Hello,


What is the cam specs for a 2009 KX250 Monster Energy? Would a aftermarket cam be better? Where is the best place to get one?




Thanks In Advance, John

 

Only if you can ride well enough to take advantage of the power difference. I wouldn't be surprised if they were running the stock cam. Hot cams usually push the power up in the rpm and may narrow the powerband significantly.

Every good fast racer I know will tell you spend the money on suspension set up first. You have to get the power on the ground and track the terrain the best first. Then the power comes into play. A well set up bike with a stock engine will usually beat the fastest engine in a poorly set up bike. Gordon Jennings also noted in his writings, that a well tuned stock engine is always far better and will win more often than the hottest thing built if it isn't quite right. He was speaking from a road racing point of view too, where suspension is slightly less critical than on a motocrosser.

 

^+1 to the above even though it may not really answer your question. I do not have any info on the cam specs but I do agree with setting up your ride and being comfy before trying to adjust the engine to a fine limitation.
