Phil, me hopes you are going to use his 3 stage oil pump, yes? jcbpa here on forum just sprung for one of those on my recommendation.

 

You just drug yourself into the debate by your own volition, Phil...again. I would suggest that a 41° intake close your low-end will suffer with the TR525's when installed in a stock motor. If you dispute this, please explain why.

 

There isn't much debate, really, just some shouts from a few reliable drive-by detractors. The 255's fit a niche and their strengths and weaknesses are well-established. If they fit your riding style they will be a great choice.

 

You can do it. I just finished mine and it wasn't too hard. I would recommend you get the inner bearing removal/install tool if your going to replace them. Though with only 600 miles on your bike I'm not too sure that's necessary, I'll let real mechanics answer that one. Just take your time and it's not to hard. If you already have the exaust off that's the hardest part of this change.

George.

 

 

Reading cam threads is like listening to running water. If you read enough of them, you are convinced that changing your cams is the thing to do. As for listening to running water, it just makes you wanna pee.

 

Confucious? or Jim?

 

Yes sir!

I have one and actually already ran it some. That is a really sweet pump. It does require the crank to have low runout (I don't recall exact #), due to internal tolerances.

 

Should I replace the cam bearings with only 600 miles? For what they cost it is not about the money, is there a better quality aftermarket bearing or are the stock ones OK. I keep reading about these Torrington B168 bearings, are these stock or aftermarket?

 

I guess winter really has set in.......
