Sorry I did not explain my self clearly. It is explained in the 700 conversion post that I gave you.
It is cheaper to buy a second hand complete Raptor 700 camshaft then to buy the decompression bits & sprocket new from Yamaha, it is almost imposable to find the decompression & sprocket bits second hand.
I priced up the decompression parts with sprocket from Yamaha & they quoted me 160 pounds for the bits, I got a complete second hand Raptor cam shaft from the USA for 60 Pounds posted with all the bits for a friend who does not want them now & now own two sets, I do not need two complete Raptor 700 cam shafts, so one is up for sale.
If you buy a second hand complete raptor cam shaft you only use the decompression parts with sprocket, then fit them to a Hot Cam of your choice.
Hot Cams make 3 different Hot Cams for the Raptor 700.
Stage 1 which offers good mid range power with better power up top compared with the XT standard cam. This cam looses the least power low down.
Stage 2 hot cam offers good top end power with a loss in power low down.
Stage 3 hot cam offers all the power up top, the XT can not take full advantage of this stage 3 cam as the XT660 hits the rev limiter at 7200rpm & this cam shaft is designed to rev above 8000rpm.
Hope that clears things up for you. The 3 graphs are in the order of Stage 1, stage 2, stage 3.
