Hey John good to talk to you this is John with the maroon Manx that was on your dyno in end of March. Here is a link to the show where they discussed quite a bit on the engine design. I think there are other shows also but I would have to go back and look. It seems like they have really done their homework and he has some very talented people in all aspects helping him with the design. I hope it is reliable when they show up for customers. Again it looks like they are putting in the time and expertise in some very detailed testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they do NOT fire at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum Moderator John@Outfront Posted May 3 Forum Moderator Share Posted May 3 guys i realize both piston move the same and are at TDC at same time but that does not mean they both "fire at the same time" as mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord of the Dunes Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Based on the sound at idle, that's what I suspected. It has that smooth idle you hear on 4 cyl street bikes. My Wildcat engine, by contrast, sounds a lot like a Harley Davidson, a much lower sounding RPM, like a thumper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far better than leaving the spindles and tires at the bottom of every hill. Can't drive it back to camp without the front tires.
