Hey Jake great video, I have done a ton of valve jobs but never a cam. After this video and the carbon can delete I have decided that it would be good to give you some support on Patron because both have been super helpful to me. Also when you were talking about being 180 out a little trick I do is pull the plug and put my thumb over the plug hole as I turn to top dead center, on the compression stroke if will be enough pressure to push your thumb away and you can feel when it's coming to where you need. But thanks again for the informative video.

I wonder about compression? Great video on a complex subject! Valve clearance effects timing, more than ya might think. But a tight exhaust valve, not enough clearance, can cause a bad day! The exhaust valves require seat time, to dump heat. If valve clearance is to tight and the valve grows sufficiently to reduce clearance enough to unload the valve it will bang shortly. Again, great explanation!

For those who don’t know a couple things to keep in mind doing camshafts. If you pull out a shim make sure it’s all the way seated in it’s home, if it’s not will have no/low compression. When installing cams always start on the cam away from the tensioner. Most tensioners will lock collapsed somehow read your manual for specifics. Do not over tighten cam caps will cause a whole lot of issues. Lube is your friend. Always spin it by hand before trying to start the engine last thing you want is to kiss a valve

Jake, I like to use a micrometer rather than calipers to measure my shims, but my caliper is cheap because I am cheap. I had a guy struggling one time to measure his shims on a 636 he was working on because he was using calipers instead of a micrometer. I brought my micro over and got him steered in the right direction and got the old shims in the correct positions within the kit and the correct one installed. That was the only multiple cylinder bike I have done an adjustment on and I prefer the singles a lot more.

I definitely prefer the fatter bottom end both for off road slow speed and road accelleration. The whole point of the flexability of this engine is the smoother torque transition low to high RPM. If it was an enduro or MX bike the higher top end would make sense but then you might as well buy a lighter more powerful model. Also reving it out more to get the torque means more fuel use. The minimal fuel consumption is one of this bike greatest strenghts. Also the ecu fuel injection mapping and the spark profile is going to be optimised for the cam profiles.

15!!! don't forget! I'm about 4-5000 miles away from doing the valve clearance check on my CB500X. I believe I can do it I've basically done everything else car/truck/motorcycle related besides internal engine work or top of head work but i have watched it be done. The biggest pain I think is dealing with buying shims. I've looked at shim kits and they seem very expensive but once I have the bike apart to check everything I don't want to be waiting days for a shim. Do they usually have a lot of shims at the dealers all the time? I'm located in DFW so i feel I can find individual shims easily but like you said even after doing the math sometimes it can be a tiny bit out of spec and need to be exchanged.

Just going from 24 to 27 hp would be a 12% increase in power, which is pretty big. Like he says on low power bikes every little bit helps. With all the work he's doing and custom tune, I'd be surprised if it wasn't even a bit more. Not to mention being able to smooth stuff out when you actually do the tune; factory tunes are generally focused on efficiency and can sacrifice some rideability. If it's "worth it" that's hard to say depending on how much all that stuff matters to each individual person. I'm excited/curious to see his dyno results in the end.

I rather have a couple less horses but decent torque in the low and midrange than two more horses close to redline. After all, this is not more cc, this is just pushing the power to another area of the power band. In the street bike version you may want more power on top, but in the enduro I want more torque down low, even if it means less power on top.

If you go to my link for the cams the part numbers should be there. If ecu flashes are illegal then wouldn’t a fuel controller also be? It manipulates the ecu signals. A flashed ecu appears stock after it’s done. And plugging into it won’t pop anything up that would tell you. I highly doubt they would ever know you did that. The level of very specific equipment need is just too high.
