What is the benefit of the automatic mechanical compression release?

The automatic mechanical compression release makes starting your engine much easier. It temporarily reduces compression during cranking, saving your starter motor and battery, and requires no manual operation.

Do I need to do any headwork to install this camshaft?

No, this is a bolt-in camshaft kit, meaning it is designed to install without requiring any modification or machining of your cylinder heads.

Can I use my stock pushrods with this kit?

Yes, the stock cam base circle allows for the use of your original pushrods. However, S&S Cycle recommends their Quickee pushrods for a potentially easier installation.

About this part

Product Details

The S&S Cycle 557 Easy Start camshaft kit is specifically engineered for your 2009-2013 Harley-Davidson FLHTCUTG Tri Glide Ultra Classic. This chain drive camshaft features short duration, which translates to a significant increase in low-end torque, making your ride more responsive off the line. A key feature is the automatic mechanical compression release, which makes starting the engine remarkably easy, even with a stock starter and battery. This system has been rigorously tested, accumulating over 100,000 starts and 150,000 road miles without any reported failures of the compression release mechanism.

Installation is straightforward as this is a bolt-in camshaft kit, meaning no complex headwork is required. The stock cam base circle is maintained, allowing you to use your original pushrods, though S&S recommends their Quickee pushrods for an even simpler installation process. This kit is designed to boost your Tri Glide's performance, and for even greater gains, consider pairing it with an S&S 3 1/2" round touring muffler and S&S Power Tune Dual header system.

This kit is available in both chain drive and gear drive configurations; this is the chain drive version. It's important to note that this camshaft kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
