Lets Talk Cams

[IMFASTTOO]

Nev has what he calls drop in street cams (which are the ones Maly has I think) that don't need the hi comp pistons as well as the higher performance ones that require hi comp pistons

Carpenter has several drop in cams and numerous engine combos to choose from

Unfortunately, already itching for more

Well you know its all in you head now..... Hahaha

I have Nevs cams etc and hi comp pistons ready to intstall...... Just waiting for $$$$$ for the install job. Here i come Fred at Procycle Dyno.

Big plus if you buy your bits from Lushy you get that cute 'Made in Australia' kangaroo sticker ... classy

And most importantly, it is not designed to live beyond 30,000 miles. Most don't make it that far before hitting the salvage yard. Most R3 owners would be less than impressed if their cruiser consumed itself by 30,000 miles.

No idea where you get this rubbish from! Those motors are known for longevity. I owned two of them before the Rocket and they both went higher miles than I now have on my Rocket before needing anything done internally. The first one needing only a starter sprag in the 13 years I rode it.

YES RUBBISH IT IS

Not at all rubbish! Certainly they can run longer than 30,000 miles if ridden like a cruiser. However, the US Dept of Transportation keeps statistics on all types of motor vehicles' life expectancy based on OEM data and state motor vehicle registration records. OEM engineers design to meet specific life cycle goals for emissions, warrantee and profit. I suggest a little research.

I am not bashing any Triumph sport bike nor any other OEM. What I can say is that rpm, piston velocity and cylinder pressure directly affect longevity. Use it hard and you use it up faster! Smaller motors work harder to make the same power at the rear wheel. End of story.

RUBBISH SPEEDY not 30k miles your kidding of course

 

[Claviger]

Sorry, statistics might show most bikes are binned well below 30k, that doesn't mean the motor is designed to not last beyond 30k. Try checking the Daytona 955i forums, an even more highly strung and smaller motor. There a TON of them with high miles still running well, and in fact many don't need even a valve adjustment at 30k.

Just sayin, your info on cams, much appreciated, but remember the Sprint bikes are 95% identical internally tp the rest of the 1050 family and are known to go way over 100k miles as the norm. Searching through a ton of posts, I found only one person who had serious failure, all 3 pistons/rings bad at 39k miles, the fact that all 3 failed in a motor known to go high mileage indicates failure during machining/assembly of part originally or the owner did something stupid.

I have had Neville lush's cams fitted and love the torque curve nice and flat it just keeps pulling

Thanks for posting this as I am saving these dyno sheets for reference.
