Weeksy,

Every little helps as they say, it should be checked, then its up to you where ya go from there, tune it for the compromise you prefer, top, middle or low range.

Some DD bikes have a distinctive exhaust note that might indicate where they are tuning wise or maybe its just the exhaust set up?

Despite the reasonably tight regs there's scope for making the best of what you've got on the bike before ya start on the rider!!

Actually, I think its the inlet snarl that gives away an advanced cam.
I've run full-race cams on my 450 single, and they had a very early opening as well as longer duration and more lift - they made it very very loud, but especially as far as inlet noise was concerned.
My race 620 certainly has that kind of difference to it compared to my old road 620 (which is now gribs mongster) as it is very noisy on wot, especially compared to the 583.
Certainly the single-can and the twin-can 620s sound quite different, so its difficult to compare them.

I did it to my 583 and it was much better, Had the 620 set up but didnt ride it before or after so couldnt comment, Look at the moto one performance website they show dyno before and after modification.

The 583 had it done and she ended up being one of the most powerful out there, so I reckon it's worth it

Changed the oil, fitted dynojet kit and.......er, thats it. Must get round to changing the belts and plugs soon!
