you really have no clue do you? most of Harley's engines are still pushrod, take another look... the twin cam is NOT a dohc. also did you ever think maybe the Rincon is in a lower state of tune then the grizzly? Yamaha banshees only make about 40hp at the wheels in stock form... a little porting and a set of pipes and you're easily in the 60hp range.




what does that mean? it means stock doesn't dictate the potential of an engine, far from it! and why are you so hung up on PEAK hp numbers anyway? do you ride wide open all the time? from what ive read you don't consider a wide trail a "atv trail" so those numbers would be meaningless to you anyway!

 

That explains its 80hp out of a 1400cc displacement. Proud achievement indeed.

 

wow, you totally glossed over what I said. you musta been hard to teach in school! you do realize Harley's are CRUISERS right? they are not made for high hp. nobody rides a street bike or atv wide open at peak rpm all the time unless they are drag racing.


on the other side of the coin if you want big hp out of a Harley, it can easily be done. just because they only put out a certain number in stock form doesn't mean the potential isn't there for more... its called state of tune. Harley tuned them for low end power from the factory, which is useful on the street
