You can do that, did it on my 84 K100RT then put it back, but my 83 K100RS also has this and I decided to keep it all original.
Thing is, my 83 RS has the engineering screws but seems to make a difference. My take is the early as in 83 has the earlier camshafts and valve timing and that may be the case as it is much more aggressive to ride. I intend to do a temporary disconnection to see if it makes a difference.
I do see the RS is the most economical of all my Ks, by a long distance regularly hitting 12.5/13 miles per litre, my K100LT doing 10 miles per litre, my K1100LT doing 10-12 miles per litre and my 84 K100RT about 10/10.5 miles per litre so there is a difference from 83 to 84..
