HP Products cam-de-greeing kit

Most riders never even consider setting the camshaft timing on their motorcycle unless they are installing a different camshaft. And that’s too bad, because there could be a few more horses available with the cam timing spot-on. Dale Walker’s Holeshot Performance Products (311 Chestnut St., Santa Cruz, CA 95060; 408/4273625) has a kit that takes the mystery out of setting camshaft timing. The kit includes a 1-inch dial indicator, an extension, a magnetic base, a degree wheel and three sizes of positive stops. A video shows every step of the procedure for those who are inexperienced. Packaged in a foam-lined, hard-plastic storage case, the kit sells for $239 at dealers or directly from Holeshot Performance Products.
