Hello guys, I need help here. CURRENTLY Im not understand how decompression work. :confused:

currently, im using custom racing cam without pin slot, and I planning to remove decompression assembly. If I remove decompression assembly, it will give me sound?
how if I drill my cam for pin slot(without decompression assembly) it will give me easy to start?
What actually I want is; I want to have easy start and no sound (tik tik) when remove Decompression Assembly . It is got the way?

TIA

if you remove the decomp assy in the camsprocket, thats ok.
BUT you must use your kickstarter to start your bike (unless special consideration is made to the bore & head to have a correct compression ratio)
same as what @rowan did to their fast bike.

@traxxas-modifier thanks.
but im not understand how decompression, so what im thinking now is, when I remove decomp assy it will give me a sound?(got way to stop/reduce the sound?
and one more is, if I remove decomp assy, that mean only good with cam without pin slot? pin slot cam good with decomp assy?

decompression release purpose is to release the compressed air inside the cylinder when piston is on compressed state (top) during the startup.
thats why its easy to start your bike.
if the engine rpm is less than (estimated) 1,000rpm which is the rpm of pushing estarter button,
it opens the exhaust valve slightly to release some compressed air inside the block.
thereby its easy to start.

if you remove that decomp pin in the camshaft, the valves will not open slightly during startup thus hard to start.


removing the decomp pin in the camshaft needs also to remove the decomp assy in the cam sprocket
else there will be a sound due to the decomp assy lever will go back and forth when turning.

@traxxas-modifier thank a lot,
That mean, if camshaft without pin slot, that mean decomp assy is no need anymore.
And if, camshaft with pin slot, that mean decomp assy is need.
Correct?
and there is no way to stop the sound?

If you want more power, best to remove decompin in any kind of camshaft to achieve higher rpm.
the sound has nothing to do with your decompin hanging, thats the reaction of your racing camshaft. there is no way to stop the sound if you use racing cam with or without decompin

if you really want yes you can drill the cam. but there are risk on doing that.
if its not properly drilled, theres a high chance that decomp pin will break.

but yes you can do that drill mods
