I have an 08' S2R 1K and will be doing the exhaust/ECU mod this fall. I am curious to whether anyone has swapped the cams and if the performance increase is worth it? Also, thinking of doing the flywheel as well. I figure that if its going in for breath right operation that I might as well give it new lungs and a heart transplant. Not that I am unhappy with the stock power, but can never get enough.

I have the DP cams in my S2R1K. The ones I have are designed for the Hypermotard but they work in the 1000DS motors as well.

I bought them as part of the kit with the ECU and had less than favorable results using the HM DP ECU. I ended up selling the ECU and using the cams. The best part is I found the kit on Ebay for $395 and then sold the ECU for over $400 so I basically got the cams for free.

Even if I had to pay for the cams I would say it's definately worth the price of admission.

I give this mod  [thumbsup] [thumbsup]
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic and insecure delusions.

No experience with the 800, but in the 900 motors, cams & compression are TERRIFIC mods. However, there's a big difference between cams, I've used VeeTwo in the past (they make several grinds) but with the exchange rate, they've gotten pretty pricey.

He was asking about the cams for the DS motors, hence his mention of the 08 S2R1K...
