"Triumph 650 cam replacement"


          

Hello,

I have a 1972 650 Tiger (TR6R) and need to know if a set of T140 cams is an acceptable replacement for the originals? If not, what would be a good upgrade for street use?

I think you will find that the the T140 had the same profile inlet cam as the 650, but had a softer exhaust cam.

In short you will soften up the 650 with your proposal.

The 650 cams are quite sporty. However if you want more I would look at megacycle's offerings.
