I wonder how much of a power gain the new S/M would get with a pair of *STOCK* 790 cams? And to think they did the same miserable thing to the poor scrambler, which SHOULD have had the Thruxton engine.
The only thing I can think of that would justify this is that they might have been trying to get the same emissions effect as an automotive exhaust gas recirculation system.
We did consider going a similar route but the price of modifying or even replacing Triumph cams with similar Triumph items have made us decide otherwise. I suspect a noticeable improvement with some minor irregularities in the torque curve would be the outcome, I couldn`t say accurately though without some actual testing.
And yes, what were they thinking of putting the 270 in the Scrambler?, Steve McQueen will be turning in his grave now they are associating him with it. I cant believe they have done that - some camshafts and a pipe with your Scrambler sir? www.Thunderbike.co.nz coming soon.....
