gettysburg Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 So I was looking up the oil requirements(API classification) and noticed the following on page 144 under Engine Design: Longitudinally mounted twelve-cylinder, four-cycle opposed-twin engine with one overhead cam each, air cooling, oil-cooled exhaust system and electronic fuel injection. Twelve Cylinder

AZgman Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Only the '07 model in silver had the 12 cylinder motor...
Albert Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 That's why I've hesitated to adjust my 48 valves until now. Thanks for clearing that up.
Bob_Minor Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 My dealer told me that page 144 was outsourced to China.
CoarsegoldKid Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Yep, that one has been there since '05! Tom I must have received the small motor cause the manual states four-stroke opposed twin. Lotta valves on a 12/twin. Maybe.
Lone_RT_rider Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 That's why I've hesitated to adjust my 48 valves until now. Thanks for clearing that up. THAT explains why the service is so danged expensive! Shawn

Lotta valves on a 12/twin. Maybe. Interesting Joe. Mine is a very early '06 so I assumed the manual had no changes from the original '05 - Thanks for the correction. Tom

VinnyR11 Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 If only the number of screws you have to remove to get at the battery a typo.... That would be GREAT! Actually, when I first read it I thought "this has to be a mistake", but sadly, not the case.
