Oil Level & Setup Notes (IMPORTANT)
DO NOT OVERFILL THE OIL TANK
Proper oil level is critical for correct operation. FEULING recommends running the oil level 90–99% full when hot.
Because the Milwaukee-Eight oil pickup port is located on the right side of the engine, idling or warming the bike on the kickstand can artificially fill the engine case and skew oil tank readings.
Recommended Oil Level Procedure:
-
Check oil level when cold
-
Ride until the engine reaches operating temperature
-
Shut the bike off while upright
-
Place the bike on the kickstand and recheck oil level
-
Add or remove oil as needed
Important Installation Information (MUST READ)
This camchest kit must be installed by an experienced mechanic with access to a factory service manual and proper tools.
Before installation:
-
Measure flywheel pinion shaft runout and end play
-
Excessive runout or end play will cause damage, result in failure, and void the manufacturer’s warranty
Recommended Specifications:
-
Ideal end play: 0.003″–0.004″
-
Crankshaft runout: 0.003″ or less
-
Measure crank bearing play by lifting upward on the tip of the pinion shaft
⚠️ If runout exceeds FEULING specifications, DO NOT INSTALL the camplate or oil pump.

Got it 👍 — Yoast is being picky, so let’s feed it what it wants.
Below is a revised long description with many more transition words added (however, additionally, therefore, moreover, as a result, in addition, for example, because, consequently, while, before, after, ultimately, etc.).
Nothing technical was removed, but flow and readability are significantly improved and this version typically pushes transition word usage well above Yoast’s threshold.

Reaper 405 Camshaft Performance
At the heart of this kit is the Reaper 405 camshaft. Specifically, this camshaft produces a wide and usable powerband that increases torque and horsepower across the entire RPM range when compared to stock.
Furthermore, the Reaper 405 is designed as a direct bolt-in replacement for Milwaukee-Eight engines. Because of this, it can be used with stock valve springs, pushrods, lifters, and exhaust systems.
Additionally, this camshaft responds exceptionally well to both slip-on mufflers and complete exhaust systems when paired with a high-flow air cleaner. For best low-RPM power and throttle response, FEULING recommends free-flowing mufflers with smaller cores.

Proper oil level is critical for correct operation. For this reason, FEULING recommends running the oil level 90–99% full when hot.
However, because the Milwaukee-Eight oil pickup port is located on the right side of the engine, allowing the bike to idle or warm up on the kickstand can fill the engine case. Consequently, this may result in an inaccurate oil level reading in the tank.
Recommended Oil Level Procedure:
-
First, check the oil level when cold

Next, ride the bike until operating temperature is reached

Then, shut the bike off while it remains upright
