85-86 ZL900 and 87 ZL1000 are same as Conc.
84-86 ZX900 and 86-87 ZX1000 fit, but are higher lift, top-end oriented.

Charlie, what are you up to?
Are you having Cam problems?

Ride safe, Ted

Yep, I am on a road trip, 200 miles from the house it started ticking, I thought ex. leak. 400 miles down the road it was louder. stoped in NC. and ran the valves, bad intake cam. F**k it, got about 2600 ticking miles on it now, and will ride it home!

Any one between Maine and Florida got a cheap cam and rockers ? I will pick it up !

FYI bike has 32k

I just fixed one like that 2 weeks ago, a rocker had failed and had a 1/2 moon worn into it. Bike was noisy, but still ran... Good luck on the trip - steve

Charlie, my first thought is, when you get back to Florida, get with Steve and install a set of his Torque cams.
(Or his Power cam if he still has a set)

Or, get back to us here. Someone will have cams.
Whatever you do, let us know you made it home safely!!!

Ride safe, Ted

Woohoo, Bought a coplete 900 head for 40 bucks, will pick up in TN.
Can't complain about used part prices for these bikes !

Gents:

I'm new to this list, been spending most of my Konk time on COG at micapeak.  I've had my 86 for about 20 years so I've been through most of the C-10 issues once or twice.  I don't know the players here, but just stumbled into this post while looking for ways to upgrade the C-10.

But, has anyone mentioned "cam chain tensioner" to address mach1's valve ticking?  32K could put it right in the mix as far as the C-10 goes.  It seems a little early for bad cams and apparently the C-10 cams can look really bad and it doesn't reflect in terms of performance or sound.  Whereas the old "ticking valves" issue can be solved by pushing up a tired cam chain tensioner while the engine is COLD or getting a new one . . . to take the slack out of the cam chain.  It's the idea of the easy way or the hard way, or the way that addresses the issue way . . . ??

Thanks for you response eep. I will check the chain adj.

If you like power below 5000 rpm, you're not gonna like those cams. I messed with them for years, and the connie will be slower in everyday accelleration with the zx cams. lot'sa fun over 7000 though! Steve
