LTR Exhaust Cam Retard

[panici33]

Is anyone retarding the exhaust cam 5 degrees on the LTR similar to what is done on the YFZ?

Racers edge retarded mine. Few years back! And installed a hotcam intake cam! I loved it

[panici33]

I was thinking about doing it to mine while I have er open and put the Hotcam intake in. It's one tooth clockwise, right?

when they retarded mine they pulled the cam out and pressed the sproket off and rotated it 5 degrees and then pressed it back on!
And at that time I took them my hot cam intake cam that I bought from my sponser and they installed the new cam, retarded the stock exhaust cam, and dyno/tuned it and I think they chaarged me $100 maybe $150! It was very quick to! I explained to them that I live 3 hours from tucson and they made it to where there was no wait when the bike got there! I dropped it off went to the mall for an hour or so and then it was done! And I liked the power gain!

Dang that is the first I've heard of that. Do you recall the dyno results.

[Brabham 64]

I was pushing 50hp on racers edge dyno! But thatt was also with a stock piston, head, and valves, the only thing for power I did was a slip on two brothers racing pipe, mad ignition programmer, and a hotcam intake and retarded the exhaust. And of coarse remove the airbox lid! And at the time of the dyno I had two years of riding on the bike! And I was usually riding the desert for 3-4 hours daily by my house!
