There's a few around ,the current round of cams I think is what's holding a few guys back from buying up all the 117/120/124 stocks available at Fuel Moto I think lolz.
Cam development is catching up to the 4V heads, each new cam seems to be a little better than the last ha ha.

Agreed! I am waiting for a cam that shows a better torque curve, especially on the left side of the chart, before I make a move to more ". Even with the 2 into 1, which I personally do not like, their numbers seem soft on the left. I'm a patient guy though and I'm sure the perfect combo for me is just around the Fuel Moto corner.

Curious, what issues did you have with the bike? Sumping? Have to say I am holding off on cams only because I’m afraid to disturb the oil pump. Lmao. It really sucks cuz I love to do things like cam changes.

I read on another thread where stumping was an issue with motor.

Thank you very much for the info. Makes perfect sense to me why you sold it.
