I am looking at doing a cam swap on my Ruckus clone. What is the best street cam? I know there will be some varying answers here, and that's ok. I respect everyone's opinion. Just wanted to get a feel for what's out there and what everyone seems to like. Thanks in advance guys!

A A8 offers higher top end for scooters. Slightly less lift than the A9 cam. A A9 has best acceleration and top speed. A A10 more low end torque not for top speed. Here is a graph to help you with your choice which would suit your needs for the way you ride and the area you ride in, hilly or flat. Alleyoop

No nothing else and the A9 is your best bet. A little tip Before taking eh cam out MARK Bring it up to TDC as if your going to adjust the valves and Make a MARK on the CHAIN aligned with a tooth on the cam Then Line the same tooth on the new cam with the line on the chain that way you will not be off on the timing. Don't forget to Adjust the valves, either both at .004 inchs or you can go .005inchs on the exhaust. Alleyoop
