S&S, Easy Start 551 (CD) chain-driven camshaft set

.550" valve lift. CD = Chain drive camshaft, complete kit with gasket and bearings.
Torque for stock 96" Touring bikes. The most powerful cam from idle to 4000 RPM for 96" to 106" engines. Not recommended for compression ratios of 10:1 or higher.
The Easy Start camshafts make starting easier by reducing the build-up of compression pressure in the cylinders during starting. This is achieved by slightly lifting the exhaust valve off its seat, by means of a spring-loaded compression release lobe inside the camshaft. After starting, the compression release lobe retracts through centrifugal force. The only difference is during starting, as you will now be able to start your Big Inch engine electrically with no effort, without the need for large batteries and/or starter motors. A standard starter motor and battery are sufficient. When the engine is running, the camshafts operate as normal cams, with no loss of power, torque or anything else.
Note: Only the 551, 570, 583, 585, HP103 and MR103 series camshafts are direct bolt-in; the others may require clearancing and need high lift valve springs.
Note: Not compatible with kick-start models.
Note: Only camshafts manufactured before January 2010 will require adjustable pushrods.
Note: Below 900 RPM a clicking sound may be heard. Adjust the idle speed to 1000-1100 RPM.
