Suzuki RF 900 - Installation Of GSXR Camshafts

[@PhilOsGarage]

Love the RF videos, great to see someone with the less obvious bike compared to the fireblade and ZX9R

[@karlosvulture5014]

I am lucky to have a RF, it's simply just a good reliable bike,fast enough to get in trouble with the authorities,but not insane, handles great and is responsive to hard braking etc, guess I love my bike!!

Nice one mate - I'd have panicked having to shave the ends down. Nice tip to re-grind the timing marks.

[@Adikxx]

Thanks for watching and commenting

[@hardy-xn1kq]

You are very love your RF900. Nice video. Congratulations with fire up.

[@ericcooper5867]

I've just looked up a set on ebay and it seems cheaper to buy the entire cylinder head with the camshafts (£65 posted). If i want a decent upgrade for camshafts then it's either custom or yzf750 which are rare to come by and usually in the region of 4to500 pounds. On my fzr1000 anyway and i would also need stiffer valve springs and programmable cdi. Really cheap to upgrade the rf900, cant wait to pick mine up.

[@Adikxx]

Yep, good old Soozooki, they love tinkering and you can do so much yourself.

[@DylanGSXR]

Fantastic mate 👍. Can't wait to see what you notice in gains ..

[@michaelcarvell2482]

Be interested to see how this performs if the gains are worth the work. Did you dyno it prior to doing this to see gains or see how the power spread changes ?

[@Adikxx]

Yes i have a dyno chart from few years back. If i take it to local dyno i will compare results.

[@schfiftyfive9680]

Do you have a place I can download all of your videos? You're like the shop manual in video format and I absolutely love it.

[@dimonmakas3041]

Здравствуйте уважаемый автор видео,не могли бы вы позже сделать видео ,как ведет себя мотоцикл на ходу, после данного тюнинга,за ранее спасибо вам за всю вашу работу и все ваши видео👍👍👍 и как всегда привет вам с Беларуси

[@Adikxx]

Прывітанне прыяцель так, гэта мой план. На дадзены момант у мяне не хапае вольнага часу, але ў нейкі момант я абавязкова зроблю відэа, якое паказвае, як мой мілы стары біт едзе з распредваламі Gixer :) з павагай

[@karlvanboxel561]

Just wondering why u didn’t check the ex cam alignment line with the head surface ? It’s important !

[@Adikxx]

I did.

Excellent video 👍💪🇵🇱

[@saenzmartin6169]

Very good explain .

[@zonta71]

Thanx a million. Read so much about it online and you have given us awesome info. I have the rf900 also and this is the second rf900 I have owned. Totally awesome bike. Every time I get my leg over then old girl I know she will give me some and plenty more. So test drive? I will be looking forward to the video so I join the queue of a zillion questions regarding the cam mod. I also have done the Irwin Jet kit, advancer, had the cylinder head rebuilt, Beowulf can and a very twitchy right hand. Have I said the rf900 is an awesome bike? Guess what? Its a bloody awesome bike. PS I know the purest of the RF900 world would have a fit now but I took the girls clothes off. My rf900 is naked. She looks like a real tart. Thanx once again for the video. Now to eBay. Gsx r750 95-98?

[@Adikxx]

Thanks buddy. All spes of cams are in the description box under the video. Plenty of RF related videos on this channel👍

[@rafasangi]

hello adikxx83 can this change of commands be done on my 1100w? can you tell, if I will have power gains using the gsxr 750 w engine valve command? thanks man

[@Adikxx]

Yes it could be done BUT if there were any gains they wouldn't be massive as GSXR 1100 already has fairly aggressive camshafts.

[@rafasangi]

@@Adikxx thanks for replying!! I learn a lot from your videos.

[@fsousa8145]

Hey. my gsxr 750w camshaft is written 17E on both, but the EX is written with the letter M, R and R2 and the IN is written with the letters A, the number 6 and R2. Is it really from the GSXR 750W??

[@travisdykes9135]

Love the videos. I have a 94 750 and im in the process of swapping it with a 95 900 with a six speed and im planning on using the 750head. Which cams and chain would be the best choice. Thanks for any info

[@Adikxx]

Nice project. RF900 motor with Gixer head would be sweet. GSXR 750W and GSXR 1100W camshafts will do great job, both sets have more lift and duration than RF900 camshafts. Cam chains from DID or Tourmax are good quality.

[@suzuki_rf9009]

Hello my friend you make very nice videos about the rf 900 have a question for you about though the chain of my rf900 makes very loud noises from the sprocket area it sounds like a knock on tak tak tak can you help me what can that be?

[@raynic1173]

Did you explain why you are doing this mod and what you expect the performance improvement to be?

[@ericcooper5867]

Where is the test ride? I literally pick mine up next Wednesday and have been following your video's and they've convinced me to buy one while I'm currently rebuilding my entire bike. The gearbox went and it was drinking oil and puffing smoke for a while before. An old fzr1000 exup from 1992 so it was really due a refresh in all areas. Any excuse to buy another bike my mrs say lol. Anyone know how much space there is under the seat on these bikes as i like to carry a fairly substantial tool kit, for a bike atleast and 1 or 2 250ml bottle filled with oil.

[@Adikxx]

Hi buddy, i really want to post a proper vid with some commentary to let everyone know how the engine runs but right after the cam swap it rained non stop for days and then we went on lock down for quite some time and it seems like it will continue for longer so i can't ride... I have a short vid from the day of installation but there is no commentary. I can upload it but for now and do a proper follow up when this Covid disaster gets somewhat sorted. Sorry for being slow with it.

[@ericcooper5867]

@@Adikxx I understand that as I am currently furloughed from work at the moment aswell. Pain in the arse as the weather has been really nice lately and we can't go out incase we catch and spread the plague

[@ReRockL3ak]

What year gsxr cams did you use ? I have a 95 Rf600 and am wanting to do this

[@Adikxx]

92-95. I'm not sure if there is a benefit doing this on rf600.

[@TheSilentStar]

What method did you use to machine the camshafts shorter? Doing mine this week.

[@Adikxx]

Angle grinder

[@ericcooper5867]

Do the same clearances apply to the 750 cams given they have a slightly different profile?

[@Adikxx]

Clearance in my case changed just a little but was still within the limits. I'm doing valve adjustment now, waiting for shims to arrive.

[@franksavignac2788]

Hi. my Bandit 1200 2001 may like to run the RF900 cams ?? as my CR is not 12:1 GSXR cams are maybe not my best choice ?? what you tink about it ?

[@Adikxx]

I doubt RF900 cams will fit Bandit engine. Your options for swap are oil cooled gsxr 1100 or 750

[@franksavignac2788]

@@Adikxx people are installing GSXR cams in the Bandit.. so... RF should go there..

[@Adikxx]

@@franksavignac2788 no mate. People are installing oil cooled gsxr 750 and gsxr 1100 cams in the bandit. RF is a water cooled engine.Cams in RF and water cooled gsxrs are different to oil cooled bandits and gsxrs. If you want different cams in your bandit your choice will be oild cooled gsxr 750 amd oil cooled gsxr 1100. RF900 will not work on Bandit 1200 or any other oil cooled motor

[@franksavignac2788]

@@Adikxx can i use 1991 GSXF 1100 cams in my Bandit ?

[@Adikxx]

@@franksavignac2788 Yep, those should work. Just remember that any higher lift cams in your Bandit will power upwards.You'll gain top end and mid range but loose some bottom end.

[@teddylouis]

What’s the model GSXR camshaft? 750, 1100 GSXR, year 1993/1995? Thanks and congrats for your video 👍🏻

[@Adikxx]

All in description box

[@teddylouis]

adikxx83 thanks you and good job!

[@teddylouis]

The GSXR 1100W 93/97 camshaft are compatible for the RF 900 or only GSXR 750W camchaft?

[@Adikxx]

@@teddylouis GSXR 1100 definitely has different cams then GSXR 750 as part numbers are different. Although i think if you ground the ends like i did in my video they would probably work i don't know anybody who tested those from 1100 so can't confirm for definite.

[@CoryMariano-r7f]

What years for GSX-R750W do I need to use

[@Adikxx]

Any

[@CoryMariano-r7f]

So I put 94 OEM GSX-R 750w cams and I check my timing and for some reason my bike is only running with choke the pilots are clean any idea

[@Adikxx]

@@CoryMariano-r7f it's nothing to do with camshafts. It will be fuel related problem. Most likely some issue with carbs.

[@CoryMariano-r7f]

I figured it out ur right it was not getting enough gas had to turn it out 3 turns. Thank you sorry for bugging you every time I run into an issue

[@krispoland4452]

Witam kolejny fajny materiał ale czemu od GSXR-a lepsze wałki niż RF coś dają ?

[@Adikxx]

Walki od GSXR niekoniecznie sa lepsze. Dla wielu beda "lepsze" ,ale znajda sie tacy ktorym bardziej odpowiada charakterystyka walkow z RF bo jest bardziej "stonowana ?/ przewidywalna?" To zalezy czego kto oczekuje od silnika i jego charakterystyki. Walki od GSXR maja inny "lift"(wysokosc otwarcia zaworu) oraz "duration(czas otwarcia zaworu)" co powoduje widoczna zmiane w krzywej oddawania mocy. Pod filmem sa dane do walkow z RF i GSXR wiec mozesz zobaczyc ze sie roznie znacznie. Walki z GSXR daja bardzo agresywny przyrost mocy powyzej 5 tys obr, mowiac krotko sprzet idzie ostrzej na walkach z gsxr w zakresie od 5 tys w gore. Przyrost mocy w tym zakresie jest od wyraznie wyczuwalny. Placisz za to delikatna strata momentu obrotowego w zakresie ponizej 5 tys. Gra jest jednak warta swieczki bo strata "dolu" jest ledwo wyczuwalna a przyrost w srednim i wysokim zakresie jest miodzio :)

Właśnie co do gsx6000f 1996 mam pytanie bo mam juz podtarte krzywki, moge z czegoś dopasować wałki bo jak nie to bedą musialy zostac napawane za jakis czas, pewnie razem z wymiana łańcucha rozrządu.

[@jimtoone1777]

Unless the cams are free, this is a total waste of time and money for a non noticable change in performance without the jet kit and exhaust and the tiny amount of power you may of gained is all up the top end so you won't even use the power for everyday and let's not forget to disconnect the pink wire. The pink wire is the best performance mod on an rf900. It's free and is guaranteed real actual free horsepower.

[@Adikxx]

Sorry chap but what you say is TOTALLY wrong. Difference in power delivery is VERY NOTICEABLE after cams swap. Secondly this isn't just top end power..with those cams RF's engine gets rapid from 5k rpm till red line so you gain midrange and top end. Thirdly this will bring results without mods to carbs. So lots of WRONG stuff said chap.. Finally - pink wire does nothing on 94 models(possibly 95 too) so your recommendation will make sense on later models only and quite frankly pink wire unplugging is barely noticeable change..
