From my experience with the 447 XS650 cam timing ....if the cam is advanced even a degree or especially 2 or even worse more than 2 beyond the factory specs the engine will be forced into artificial leanness where the cylinders don't fill completely because of the early closing event of the intake valves and the problem is especially noticeable at lower rpms...(these cams are already advanced to the "absolute" maximum and if advanced it becomes totally """un tunable""" although it will run but will appear lean even if the fuel is dumped to it...and especially at the lower rpms as I mentioned before.....this one I now from experience....).....a bit retarded moves the power band upward and can result in some loss of lower rpm torque.......never felt the need to experiment with retarded cams in these because I am not a rpm freak with these old pressed crank engines....... as the cam chain stretches these become slightly more retarded anyway.........
search 650 garage for the fine details on decreeing ....and maybe some other sites to
and as close to the wall that I have found the the advance on the stock cams to be it may be of some benefit to some to move the stock cams in the direction of retard instead of just dumping the fuel to them....or buying super expensive aftermarket cams with higher lift and adding heavy springs that just beat the engine to death and sound like marbles in a trash can .. Question .......
and on top of that I would bet that these are advanced just a degree or so too much anyway.......and even stokers could benefit from a tiny tad of retard especially at lower rpm's to negate artificial leanness which makes them run hot and harder to tune...and lean down there..instead of just adding fuel to wash out the rings and cylinders......[b] | [/quote]
