V-Twin Motorcycle Engine – 3D Model SolidWorks

Share a fine SolidWorks design of a V-twin motorcycle engine, including parts and assembly drawings.
Motorcycles can have 1-6 cylinders. For many years, the V-twin design has been the choice of American, European and Japanese motorcycle engineers. V-twin is named because the two cylinders are in a V shape, such as the classic Harley-Davidson V-twin engine shown below. Note the 45 degrees in the Harley-Davidson V-twin, other manufacturers may change this angle to reduce vibration. Motorcycle engines work in the same way as car engines. The engine consists of pistons, cylinder blocks and cylinder heads, and the cylinder head contains the valve mechanism. When the spark ignites the fuel and air mixture, it causes an explosion, pushing the piston up and down in the cylinder block. The valve opens and closes to allow the fuel and air mixture to enter the combustion chamber. The up and down movement of the piston drives the crankshaft to rotate, converting the energy of the piston into rotational motion. The rotational force of the crankshaft is transmitted to the rear wheel of the motorcycle through the transmission.
