SERT Question

Ok, I just bought a 09 SG that has been upgraded with a SERT. I want to put in a pair of Wood W6-6 cams. Can I download, and if so where from, a download to the SERT to make this initially run close to correct. I assume I will need to get it tuned eventually. Money's tight so open for suggestions. Also the bike now has 5k on it, should I replace the bearings (I hear Timken (sp) is recommended). I will eventually do some head work and change pistons maybe go to a 103 or 110 when the money permits. I'm a newbie mechanic so sorry if stupid question. I was going with the SE255 cam initally, but since I plan on upgrading later, I thought the woods would be a better choice.

Can't help you with the sert questions but I'd replace the inner cam bearings with the Timkens while you are in there. The SE255 cam will do the job if you are looking for low end torque and aren't too concerned about the top end. You might be able to find a set of take outs cheap if money is tight and then resell them later on if you decide to go bigger.

I'm running the Wood TW6-6 cams in both my bikes and have been very happy with the choice. One is an 08 Ultra Classic that is stock 96 jugs and stock heads. The other I did a 103 big bore kit but left the heads stock for now.

What ends up being the best cam for you will probably depend on what else you plan to do in a build.
