CG250 Performance Cam Installation.

I will try to keep this as short as possible, especially considering many of you have probably read my main build thread, so for the sake of non-repeat I will be brief.

As many of you know the CG250 is a venerable bulletproof motor that makes great grunt power in the low and mid range, but lacks a bit of "go" and becomes short of breath once you ask it to do anything over 7000RPM.

In my quest to improve the performance of said motor, like a few others here, I ported my head, added a bigger carburetor, done all of the typical mods, and while they all made the bike very strong, it still suffers from that anemic top end.

The only solution to get a highway capable bike was to gear up almost to the point of being impractical for off road use, which does defeat the purpose of having a dual sport motorcycle. So began my search to stretch the top end, which eventually lead me to the WGK Camshaft being installed in the video below.

One thing I think that some people are mistaken about is how I am trying to build this motor. I don't want a race engine. I want a powerful but balanced street and trail capable engine with a solid power curve.

For details on the cam and how to order one for yourself, I will provide a link to my post on that exact information here: http://www.chinariders.net/showpost....&postcount=221


As for the video, I have finally reached the subscriber count to be able to monetize my videos, so I have done so. My main goal is to hopefully make a little extra money in order to help buy some better recording and editing equipment and software so I can in turn make better videos in the future. I doubt I will make very much, but hey, it's worth a try. Who knows, maybe I can even wrangle another bike to work on out of it too.

Also, be warned, this is a 47 minute video, and that is after I intentionally tried to make it short. There will be a second part for the riding an impressions here soon.
