Figure these out!
22 May 2008 06:16
Ducati has come out with a race replica bike ($72,000!) with a V-4. I've studied this valve train and still don't quite understand how it works, and you thought WE have problems with our 2 valve system? Adjust these...!!
1980 KZ650F1, Bought new out the door for $2,162.98!

It's quite simple really.
There's a separate rocker arm to open and close each valve, riding on different cams right beside each other.
In the picture it almost looks like one cam lobe works both rocker arms, but that's not the case. Each rocker has it's own cam lobe.
No springs to close these valves as there are in our engines.

Kind of makes under bucket shims seem not so bad.
