Default 255 cam install

I just installed a 255 cam in my 2010 103 with the Fuel Moto Jackpot mufflers, AC and PCV. There was big difference in the loping idle compared to the stock cam when I started it up. I was surprised because of the reports on this Forum saying that many did not feel much of a difference with this cam. I used the Fuel Moto Map and ran the bike up to 5K and it was as smooth as silk. Did anybody else feel like the 255 was providing a bigger lope at lower RPM's. Of course the torque was also very noticible

Slight lope but nothing like the lope of an 88 inch motor. The 96's don't lope like the old 88's or evos etc.

I have been running the SE255 for 2 years now. I am very pleased with the results. Some lop but not much, yes it is noticeable.

With Dual exhaust all the way back I noticed a slight lope then my wife bought me the Curved Radius and has the potato lope. Noticed over my 500 mile trip even my voltage dropped a little at idle.

I've put in a couple of sets of 255 cams into friends bikes. They don't sound a whole lot different than stock cams, true duals will accentuate any idle lope.

SE211 cams have a nice sounding idle, so do 257s and 258s.

the "lope" is more pronounce when the engine is cold, when the engine is full operating temp hot almost unnoticeable

The EFI bikes don't lope like carbed bikes but they have a little lope...I have a Andrews 26H set of cams and i thought it would really change the idle but surprisingly very natural sounding until i twist the throttle...

I just saw where you were from. Snow hill! When I was a young marine I got caught doing about 90 mph down route 258 (I believe that was the route) around 3 am. This was back in 1979,! Nc State Trooper was hiding in a cornfield! Funny stuff. He was mad. They didn't like guys from the north. Lol so how is old snow hill? Still pretty place?
