I understand why he said it. I've read some of his post and yes it's unfortunate he's ran into so many issues. I'm fully aware but yet I've still made the decision to do the work. I didn't ask the question about whether or not to keep the warranty, my question was about the motor and cams. I appreciate his suggestion but it wasn't necessary.
I just wanted to help a guy out not knowing for sure how familiar he might be with how many others have run into warranty claim issues with the M8. I’m not one to tell others how or what they should do with their new bikes. I share my experiences and others can use the info or not based on their own mechanical skills or the size of their bank account. Its only money and time.
That being said its really not about my experience alone. If you saw the # of PMs I’ve received from others regarding sumping vs warranty claims you would better understand that I was trying help. I was not trying to diminish your enthusiasm for the changes you want to make to your M8 engine. Just confirming your understanding of the known issues. Sounds like you’re going into your mods with eyes wide open, which is a good thing.
For the record, the Woods cams are great. I run the TW408-6 in my other bike. If I were upgrading a stage III/IV M8 cam and didn’t care about about warranty, I would definitely be installing the WM8-408 cam - ripping torque with terrific lift for high end hp on a strong breathing engine.
I sincerely wish you good luck and that your upgrades go exactly as planned.
