1150 cams in an 1100

[RJ]

I'm thinking about installing 1150 cams in my '821100E. I understand that they are hotter than the 1100 cams, but that there may be an issue with running my tach which could be a deal breaker. Has anyone done this swap and made the tach work?

The 1150 has an electronic tach so the cams do not have the gear teeth to drive the tach cable found on the 1100.

Other than that, no problem.

I was thinking of exchanging the stock cams for 1150 ones, since my Katana already has an electronic tacho as stock this would not pose a problem. What would the 1150 cams do in terms of performance and shifting of the torque curve? I have stage III, K&N pods and Yoshimura 4-1 and have 99 rwhp currently.

I used GS1150 cams in a Super Gas motor I had in '93. Lift was about .030" greater than the stock 1100 cams when measured at the cam lobe. Motor used 1150 carbs as well. Was very docile, easy to ride and smooth.

Cams were a nice and inexpensive HP increase; didn't use a tach so loss of it wasn't an issue.
