Hot Cams 09-15 KX 450 F Exhaust Camshaft - Stage 1

This Hot Cams Stage 1 exhaust camshaft is what you get when you order part number 2186-1E. It's designed specifically for the 2009-2015 Kawasaki KX 450 F, aiming to give you a noticeable bump in power without needing a complete engine overhaul. This camshaft is made in the USA and has been tested on a dyno to prove its performance gains.

The camshaft itself is CNC-machined from 8620 billet steel, which is then case hardened. This process ensures a precise fit and accurate lobe profiles, which are crucial for consistent valve timing and reliable operation. The Stage 1 grind is intended to offer a good balance, providing an estimated 5-10% power increase that's noticeable across the RPM range, especially in the mid-to-top end, making it a solid option for riders looking for improved throttle response and more power without sacrificing too much low-end grunt. Installation is straightforward, and you don't need to send in your old camshaft as a core exchange.

This camshaft is a Stage 1 grind, meaning it's designed for a broad performance improvement. Hot Cams also offers Stage 2 and Stage 3 grinds if you're looking for more aggressive power delivery focused on higher RPMs. Remember that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
