Hot cam stage 1
Real easy to install if you have a manual. Get a good torque wrench, and watch a few videos. Increased bottom and mid on my LTR450. Stage 1 is great for MX, not for top end

These things make your bike fly
I put a 270 kit on my yz250f and it made a difference then i put these on and these made a bigger difference than the big bore kit did I was shocked when i rode it for the first time it makes the bike fly

Awesome cams!
I just got the intake cam installed into my 2005 z400, also a yoshimura slip-on exhaust and a k&n filter. I have seen no bottom end loss but when you hit it into the mid-range, its like a whole new machine. Definetly worth the different power curve! And not at all that hard to install and break in (just have the right tools).

If you want to get 1 cam what would add more intake or exuast?
Expert MotoSport Staff
Over 3 years ago Location: USA
for your yamaha i wouldn't suggest just changing 1 cam with an aftermarket one. If you are going to replace the cams, replace both intake and exhaust cams.
Over 3 years ago Location: Phoenix
The intake cam always has the most power gains, because of duration, lift and other factors that allow more of the fuel air mixture to enter the motor. (be careful if advancing the timing, because timing can be advanced all the way to the point of detonation)

What tuning needs to be done?
If I just install the stage one intake in my 04 rmz250 does the carb need to be rejeted and/or are there any other changes that need to be made?
Over 4 years ago Location: Avoca, PA
Hot cams inc recommends to install the intake cam if you use it for xc/trailride, both for mx type racing. Not to say you can't get both in there for trailriding, just the powercurve changes with each different cam change. When you install the intake cam alone, you will notice a better mid to top range with no bottom end loss. A better exhaust and filter should be the first thing you do before this. You don't need to but can install the cam without getting the pipe and filter and get better torque. As for rejetting, as long as its stage one its only minor adjusting.
