Turbo, don't fall for the trap thinking that these cams are weaker under 4,000rpm like I did. the better top end makes it seem like its weaker but thats not always so. Compare it to another similar bikes. If your cams are dialled in correctly keep going with the carby tune. Roberts advice is good. Don't forget just because my carbies work well on my bike it might not work well on yours.
Good luck
First major bike in my life was a Mach III widow maker.
My Second permanent bike 1978 Z1R (owned since Dec 1977)
My Third permanent bike is the 89 FJ12 - nice and fast
Forth bike 89 FJ12 my totally standard workhorse
81 GPZ1100 hybrid - what a bike, built to sell but I can't part with it

  Hoping to get some of the lost low end pull back with some tuning and not get into the cam swap...also,maybe move the exh cam back a little. Thanks
Pulling the exhaust cam back will help as charge is going out the exhaust at overlap with higher lobe centers.
