Joe: Look at Uncle Larry's post count. He's averaging 2,360 posts per month since joining the forum. That can be broken down to an average of 211 posts per week, which can then be broken down to an average of 30 posts per day...approximately. That is slightly higher than 1 post per hour as an average. And you think that with that forum diligence Uncle Larry has time to amass tools that the poor OP can borrow for his first time run at a cam change? Yea right! Bwaaa ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
Sorry, Uncle Larry, couldn't resist. It's my jealousy of your retirement rearing its ugly head again! Your input is always on the positive side, to be sure.
How many miles are on the 09 now? Do you plan on using any of the old moving parts? I've done it before and didn't want to leave anything to chance so I replaced all wear parts with new; cams, inner/outer bearings, inner/outer chains, sprockets, lifters, push-rods and tubes.
the bike has 6700 miles on it now..im replacing the cam bearings and using fuel moto adjustable pushrods. I planned on reusing the cam chains and push rod tubes. Are those things necessary to change for just drop in cams? from what ive read on here seems that people just do the bearings and push rods for drop in cams

Your FM adjustable rods will come with brand new rod tubes. You probably could try and marry the old stock tubes with the new FM push rods, but no reason to. And I wouldn't attempt it without talking with FM first.
I bought the bearing installer off a member here but still looking for a puller. Thanks for all the info guys every little bit helps! I was deadset on the SE255's cause of all the awesome reviews but got a great deal on the SE254's you guys think theres a noticeable difference or should i have stuck with the 255's also heres a pic of my new to me toy bought it bone stock 3 weeks ago and been emptying the bank account steadily
