Hot Cams 2004/06-08 400 DVX/00-04 DR-Z 400 Exhaust Camshaft - Stage 1

This is the Hot Cams Stage 1 Exhaust Camshaft, designed for the 2004-2008 Suzuki LT-Z400 DVX and the 2000-2004 Kawasaki DR-Z400. A camshaft is a critical part of your engine's valvetrain, controlling when your intake and exhaust valves open and close. Swapping to a performance camshaft like this one can change how your engine breathes, leading to improved power delivery.

Hot Cams builds these camshafts from 8620 billet steel, which is then case hardened. This process ensures a strong, well-made part with precise lobe profiles that will hold up over time. They use advanced valvetrain software during the design phase and have dyno-proven the results here in the USA. This Stage 1 profile is a good choice if you're looking for an improvement in low-end torque and overall power, with an estimated 5-10% gain, without making the engine difficult to manage. Installation is straightforward, and it doesn't require a core exchange, meaning you keep your original camshaft.

This camshaft is available in different stages, so make sure you're selecting the Stage 1 for a balance of low-end grunt and improved throttle response. It's a solid option for riders looking to get more out of their machine without a complete engine overhaul.
