Cams for this engine are limited, if you keep the std injection/ecu.
Get it on bike carbs, more choice of cams, goes/sounds much better.

Kent NVO series, nothing too lairy otherwise the ecu will have a fit

simply fitting a mappable ECU with the std intake manifold will be ace with a cam

Forgot to mention,check out Autosprint, he does a pretty decent regrind for your engine.

If it were me, I'd put twin 45's on it, and a Kent AST8 solid lifter cam.

It'll be a bitch for reliability, but grunt will be mega.

And will take a bit of cleverness getting the carbs set up nicely so it passes a MoT.

But there you go, I know nothing.

Old school cams often work very well without the need to remap or cause the ECU to go lairy. Try a Kent AST2, which is a hydraulic cam, they've done other profiles since that came out (lots of other profiles), but soemtimes the old 'uns are the best.

And if you can find one, add a Blydenstein B pack head.
