Engine/Drivetrain
- VTX engine is a 1312cc liquid-cooled 52° V-twin that delivers strong low-end and mid-range torque, with ample power for passing and relaxed cruising. - Powerplant design features a single-pin crankshaft to accentuate the VTX engine's character. Dual two-axis primary counterbalancers minimize harsh engine vibration without eliminating the powerful pulse feeling transmitted by the VTX's traditional V-twin design. - The engine mounting system uses carefully matched hangers to eliminate unwanted vibration, while preserving the powerful character of the V-twin engine. - Each three-valve cylinder head features two 31mm intake valves and a large 40mm exhaust valve to produce optimum flow for the incoming air/fuel charge. - Simple-to-service screw-and-locknut valve clearance adjusters. - Single 38mm constant-velocity carburetor offers crisp throttle response at all engine speeds. - Electronic control unit (ECU) provides 3-D ignition maps for each cylinder, creating ideal spark advance settings for superb rideability. - Coolant-heated carburetor improves rideability and ensures smooth operation in cold conditions. - Two spark plugs per cylinder for efficient combustion at all engine speeds. - A unique dry-sump oil system utilizes a closed-crankcase design and places the oil tank inside the gearbox case. The result is a freer-revving engine for improved power, and a lower engine height, allowing optimum rider ergonomics and a low 27.0-inch seat height. - Custom chromed two-into-two exhaust system produces a deep exhaust note. - Radiator with cooling fan maintains consistent engine temperature for optimum performance and long engine life. - Maintenance-free automatic cam-chain tensioners. - Reliable electric-starter system. - Sturdy clutch utilizes a rubber clutch-center damper to ensure smooth and quiet shifting. - Five-speed transmission with carefully selected gear ratios for exciting roll-on performance. - Shaft final-drive system provides smooth, low-maintenance operation. - Driven-flange design at the final-drive gear eliminates final-drive noise and wear, and simplifies rear wheel installation.
