need to replace a cam in a stock motor what are some good options i see the tb cam is like 65 bucks and then i see other cams that are crazy money... anybody with experience or a dyno sheet for any of them would be great... just don't know if it would be worth me finding a stock cam to put back in for super cheap money or spend some extra money make it a little quicker. bike only has exhaust mod, snorkel removed, and jetted. bike is an 08 if it makes a diff.

TB cam would be good with more compression, like a stock bore Akunar.
is the tak k10 cam for a hyper head. i looked it up and i am seeing that in some places.
also how come no one lists the specs on any of these cams. i can't imagine a big difference from the tb to a tak cam... lift,lobe, and duration are all the same crap no matter who makes it. i am sure they pretty much are in the ball park of each other for specs.

They are all close in specs but the Takegawa Hyper cam is the biggest ( meaning most lift and duration ) production cam out there.
Most of the other cams just have a reduction in base circle where the the Hyper cam actually has more lift and duration.
The cam is limited by the valve train design. Not because the manufacture doesn't want something bigger.

I didn't say it wouldn't run.
Most people who would spend that kind of money on an engine performance part are wanting to feel a seat of the pants difference.
With a stock air box and exhaust. Just replacing the cam. You aren't gonna feel much if anything at all.... but it will run.
more lift more duration keeps valves open longer letting more air in and exhaust out, doesnt help much if you are restricting intake and exhaust kinda defeats the purpose kinda like running race gas in a stock bike that doesnt have the hi compression its pointless except to say your running race gas oh and you got a cam

with that theory how do you know that the stock cam is actually using all the air and fuel at its absolute max? the cam could actually be holding the motor back and a little bit more air in and out might help... are you certain that a cam wouldn't help with a stock airbox and drilled out exhaust?
heres a little story i bought 2 brand new 110's for me and the wife to play with, of course mine has to be reworked. hers is as stock as can be airbox and all. i put the 2 bros air filter m-6 pipe re jetted the carb and hot mods CAM! on mine. yes i will admit it does not pull on my wifes stock bike in a long stretch i do but other wise nope and thats me 200lbs and my buddy riding the wifes hes like 220 so take it for what its worth.to me it doesnt matter i have more fun saying ive got this and that and runnin around on it than anything. oh by the way i lied i forgot on the wifes the only thing i did was ream out the bushing at the header nothing done to muffler or spark arrestor.

i think you misunderstood my first post a little bit. i need to replace the cam i don't want to. make a long story short i broke a case half and while tearing the motor apart whomever put the cam sprocket bolts on at the factory must have had the impact gun set on ten million ft lbs because it wouldn't budge so in the battle the cam ended up being no good... only reason i am looking for aftermarket one is because the stock one is like 80 bucks new and no one seems to have one... the tb cam can be had for 40 bucks or so on ebay. i completely get what you saying about putting things on a bike just to say you have it and i am completely not like that. i am stilling debating on wether on want to get the flywheel lightened and get a manual clutch. no sure if the gains would be worth the money.

The YX cam is bigger than the Hyper Cam but it doesn't always fit in the KLX head. Sometimes the casting has to be clearanced to make the cam fit in the head.
He's looking for a cheap replacement cam and with the fact that the rest of the engine is stock (ie: airbox and exhaust) it wouldn't do him any good to use a YX cam.
