Cam Replacement FAQ
My cam appears ok. Can I continue to use it?
No, we recommend you stop using Cam 1 and replace it with Cam 1A immediately

Customers are able to sign up to the cam replacement scheme once. If you have multiple Cams 1s that you would like to replace please fill out the form and use the special requirements text box to tell us how many Cam 1s you would like to replace.
Why are we replacing Cam 1?
We have received information from our customers that in rare and specific conditions, after fitment, riders may experience difficulty operating the throttle in pre-ride checks. Whether a rider experiences this issue depends on a combination of several variables, including the adjustment of the throttle cable and technique used. Many riders will never experience this issue.
How are the new parts different?
The updated cam features refinements that improve the interface between the throttle cable and throttle housing. These enhancements deliver a more precise fit and smoother operation, resulting in a more consistent throttle feel and improved overall performance on the bike.
How can I identify Cam 1 vs Cam 1A ?
You can easily identify the updated cam by the label Cam 1A. The previous version is marked Cam 1.
