michaelclaw Posted March 25, 2016 Share #1 Posted March 25, 2016 Hey, So i've been looking at people doing performance upgrades on their Royal Star's and Ventures and i keep seeing people mentioning swapping cams. I decided to check on the pricing of cams and i found some cams for 60 bucks each and i wanted to know what i would need to do a cam swap and for someone to confirm im looking at the correct thing to purchase, (I'm assuming i have the purchase the front and rear?) I'm looking at these cams right now assuming they are the front and rear. http://www.ebay.com/itm/yamaha-vmax-v-max-vmx1200-inlet-in-cam-camshaft-box-316-/141821708157?hash=item21053b877d:m:mTYxRqrlRI-eeQx2RN2qXRg http://www.ebay.com/itm/yamaha-vmax-v-max-vmx1200-outlet-out-cam-camshaft-box-318-/131646425781?hash=item1ea6bd0ab5:m:mXhwxfqTOnns15zKxia9OAw I'm going to have a mechanic install them most likely. Thanks hopefully someone can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelclaw Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted March 25, 2016 I believe this is the kit that he is referring to;Yamaha 96-98 royal star 1300 performance power kit w vmax camshafts adds 20 horse power to bike and will rev higher rpms. This is a kit designed by Yamaha to do this and these are all new and genuine yamaha parts. Kit includes these items : qty 2- 1fk-1218100-00 camshaft 2 (vmax) 2- 1fk-12171-00-00 camshaft 1 (vmax) 16- 36y-12114-00-00 outer valve springs 16- 36y-12113-00-00 inner valve springs 1- 4nk-82305-00-00 control unit These items total to roughly $1800 if purchased seperately. In order to install this kit you will need some (6) gaskets and a chain joint. I'll include a list of these part numbers along with the kit Personally I don't think that his carbs are big enough to make it perform properly Heres the link to the website aswell. http://m.delphiforums.com/vrider/messages/12818/39 Hopefully that helps!
