Rodneysj Posted October 6, 2005 I have a Ca. model 05 CRF 250X and I've heard the Ca. bike has a different cam than the 49 state bikes. Does anyone know if this is true and if so would I feel a noticeable difference If I put in a 49 state cam? The reason I ask is I'm not sure If I want to get an aftermarket cam If I was going to lose any bottom end. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richracer1 Posted October 6, 2005 Yes, the CA model has a different cam than the 49 state bikes. It would be a cheap upgrade since the cams are about 133 from ServiceHonda.com I picked up a Hot Cam off eBay for 134 including shipping, instead of the 49 state version. The Hot Cam was designed to give the R more bottom and mid range so it benefits the X overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakecrf250x Posted October 6, 2005 Rodneysj: Call Dan Crower at crowerpower.com. I have a California bike and it comes all choked up from the factory. Dan will make that thing breathe and come alive like it should. I promise you that you won't even beleive how good it runs when you pick it up. www.crowerpower.com Good luck, -Jake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigRed8 Posted October 6, 2005 See the following site for some specifics on the CA vs 49 cam: http://www.rickramsey.net/CRF250X.htm. The 49 state cam is noticably more powerful than the CA cam. BR8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
