My idle is set at 896 and lopes good when fully warmed up. Cold it sounds crappy like it misfires from
the rear cylinder. Still using the auto tune feature. I wish the thunder max software had a 3D timing and fuel tables instead of the 1D crap.

The early '17 M8 stock bikes were set at 850 RPM from the factory. They later changed that spec to 950 RPM, and programmed bikes when they were in for service. This was done due to some concern with oiling; maybe an attempt to scavenge more oil from the crankcase at idle in response to sumping concerns. Who really knows? I personally wouldn't run it under 900 RPM for those reasons. Want more lope? Bigger cam.

Thanks bro. That is by far the best sounding M8 that I have heard to date. I have RCX headers and 4 1/2" slip ons that I hope will sound close to that good when I am ready for a cam. At least now I know which cam I will go with.

This RS 468 cam is proving to be very versatile , very strong over a range of capacities and compression ratios , their 472 looks like it gives up a little TQ for an ability to rev a little harder. I've not seen or heard enough about the 472 to have my own thoughts on that cam
Quite an achievement the 468 cam.
Peace.

Default Wanting to install Redshift 468

I have a 2018 Deluxe that is bone stock other than V&H slash cut slip ons. I assume that an intake would be in order with this cam and was wondering if just changing to a K&N element in the stock housing would be sufficient? I’m on a tight budget. I have put FP3’s on my last three bikes and hate that they are married to the bike. Is there a better alternative? Thanks, Roy

Hey Rick what can tune did you use with that FP3 if you don’t mind me asking. I have that exact same set up on my RGS 17. I have the lope but it’s just a bit off.

I have the same parts, waiting for my (2) year warranty to be over in June of this year, then I will install everything. And just for good measure I purchased the S&S oil pump and cam plate.....
