As some of us found out, 01-03 ZX9 R cams cant be used because of the "missing" cam sensor "actuator" on the exhaust cam. Since I had a set of 01's laying around and a couple of spare Z cams I decided to try a conversion. Turns out it was very easy.
when you remove the 6mm screw from the Z's actuator, the "button and pin are loosely set in the end of the cam. The pin can be removed by gently tapping the cam upside down on something soft (wood). Once the pin is out, the button falls right out.
On the 9's cam, you must remove the expansion plug from its end. I just drilled a hole in it and pryed it out.
A hole must be drilled in the 9s cam. The specs are: Drill a #24 hole on the back of the lobe .370" from the end of the cam .900" deep. Go back with a 4mm ream to make the hole smooth and true. Then assemble, thats it. The force of the 6mm screw being tight holds the pin from falling out. Use locktite on the 6mm screw.
I know to most this is useless information, but now we can use 98 to 03 cams instead of just 98 - 99's.:blah:
