the manual:
Duration appears to be 268 degrees.
Concerning horsepower: the 8-valve predecessors had 48-50 horsepower according to information found here.
I could not find anything directly for your '86 ES, but here is an advertisement for an '86 EF, which might be similar. Horsepower appears to be about 66.
