    @Aparajith and Joel: Can you tell me if the high lift cams are milled from scratch, or the existing ones? Also, what other adjustments are made to match the counterparts for the cams' increased duration? Valve timings?

      ^The camshaft is ground from a casted core. No reweld and regrind was done in this case.

        Okk. Can you also tell how is the duartion calculated? I am sure it isn't hit-n-trial.

            Navnish bike felt alot more torquey than a stock R15 when I last rode it. Different behavior altogether.
            Yeah, 0-100 on a video I think is doable! Will try it... This bike will not be torquey like Navnish's, but will be a lot more free-revving and will also rev faster with an intoxicating speed and exhaust note. How I wish this bike did not have a rev-limiter like the RTR.... Joel, can u help me on that front?

            Change it asap!
            I fear I might be a victim. Will surely change it in 2 - 3 days before u hit Chennai with a gun....

              Yep, mine is the third. Navnish has a 165-cc setup, I have a hi-lift cam setup and Joel has both and more than that too!!
              he he... You sure only 3 bikes out of Joel's OT ?

                    Wow. Another one! I've been constantly mystified of the same question Diffuser asked. How do you recalibrate the stock ignition timing for the new camshaft? Don't answer if its one of your Intel Inside....
                    You get the point?? :D

                              Joel, I think u can point that gun of urs at Navnish now. I changed oil today, stuffed more glass wool and silenced the bike further. Checked the radiator fluid and all and gave a through checkup. I searched all over for the air filter and am still to find them! Buggers here say its ben around a month since they got the air filter spares.....

                              Navnish, where ru? I have a shoot at sight order waiting for u!
