Sv650 cam swap - advice needed
Hi,
If you've got a carby for racing and a injection for the road, would it be possible to do a straight cam swap between them? I've heard about fitting injection inlet cams to a carby and then using the carby inlet cam as the exhaust, but not a straight swap between the different bikes. Is it possible to fit carby cams in an injection, I'm not interested in losing a few HP as it's just for commuting. I'm hoping to sit the bikes side-by-side in the garage and just do a direct swap over......and get some benefit out of the carby!! If it is possible are the benefits noticeable in the carby? Help and advice much appreciated. Thanks, Sam |

Yes, you can do both.
Bigger benefit to the Carby than the Injection, but both gain |
Re: Sv650 cam swap - advice needed
Thanks for the quick response....but I'm curious...
How can the injection benefit from doing this? I was hoping for a performance increase in the carby, but a loss of power in the injection. How can both gain? Thanks Sam |

You're best off finding a cheap set of Curvy cams on eBay as they don't hold as much value as Pointy cams for some reason... |
Re: Sv650 cam swap - advice needed
I can vouch for that:D

Basically you're just making both engines the same, but as the Pointy is slightly more powerful the change isn't as big. |

You should definitely buy a set of intake carby cams because you will need 4 of those, 2 for each bike. It will only set you back around £50. I think you use exhaust cams in the exhaust side of the pointy engine. But im not sure on that.
I can vouch for that link to the BARF forum curvy camswap guide. Its spot on, i followed to to the letter and it went smoothly. |
