Hi everyone, Been a member for a while but thought I would make it legitimate, in the "Inn". Sorry, but I do not own a VTR FireStorm, I have it's big sister, a 99 carbed Varadero & I joined the forum because of the wealth of knowledge & information availabe from you guys about the ...

Hi, Thanks for all the help & information guys, really appreciate it. I have also been reading the "porting" threads on "The unofficial SuperHawk" forum, trying to gain as much info an I can before I plunge the burr into anything! As I have not got the heads at the moment, I ...

Hi, Just purchased a set of VTR heads and will be overhauling them over the next month or so. Has anyone any top tips on porting the VTR heads? What have you done & has it worked? I am not looking for mega gains, only a little port cleaning. Any pictures of jobs people have done etc, might help....

Now that's a short answer. Did you manage to dial them in ok with the standard cam wheels or machine or dremmel to dial them in? Did the existing timing wheel marks work? Is there a change to power? Or torque? Sorry for all the questions but am trying to learn from people who have done it. Big thanks.

Hi,

It does state it's a VTR one, Ebay Item 331243009205

Could be a special ?????? If I had a VTR I would seriously be tempted.

BTW, How did the camshaft change go? I am looking into this myself and have been reading about your exhaust cam experiment!

Any updates will be appreciated.

Regards.

Now that hot after market bits are getting close to impossible to find or affordable if found! Has anyone measured up any ...

Hi, Has anyone any specific details on the VTR camshafts & the Varadero? Duration Inl & Exh, Valve lift Inl & Exh, Timing, Full lift Inl ATDC & Exh BTDC, Lift @ TDC with clearence Inl & Exh. Just thinking one was used for top end & one for torque! If the information was out t...

Hi Roger, I have read many VTR tuning threads and your name pops up more than anyone (GURU!), many thanks for all the useful & priceless info you have shared on the forum. I am looking into the rumour that the early 97-98 VTR had a higher lift exhaust cam than the later models! Have you heard of...

Hi, everyone, first post on here! I have a Varadero which I am constantly playing with & have modified it to suit my needs. I am a believer that it's good to share knowlage good or bad & have covered most of the mods I have done on the bike on the XRV.org forum under Varadero & the name ...
