Edited.... Doh... Sorry..

485 quid for one from Suzuki Performance, Gulp or a pattern from Eblag, can anyone recommend a good quality one? Thats not arm and leg expenaive? Woops sorry GSF1200 Bandit 2001

Where and how do I get and fit and top end rad

It does feel like as if the more power I squeeze out of it the more the head will be pressed.. I see a A LOT of cams being sold on the bay that look as if the bearing surfaces have been cooked they are discoloured in caramel. Can't be right.

Whaaat lol

That was the impression I got, without have even taken the top end apart. I'm building with a gas flowed head Kent cams flat slides aiming for North of 150 bhp, I'm getting the idea a bigger and better oil rad would be a good idea.

Hi again everyone... Sorry for total Newbie Questions... These links between the ends of the cams, what is the purpose and do their achieve what they are supposed to?

Thanks everyone.

Been offered this combo is it worthy? Be nice if the head and Cams will give more power as is. But I also need donor cams for Kent regrind. I'd the head worth having? Is there any cam wheel compatibility issues will thee be any issues fitting it as is? Thanks as always I'm still learning how the power routes work out.

Oil failure due to high oil temperature half the cams I've seen for sale second hand are ruined on the bearing surfaces.

Looking at some doner cams a lot seemed to be cooked at the cam bearings / journals... Is this common? Thank again for all your help

Thanks... All I neef now..... Is to be able to talk to someone who can do the gas flowing.

Is it OK to get Mk2s for a regrind? I am also concerned about the journals maybe best to send mine at the appropriate time as the bead and Cams warn togetber, Opinions please... Thank you!

The cams seem to be the issue. Plenty of slingshot cams no J K Cams some expensive cams. And a note that these engines have a tendency to burn up cams a tad? I guess I'm gonna have to go Kent of Sukuki Performance Spares. Trying to get hold of Grumpy see if they can do head. Pistons JE or MTC?? Or shall I just do some pistons split the cases do some H beam rods and bolt a turbo to it... Tbh... I'm less attracted to that as I like trad DOHC carb engines.

I just found Grumpy 1260 feel like I've hit the motherload.

This is diamond info chaps. JE / MTC 1216 J/K 750 cams Gas flowed B12 Head. 38 RS Hindle 421 Headers. Dynotek Ignition Dyno sesh... Anything else before I start buying this stuff. Lol.. I do think the 3rd party cams at 325 plus pandp seems like the biggest waste of dosh if I can find JK ones?... Am I making sense.?

So any GSXR750 or 1100 oil cooled cams will give enough for 150 or so BHP in a bandit with high comp big bore standard bottom end 38 RS Flats advance wheel... I'm thinking Hindle 421 Headers. Its only the higher lift race cam profiles I need be weary of? If you could pic a Gsxr year for the cams what would it be? I'm guessing the GSXR7 and 11 cams are OK with the MTC pistons as they are designed to work together in engines with identical deck heights etc?... Thanks guys....

Possibly MTC 1216

I've got an upgraded shock and progressive springs and front fork rebuild already done on the bike by the PO. As well as a braced arm being done shortly. What year 750 head is a DOT head and do I need the cams and wheels and Ecu (and extra advance) please? I appreciate all the info it's difficult for me to gather all the facts in one point, I'm afraid I am quite dyslexic which is why I work with machines and logic for a living... Thanks!

I sold a late GSXR1000 to build it. I already have a shock and some forks on the way, as well as a braced arm already purchased. My conundrum is the clear compatibility between parts. Say I use a GSXR750 head and Cams, which year is that? I've no idea Please don't worry about the rolling chassis

Your assuming I'm not modding the brakes suspension arm forks etc... Which luckily I am

Hi All, Ive just acquired a mint Bandit for a last hurrah at tuning bikes, always wanted to do a Suzuki Oil Cooled Motor. I have put together the cash for a big bore piston set. The cams are extremely expensive, especially as the GSXR1100 makes ample power. IMHO. And may do even better with flatslides What's the best head to use what's compatible and not... Is there any reading you can point me to? For instance what about carb alignment and rubbers inlet angles?... Etc.. I've heard about dot heads but the GSXR1100 heads seem plentiful but mid models with cams are available for a few hundred quid. I don't mind recon valves cuts etc... I expect this has been done to me death, but I feel a bit at the mercy of people flogging expensive stuff that cheap stuff does just as well? Thanks everyone and hi
