    gs 1000 vs gs750 cams

    hello to all i am getting ready to do the top end on my 1979 gs1000 i have read on here that using 750 cams is a good mod for the 1000 but cant find any details as to why .
    i have a set of 750 cams but cant really find any info if the swap is worth it.
    any info would be appreciated

    The FSM's have the specs, but I can tell you the spec difference is minor and won't gain you much if any power.

      I heard it was a fair improvement, moves the powerband up a bit.
      Never done it so I don't know for sure. The 750 is a lot more revvy than the 850 which uses the 1000 cam.

        Chandler, did you ever complete this swap? If you did, curious about what results you got.

          It was probably a good mod back in the day when there weren't a lot of reground cams around.
          These days it's easier to find a good set of secondhand performance cams than it is to find a set of standard 750 cams in good condition.
          Personally, I wouldn't bother with 750 cams. Find a set of something equivalent to stage 2 Yosh cams and you'll get as much HP as you want for road use.

            As I understand they will make the bike rev quicker, but you lose some torque, and top speed.

            “Remember When in doubt use full throttle, It may not improve the situation ,but it will end the suspense ,
            If it isn't going to make it faster or safer it isn't worth doing
