Felt the same results with mine and my friends Tec camshaft. Easily achieves 120, even 140+ too with even a bit of throttle left on map 1. i also feel the initial pickup has increased a bit. Also you can feel the changes when you do offroad trails. The only con is the clicky noise you said, but my mechanic has minimized it slightly than it would normally do. maybe he adjusted the timings
Glad to know you got the same results. I was mislead by other RUclips videos into thinking it’ll give a significant performance difference. Nevertheless I wouldn’t go back to stock but would love to Dyno tune it to make full use of the cam.
Bro I think it's a Tappet noise or Tensioner noise. I bet it's not TEC cam shart install cause this issue. Tappet had to be adjusted after the installation to better fit the new camshaft, please try recommend Tappet space from TEC engineering team by email.
Yes I did contact the TEC team regarding valve settings and went with whatever they recommended. Thanks for your concern but this is the TEC cam's natural noise. Other users of this cam have also reported the same in the forums so this isn't anything unusual.

@@AbhishekDaniel The OEM valves are good enough. And plus I think it's only a matter of time until the Hitchcock valves start rattling too. I mean when we bought the bike there was no valve noise either.
Thanks for taking time to really post a review that matters and not just a new product review... !!
Thank you for the support ☺️
I likes to see your videos 🙌🙌

@@AbhishekDaniel Yes, can get this done from Racedynamics, Bangalore. Will improve the performance after 3000rpm
@@ugendar Yes I'm planning to install one next month. But then again confused in doing it or saving money for the upcoming KTM ADV 😅
Like to see your video on himalayan and the mods you are doing on it. Hope one day I will be able to do as you are having fun with your motorcycle
Thank you 🙂 You’ll also be able to do the mods. Just do them one by one over a long period of time
good review, I think not worth it just because of that sound. a beautiful sounding engine is more important than 1 bhp.
I agree

Check out this guys video on valve noise. I think he has found the issue….Old School ADV Rider…How I fixed Himalayan valve noise.
Oh! I'll check it out. Thanks 🙂
It's complete valve replacement, the solution. I don't think it's required unless the noise is absolutely unbearable.
@@samcrdx8016 Yes the Hitchcock's valves takes out the noise to a great extent but I've become used to the sound now. It's not unbearable.

@@samcrdx8016 I agree. OEM is good enough. Moreover where I live, the hitchcocks products ain’t available
🤡 it's is like adding shoes to a anputee or disabled person. 18k for a 1hp difference in a bike 😂. You can do it by just adjusting your stock efi
Stock efi of models prior to 2021 ain’t adjustable 😅
