how can i tell if i have a hotcams or a stock one?

[ridein'red7]

the guy told mt its a stage one and what to make sure it is and that he didnt just buy a sticker kit and the hotcams sticker came with it

[440ex. ehhh!!]

i am also wondering about this. the guy i bought mine from back in february said it was stock cam as far as he knew, and the quad has been through 4 of his friends and i would guess they raced it a bit and put some money into it. i am planning on putting a stage 2 cam in it once my flat track season is done with, but i want to make sure i have stock cam now. if not, then ill think about some other power mods instead.

Thanks
Josh

there should be a part number on the ends of the cam, i think. you could cross reference it and see what it matchs up with

1. they have numbers on the cam and usually say hot cams on there.

2. the timing chain is much noiser due to the valve clearances being greater.

got the ex in peices its almost race ready but blown up odding a 416 n he thinks says it was a hot cams but i dont think it is but i dont see hot cams on it

[CJM]

Are there any parts numbers? Ie 1043, 1051, etc? Mine had hotcams written all over the sucker.

[sc400ex_rider]

does it have the auto decompresser on it?

[ridein'red7]

all i see on the cam shaft for any kind of number or letters are in the middle there is a 7 than if you roll the cam halfway there is a c.i dont see a plunger/ decompression but than again my engine is every little peice possible
