ABSTRACT:
A motorcycle engine having an exhaust passage air introduction system. Each cylinder includes two exhaust passages which are joined at a point displaced from the engine. Air is introduced into one of the exhaust passages of the two so as to more fully combust the unburned gasses within the exhaust passage and then to more fully combust the unburned exhaust in the joined passage. The timing of the valves associated with each exhaust passage is such that the valve associated with the passage having the air inlet has advance timing. A chain tensioner for the timing chain includes a tensioner cylinder hydraulically actuated by the engine oil. A gasket having an orifice therein is positioned between components in the oil passageway extending to the tensioner cylinder. The oil cooling system of the engine includes an oil filter and an oil cooler which are displaced from one another and mounted to a common base which is in turn mounted to the engine. The base includes passageways to direct oil into and out of each of these components.
