Mk3 Plastic Camshafts

Forums

Hi all,

Did all Mk3 Commandos suffer from incorrectly hardened camshafts from the factory. How long did they last before they had to be replaced?

Should I assume that any Mk3 that hasn't had a replacement camshaft is going to need one?

Thanks,

Richard

Most Mk3s are still running the factory fitted camshaft. There were some soft cams and some sub-standard after-market replacements. Ashley Cutler has some information on this subject - something to talk to him about if you decide to look at his bike.

Build quality was variable throughout the Commando's lifetime but any that are in regular use today should be ok.
