Good music. So, this would be what's called a single pin crank, where both pistons are attached to the same pin, right? I understand there are also dual pin cranks such as exist in the Honda VTX 1800. Your animation shows the pistons firing just slightly apart. I would have expected them to fire directly opposite of each other for engine balance, but now that I see they are on the same pin, that would not be possible. Is there an advantage, or disadvantage, to a single vs a dual either way?
@@devenreal well owning something isnt knowing something about them.. if you dont know what a patato sound is you sure need more history in motorcycles, and especially their engines.
@@ClosestNearUtopia It seems like you don’t have the slightest concept of what it really means to own something because when you do you understand everything about them service them and use them. There is no sound a potato makes it’s simply one strange person’s concept of hearing the actual sound its actually a pop and Varys on the muffler
@@ClosestNearUtopia You’re the one that needs to look up the history and the engines to understand what it means when timing and exhaust ports are involved
Tried and true design that had been stolen from Indian Motor Co in the past it’s a great design and is iconic nowadays it’s why they have been perfecting it ever since.
Not everything has to be perfect all the time. Just enjoy some things. If you want a perfect machine, go drive a toyota corolla, my friend, no one is forcing you.
@@Alpi-yn5jk Toyota is not a perfect machine they have been getting cheaper and cheaper since the 90s With horrible recalls. If you ever have the chance to ride in Rolls Royce then you will finally understand perfection.

Fort nine did a much better vid on the vee that answers your question.
Interestingly, yes, the VTX 1800 is dual pin, but it’s little brother the VTX 1300 is a single pin, so the two have fairly different sounds.
@@joelmacdonald6994 Yep. I own both!
@@crupert23225 right on! Both are among my favourite rides. From one biker to another, keep the shiny side up. 👍
Maybe incorporate the valves too.
Yes, but it is not the subjet of that animation.
Curious: If both cylinders are at exactly 45 degrees, shouldn't both of them be going down at the same time (and distance) from the top?
No they are both connected to one singular pin. As it would seem logically yes it should but the way Harleys are designed it cannot
Nice! Programm.
Sounds more like Pop Pop Idk what this potato sound is you speak of.
Lolol if you dont you probably dont know anything of motorcycles.
@@ClosestNearUtopia probably that’s why I have 2.

This is Harley's stupid dirtbag design that they won't go away from it's away from hopefully someday let's all pray for them

@@Alpi-yn5jk I would much rather drive a Jaguar and be happy then be depressed in a economical basic Toyota Corolla

@@devenreal dude i just said toyota corolla as an example :D
... WHAT A WASTE OF TIME.
