This is really cool to watch, and makes you realize JUST how important just a single degree of timing can be.


Also a little concerning to think that this is happening exactly 10 and 1/2 inchs away from my balls.

I love how you can watch the beat frequency between the RPM and the video recording.

Needs more shutter speed.

I love seeing the valve rotation. Do they only rotate at higher RPM, or is the movement so slight that it’s imperceptible at lower speeds?

I think its just that the movement is so slight..

I have several Phantoms and can do to this at shutter speeds down to 290 nanoseconds if someone can send the cut engine :)

This is beautiful.

I’ve been told women are fans, especially of V-Twins

its not the vibrations that worry me. its what would happen if one of those valves decides to make a break for it. (nothing...but still. bad images)

Oh, I got what you were saying. When I read it my first visual was one of those drag racers grenading...then that being a bike!

Sit on a Ducati, then its only 5 inches from your balls.
