I've had performance cams put on a couple of my other bikes in the past, and just wanted to hear the results of putting a sporting cam on the Scrambler? Anyone?
Has Anyone Mounted Up A Raisch Racing Cam?

How much of a performance lift are you expecting from the performance cam?

Well, that's why I asked the question, because I don't know. My experience on my Victory Vision was great, with a verified dyno run of 14 more hp and a decent increase in torque. It made that big, heavy bike much more fun to ride. I'd guess a good cam would make the Scrambler feel like riding my old Buell Ulysses; it was about the same weight, but put out 114 hp.
In cars I recall there were different types of performance cams from what was called stage 1 to racing. I'm thinking there might be similar for motorcycles. Have you inquired from the manufacturer?

Yes Sir, but so far crickets. But then again it's a German website so maybe Google butchered the translation!
Possible. LoL.

Looking into this mod a bit more and found a dyno run with the tec bike parts performance camshaft. Stock, the Scrambler 1200 puts out a max 89 hp at over 6000 rpm. With the performance camshaft it puts out a respectable 11 hp increase. Unfortunately buyers have reported that their dealers cannot install their new camshafts because engine gaskets cannot be had due to supply chain issues.
Supply issues seem to pop up everywhere at the moment.

Hi Bob, you got proper translation. As a German I can tell that Raisch doesn't give information for camshaft alone. The benefit depends on the other modifications one does to the bike (mapping and so on). Raisch is a very reliable brand and they do dyno test for their tuning kits but I found no kit for the Scrambler.
