Ive been banging on for ages about cam timing and the gains that can be had just do not go 109/110 :-( , also well worth looking at velocity stacks the rotax can be sensitive to them .......Damn makes me almost want an RSV again.

Looks impressive, almost too much so given the mods.
Would be interested to see the same mods on several bikes over several dyno's just to eliminate possibility for the optimistic Dyno's that some seem to have.

You defo need back to back runs on a sealed dyno to ensure a baseline and consistant results but they will only be consistant for that dyno. I agree with Colin some dyno's are very optamistic even opportunistic !!.

slotted cam sprockets are the way forward...aprilia knew this when they built the SP LIMITED EDITION....see pic and the elongated holes on the sprockets
![]() now compare with standard rsv

Oh yes, do they have angle markets on them as well? Just to help setup? |

There are several things that you need to be aware of (not scary just an awareness).
The Gen1 engines have the cam lobes pressed onto the cam shaft , at high rpm downshifts they can "walk" with catastrophic results.
Weld them up or replace both In and Ex with 2005 inlet ones - they are solid and you will gain a little hp up high as a result.
As Mark says you absolutely must use a degree wheel and repeat the results several times - this is the laborious bit but needs to be done.
Personally I would not go above maybe 108/109 (I did and paid the price by lifting the cam carrier in the head )
I would say that chasing cam timimg would be the last thing on the chasing power list but with a possible 8bhp or more (if posts on AF1 are anything to go by) and you have a patient mate and a weekend to spare then do it.

The other great thing about cam timing is that is a relatively cost free mod if you do the work yourself.
As a start it's worth just making sure the timing is near or at oem spec as plenty are not as Micah etc found out when they first starting slotting the cams.

Mmm I'm at 110/110 with mine , I wouldn't read too much into those dyno numbers , unless you put several rsv onto the same dyno to get an average of what bikes are making what , dynojet are well known for their optimistic readings and can be manipulated to show even more power , fuchs dyno are pretty close to real term figures , the dyno they use at af1 reads low , maybe someone should sort a dyno day in the uk some time . |

The Favaretti ones? Seems a shame to hide them under the tank. Very pretty piece of kit. Has anyone had a go at variable length on a servo or something yet? |

If your interested in buying the favaretti kit you better sell a kidney or rob a bank, they wanted €700 for the ti clutch plates a few years ago.

Oh I know. Far from good value on bang for buck. I also wouldn't be to keen on drilling a hole in my airbox for the pneumatic ram. At least, looking at them I'd guess you need to. I'd like an electric set linked to an rpm sensor outside the box. Then there would just be a wire to route via the drain or wherever. And at a sensible non Favaretti price.

Are you lot using fixed stacks already?
Any benefit? |

All the twins used fixed stacks. Variable length only came in with the RSV4. The question with the twins is long or short. Long helping with midrange but losing top and short being the other way round. Variable length should be best of both worlds.

How are they setup if retro fitted? Rolling road time I assume? And on Gen1 and 2 there's no functionality within the ECU to provide feedback control or engine mapping which I presume the RSV4 does? Or is it a separate module that controls the movement, just depending on engine revs or something? Sounds quite a job for someone ! |

Well the Favoretti stacks use a separate module which takes it's actuation from the intake flapper valve on the gen2. Not aware of a gen1 version. On a gen1 it would need a control module taking a feed from rpm. How you would do that is beyond my engineering knowhow. No rolling road required as it would actuate at a set point in the rev range. Though a dyno session to see how effective it is would be useful. |

I suppose if you actually managed to get it all working, you could have a variable map to match your riding style. Obviously on the road you wouldn't want it set up for maximum power, more maximum torque. This is a bit like Hondas VTech technology offering an almost split personality of an engine, in terms of max torque low revs, and max power above say 4k rpm. Obviously I could be talking a load of bollox 😳 |

It's basically a way of creating a smoother torque curve. Fine tuning rather than massive differences. Commonplace on sportsbikes these days.

Gabro had the faveratti ones and then sold them , if they were worth much power he would have kept them for sure , or maybe I'm wrong
