Yes you can buy hot cam and new valve springs for the 3TB, carb needs modification or replaced for upgrade. http://www.webcamshafts.com/mobile/m...0_sohc_4v.html

mmm... everybody seems to miss out on the fact the the raptor 660 motor is a five valve water cooled, essentailly a old XTZ660... or is it me who misunderstands your cam question...

the 5 valve cam will obviously not work with a 600 4 valve head

the current yamaha/minarelli 660 water cooled four valve motor is not used in yamaha's raptor, only in the italian assembled XT660R/Z and MT-03.
But i dont think the cam would work at all on an air cooled.



your best bet for tuning parts in europe is KEDO

Whats this about 660 something not fitting the 600 something?
Anythings possible


As for the cam , I'm 85% sure it will fit (I have one coming to test the auto decomp setup) , the one lobe is wider on the 660 but that's a non issue . They put the fifth valve rocker "Y"-ed into one of the normal valves so there still is only four rockers, thus 4 lobes on the cam.
