Default Cam change time
Does some one have a idea on how much time it's going to take for me to do a cam change in a 2000 1200S? I have all the tools and parts needed I think. I just want to know about how much time to allow.

It really depends on how quick you work. It could be a number of hours, or it could take you the better part of a weekend.

I think it's going to be kind of warm the next few days. I might wait till it turns off to cold to ride. Thanks I think if I start this weekend I'll make it in a day or so depends on the honey do's.
