2007-2012 X-Wedge ®S&S ®X-Wedge ® Easy Start CamsAll cams for S&S X-Wedge engines feature the S&S Easy Start automatic, mechanicalcompression release. The ease of starting with the Easy Start cams, coupled withthe fact that compression ratio does not increase proportionally with displacementin X-Wedge engines, allows cams to be used with a wide range of displacements.Production cams for X-Wedge are designed to be “non-interference” cams. Thatmeans that if the valve train were to stop for any reason, there is enough valve tovalve, and valve to piston clearance to avoid engine damage from valves contactingeach other, or the piston.Recommended Applications For S&S X-Wedge Cams545 CAMS – Bolt-in cams for X-Wedge engines. These camshafts provide 10 ft./lbs. more torque than 548 cams between 1900-3300 rpm. For all displacementswith 9.5–10.0:1 compression ratio.548 Cams – Stock replacement cams for X114, X117, and X121 engines.Emissions compliance is maintained when these cams are installed. Use withstock pushrods. Non-interference.569 Cams – Bolt-in performance upgrade cams for any displacement X-Wedgeengine from 9.8:1 to 10.2:1 compression ratio. Use with stock pushrods. Thesecams are non-interference, but are not emissions compliant.618 Cams – Performance upgrade cams for any displacement X-Wedge enginefrom 9.8:1 to 10.2:1 compression ratio. The 618 cams can be installed as a bolt-in,but it is recommended that the S&S .650 lift spring kit #900-0212 be installedto increase spring force for improved high rpm valve control. The 618 cams arenot non-interference cams, and are not emissions compliant. Due to the smallerdiameter cam base circle, the X618 cams require a special, slightly longer pushrodset #930-0021, or billet aluminum rocker arm set #900-0213.Part NumbersCamshaft, Kit, 545 Easy Start (3 cams) .....................106-4444Camshaft, Kit, 548, X-Wedge® (3 cams) ....................106-0577Compression Release 548 Update Kit (2 exhaust cams) ........106-3809Camshaft, Kit, 569 Easy Start (3 cams) .....................330-0047Camshaft, Kit, 618 Easy Start (3 cams) .....................330-0074S&S® exclusive centrifugally actuated compression release holds the exhaust valve openslightly until the engine has achieved about 700 rpm. At that point, centrifugal force retractsthe compression release, allowing the exhaust valves to close completely, and the engine runsnormally. Early engines not equipped with compression release, can be updated with theCompression Release Update Kit.This dyno chart shows the improvements to the overall performance by installing the new 569 cams.Easy starting and true bolt-in performance make this cam an economical performance upgrade.Dyno ComparisonS&S® 132 X-Wedge® with S&S Tuned Induction, 58mm Throttle Body and Performance ExhaustS&S® 618 Cams with CNC Heads vs S&S® 548 Cams175150125S&S X618 Cams with CNC HeadsPeak Rear Wheel HP 120.3Peak Rear Wheel Torque 144.4S&S X548 CamsPeak Rear Wheel HP 102.3Peak Rear Wheel Torque 126.3PERFORMANCEPARTSParts forTwin Cam 96 /103 2007-2012Parts forTwin Cam 88 ®1999-2006Parts forEvolution ®1984-1999Parts forSportster ® & Buell ®1986-2012Parts forVintage Engines1926-1984Parts forX-Wedge®2007-2012Parts forVictory®, Off-road& MetricRacingProductsAny Job is easy with the right toolsS&S Cam Alignment Tools for X-Wedge®, see page 9-91007550Tools & ShopSuppliesWATCH THE S&S EASY START CAMS CRANK TEST VIDEO ATSSCYCLE.COM/MEDIA/VIDEOS.PHP2502000 30004000 50006000EngSpd RPMDealer Services& Promo ItemsCenterline Lift@TDC 3Valve Timing (open/close) 1Valve DurationCam Name IntakeExhaustIntake ExhaustValve Lift 2 Intake Exhaust Intake ExhaustOpen BTDC/Close ABDC Open BBDC/Close ATDC545 13°/39° 57°/0° 206° 237° 0.548" 116° 119° .050" .080"548 5°/55° 57°/0° 240° 237° 0.548" 115° 118.5° 0.136" 0.080"569 9°/40° 47°/17° 229° 244° 0.569" 105.5° 104.5° 0.137" 0.179"618 9°/43° 62°/23° 232° 264° 0.618" 107° 109° 0.140" 0.224"1Timing designation is a function of zero lash @ 0.053" off base circle.2Valve lift is calculated from a 1.76:1 ratio rocker arm.3TDC lift is measured at the valve and is for reference only.Warranty &Company PolicyOEM Cross ReferenceAppendix & IndexVisit us at www.sscycle.com6-11
