Cams and Warranty ??
I'm seriously considering having the Andrews 57H cam set installed in my 2014 BO which has just over 5000 mi on it and has been in my possession for just over 1 year. I am assured this will adversely affect my warranty.
My question for the experienced guys here is: Am I being over reckless in this decision ? Should I definitely wait another year until my warranty has expired before replacing cams, or is 5000 trouble free miles without issue reasonably sufficient to judge the motor is likely to remain sound and trouble free for another year (ie warranty expiry) ?
I quite understand this is a judgement call that could backfire regardless of anyone's advice or opinion but at this point I'm just trying to get a feel for the degree of risk I'm taking.
Thanx

Talked to my dealer just four days ago about a cam upgrade. They told me that if I don't wanna lose warranty I should go with SE cams and not aftermarket parts.

I will say that with just a Stage 1 & Tune that my bike runs really well and for me I'm just not sure about the cost for more HP that I will not use 90 percent of the time, I mean is it really worth it to me. I don't hotrod my bike.

Thing is, it doesn't appear that an upgrade to the SE 255 makes much sense for the later 103's as their cam is virtually the same as a 255 anyway. The Andrews 57H is significantly different which is why I'm interested in it. I'm not up for spending $$ for little apparent change just to protect the warranty. I'm better off leaving things as they are.
In the States they have a law, (I believe), which places an onus on the OEM to show a problem is in fact related to the modification in order to deny a warranty claim related to it. That would, of course, not apply in Canada.

I was browsing some SE parts in HD Bangkok a couple of years back and ALL the boxes had a Warranty Void if Fitted sticker on them and it was a HD USA sticker.

S&S MR103 cam put good numbers on cdonis Breakout, glad you shared the info on those cams. A lot of folks been wondering about them. I wonder how the HP103's would dyno. You really got me thinking cams again cdonis, I've seen others spend and do a lot more for little or no more than what you got in return.
