shop work

[05RK1]

I'm getting ready to put my bike in the shop to have the problems valve seals changed. I'm also comcidering a cam upgrade while they're in there. Im thinking se203 as there is no other work required to achieve this.  Will this help with the loss of power that seems to common with a touring 88.  Also should I wait to change all my fluids until after this work is done?  I already have the stage 1 se air cleaner, se bolt on pipes and a power commander.  2005 rk 4500 miles

thanks guys

It will give it a little more low end pep.  I have a 203 & like it.  Depends on what you want.

Great, that's what I'm looking for.  Say in 3rd gear running about 35 when you roll on the throttle it sorta hesitates and that is what I want to eliminate.

Thanks

If your doing the cams , you may as well do the tensioners all well.
Ok at least be prepared for the possability of needing to replace them that is.
Then maybe some adjutable pushrods then maybe you might wanna consider the 95 inch upgrade, oh Im sorry what was I thinking
Do the cams and be prepared for a phone call.

"it sorta hesitates" I would want to verify this isn't a real problem before doing any engine work.

I like the Wood 6.  Seems to work the best for me as a bolt in cam.
