S&S 509C Chain Drive Touring Cam Kit


The 509 Touring Cam is designed as a bolt-in, high torque cam. 180 psi cranking compression, no need for compression releases. For 88 CID engines with stock compression ratio. Idle-4500 rpm.

Can be used with stock valve springs.

It's no surprise that the S&S 551 cams for Harley-Davidson bikes have become a favorite with late model riders. The only problem is that, due to the .550" lift, the 551 cams can't be installed in Twin Cam 88 engines without also installing a set of high lift valve springs. That means that the heads would have to come off just to install a cam. That's a lot of work and added expense!

Based on the success of the 551 cams, S&S has come up with 509 bolt-in torque cams that work with stock valve springs in Twin Cam 88 engines. Like the S&S 551 cams, the 509 cams are great for low and midrange torque, but the 509 cam's lower lift allows them to be bolted into stock engines with stock valve springs. That saves a lot of time and money on the installation, which makes the S&S 509 a lot more attractive to owners of older Twin Cam 88 powered bikes.

Can really feel the torque

By   on  Verified Purchaser

Put in my 2006 Electra glide ultra classic had 42K miles feels like a new bike also paired it with a dyno jet tuner. Can really feel the torque in the bike now pulling the hills here in the pacific north west.


Great cams for a little attitude upgrade

By   on  Verified Purchaser

These are great cams for low to mid range power increase, and a nice lope at idle, but needed a fuel controller (tuner) to make it work right, true duals are next.


Cams

By   on  Verified Purchaser

Questions & Answers

Ask Question

Pushrods

Can I use Stock solid pushrods with this cam ?

Yes, the 509C kit works with stock, or stock-replacement pushrods. Just be sure everything measures up appropriately!

By Tom
Answer Question

Will the 509 cam work with a stock cam plate on 2000 fxd

Will the 509 cam work with a stock cam plate on 2000 fxd

Given that the 509 cams are rather mild in terms of lift, yes - they'll work just fine with the OEM FXD Harley-Davidson cam plates.

By Tom
Answer Question

can i use this cam with a 98 inch big bore kit

Absolutely, yes. This Harley-Davidson aftermarket cam kit from S&S would be a great match for that particular big bore kit. Just be sure fuel delivery is matched so you get the best possible throttle response and power output from this cam upgrade.

By Tom
Answer Question

What's the difference between the 509G and 509C? Will the stock push rods work with the s&s 509 cams? 2002 Road King FLHR

The 509C is going to be a chain driven cam, like stock. The 509G cam will be a gear drive cam. S&S recommends using their adjustable push rods or Quickee push rods when using their cams.

By Andy
Answer Question

Can you put your new cams in without cutting the push rods. Should I put new bearings in with the new cams? Bike has 35,000 miles

Yes, you could removed the rocker box and arms in order to pull the push rods out to allow room for installation. This kit comes with new bearings for you to install as part of the job.

By Andy
Answer Question

I notice these do not have an inner cam chain. Do I have to buy a new one?

You do not need a new cam chain. You can simply reuse the cam chain with this kit.

By Andy
Answer Question

will you need to have your bike tuned for the new cams

If you would like to get the most out of the addition of those cams, I would recommend a tuner or to have your bike tuned professionally.

By Andy
Answer Question

Will these work with a 99 superglide or do I need to buy any gears

Yes, if you were to choose the 1999 Harley Davidson FXD Dyna Super Glide 509C chain drive cams from our fit guide, you'd receive the correct cams to fit your machine. There's no need to purchase any gears or special valve springs to fit this to your bike since the .509" lift works with all remaining stock valvetrain components. Everything you need in one kit!
