Camshaft Kit - Easy Start - 551 Gear Drive - Big Twin '99-'06
Enhance your Harley-Davidson Big Twin motorcycle with the S&S CYCLE Camshaft Kit - Easy Start, designed specifically for models from 1999 to 2006. This kit features a innovative compression release mechanism that allows for effortless engine start by temporarily reducing crank compression during startup. Once the engine reaches higher RPMs, the centrifugal retraction of the compression release lobes ensures that the engine runs normally with full compression, maintaining optimal performance and power output.
This camshaft kit is optimized for 88", 96", and 103" to 106" Touring bikes equipped with slip-on mufflers and compression ratios ranging from 9.0:1 to 9.0:9.0. It is a bolt-in upgrade compatible with stock or mildly modified touring models, providing a significant improvement in low-end and midrange torque. The kit delivers its strongest performance from idle to 4000 RPM, making it ideal for riders seeking increased responsiveness and acceleration on the road.
Included in the package are high-quality camshafts, a gearcover gasket, bearings, retaining ring, O-ring, thread lock, and comprehensive installation instructions. Manufactured in the USA, this product ensures durability and reliability. It is essential for the installer to verify coil bind, valve-to-valve clearance, and valve-to-piston clearance before installation to avoid potential engine issues. Not recommended for engines with compression ratios of 10.0:1 or higher or models with OEM compression releases. This kit can be used with stock pushrods, lifters, and springs unless specified otherwise, providing a straightforward upgrade path for your touring motorcycle.
