ENGINE
GENERAL
The V2 EvolutionTM engine is a two-cylinder, four-cycle, aircooled, overhead-valve V-twin. It has three major component assemblies.

FUEL
Gasoline/alcohol Blends
Buell motorcycles were designed to obtain the best performance and efciency using unleaded gasoline (91 pump octane or higher). Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline/alcohol blends as a fuel. The type and amount of alcohol added to the fuel is important.
q

Cylinder
The cylinder assembly includes cylinder head, valves, rocker arm cover, rocker arms and piston. Cylinders mount on the crankcase in a 45 degree V with both connecting rods connected to a single crank pin.

DO NOT USE GASOLINES CONTAINING METHANOL. Using gasoline/methanol blends will result in starting and driveability deterioration and damage to critical fuel system components. ETHANOL is a mixture of 10% ethanol (Grain alcohol) and 90% unleaded gasoline. Gasoline/ethanol blends can be used in your motorcycle if the ethanol content does not exceed 10%. Gasolines containing ETHER: Gasoline/ether blends are a mixture of gasoline and as much as 15% ether. Gasoline/ether blends can be used in your motorcycle if the ether content does not exceed 17%. REFORMULATED OR OXYGENATED GASOLINES (RFG): Reformulated gasoline is a term used to describe gasoline blends that are specically designed to burn cleaner than other types of gasoline, leaving fewer tailpipe emissions. They are also formulated to evaporate less when you are lling your tank. Reformulated gasolines use additives to oxygenate the gas. Your motorcycle will run normally using this type of gas. Buell recommends you use it when possible, as an aid to cleaner air in our environment.

Crankcase
The up-and-down motion of the piston in the cylinder is converted to circular motion in the crankcase. The multi-piece crankshaft consists of a crank pin mounted between two counterweighted ywheels, which rotate on two end shaft bearings. The lower end of the rear cylinder connecting rod is forked to t around the single-end front cylinder connecting rod, allowing a single connecting rod crank pin connection to the ywheel.

Gearcase
The gearcase is located on the right side of the crankcase. The gearcase houses the gear train, which operates and times the valves and ignition. The cam gear train, consisting of four cam shafts with one cam lobe on each shaft, is gear driven. The engine valves are opened and closed through the mechanical linkage of tappets, push rods and rocker arms. Hydraulic lifters, located in the tappets, automatically compensate for heat expansion to maintain the no-lash t of valve train components. Tappets serve to transmit the cam action to the valve linkage. Valve timing is obtained by aligning timing marks when installing cam gears. Ignition spark is produced by the operation of a microprocessor-controlled electronic ignition module, ignition coil, and spark plugs. Spark timing is determined by a trigger rotor, magnetic sensing unit and vacuum-operated electric switch. The trigger rotor has two openings which time the cylinders. Both spark plugs re simultaneously each crankshaft revolution. The spark plug in the front cylinder will re at the end of that cylinders compression stroke, igniting the air/fuel mixture in the front cylinder. At the same instant, however, the spark in the rear cylinder will re ineffectually during the end of that cylinders exhaust stroke. During the next engine revolution, the simultaneous ring of the spark plugs will occur during the middle of the front cylinders exhaust stroke and at the end of the rear cylinders compression stroke (igniting the air/fuel mixture in the rear cylinder).

Because of their generally higher volatility, these blends may adversely affect the starting, driveability and fuel efciency of your motorcycle. If you experience these problems, Buell recommends you operate your motorcycle on straight, unleaded gasoline.

LUBRICATION
The engine has a force-feed (pressure) type oiling system, incorporating oil feed and return pumps in one pump body, with one check valve on the oil feed side. The feed pump forces oil to the engine, lubricating lower connecting rod bearings, rocker arm bushings, valve stems, valve springs, push rods and tappets. Cylinder walls, pistons, piston pins, timing gears and bushings and main bearings are lubricated by oil spray thrown off connecting rods and crankshaft, and by oil draining from each rocker box through an internal drain passage in each cylinder and each tappet guide. A small amount of oil is sprayed through an oil galley jet onto the rear intake cam gear in the gearcase; oil is transferred to the teeth of all the cam gears by way of the gear meshing action. The oilscavenging section of the pump returns oil to the tank from the engine. See LUBRICATION SYSTEM on page 3-28 for further information.

ADJUSTMENT/TESTING
General
When an engine needs repair, it is not always possible to determine denitely beforehand whether repair is possible with only cylinder heads, cylinders and pistons disassembled or whether complete engine disassembly is required for crankcase repair.

Compression Test Procedure

Combustion chamber leakage can result in unsatisfactory engine performance. A compression test can help determine the source of cylinder leakage. Use CYLINDER COMPRESSION GAUGE (Part No. HD-33223-1). A proper compression test should be performed with the engine at normal operating temperature when possible. Proceed as follows:

1CAUTION
After completing the compression test(s), make sure that the throttle plate is in the closed position before starting engine. Engine will start at an extremely high RPM if throttle plate is left open. 1. 2. Disconnect spark plug wires. Clean around plug base and remove plugs. Connect compression tester to front cylinder. With carburetor throttle plates in wide open position, crank engine continuously through 5-7 full compression strokes. Note gauge readings at the end of the rst and last compression strokes. Record test results. Connect compression tester to rear cylinder. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 on rear cylinder. Compression is normal if nal readings are 120 psi (8.4 kgN/cm2) or more and do not indicate more than a 10 psi (0.7 kgN/cm2) variance between cylinders. See Table 3-1. Inject approximately 1/2 oz. (15 ml) of SAE 30 oil into each cylinder and repeat the compression tests on both cylinders. Readings that are considerably higher during the second test indicate worn piston rings.

Most commonly, only cylinder head and cylinder repair is needed (valves, rings, piston, etc.) and it is recommended procedure to service these units rst, allowing engine crankcase to remain in frame.

See DISASSEMBLING ENGINE FOR CYLINDER HEAD REPAIR on page 3-8 to strip motorcycle for removal of cylinder heads, cylinders, and pistons.

3.

After disassembling upper end only, it may be found that crankcase repair is necessary. In this situation, remove the engine crankcase from the chassis. See REMOVING ENGINE CRANKCASE OR COMPLETE ENGINE on page 3-8.

4. 5. 6. 7.

1CAUTION
If engine is removed from chassis, do not lay engine on primary side. Placing engine on primary side will damage clutch cable end tting. If tting is damaged, clutch cable must be replaced.

8.

Symptoms indicating a need for engine repair are often misleading, but generally, if more than one symptom is present, possible causes can be narrowed down to make at least a partial diagnosis. An above-normal consumption of oil, for example, could be caused by several mechanical faults. See TROUBLESHOOTING in Section 1. However, when accompanied by blue-gray exhaust smoke and low engine compression, it indicates the piston rings need replacing. Low compression by itself, however, may indicate improperly seated valves, in addition to or in lieu of worn piston rings.

Table 3-1. Compression Test Results

DIAGNOSIS Ring trouble. TEST RESULTS Compression low on rst stroke; tends to build up on the following strokes but does not reach normal; improves considerably when oil is added to cylinder. Compression low on rst stroke; does not build up much on following strokes; does not improve considerably with the addition of oil. Same reaction as valve trouble.

Valve trouble. Most frequently, valves, rings, pins, bushings, and bearings need attention at about the same time. If the possible causes can be narrowed down through the process of elimination to indicate any one of the above components is worn, it is best to give attention to all of the cylinder head and cylinder parts.

Head gasket leak.

3-6

Cylinder Leakage Test

The cylinder leakage test pinpoints engine problems including leaking valves, worn, broken or stuck piston rings and blown head gaskets. The cylinder leakage tester applies compressed air to the cylinder at a controlled pressure and volume, and measures the percent of leakage from the cylinder. Use a CYLINDER LEAKDOWN TESTER (Part No. HD35667) and follow the specic instructions supplied with the tester. The following are some general instructions that apply to Buell motorcycle engines: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Run engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. Stop engine. Clean dirt from around spark plugs and remove spark plugs. Remove air cleaner and set carburetor throttle in wide open position. Remove timing inspection plug from crankcase. The piston, in cylinder being tested, must be at top dead center of compression stroke during test. To keep engine from turning over when air pressure is applied to cylinder, engage transmission in fth gear and lock the rear brake. Following the manufacturers instructions, perform a cylinder leakage test on the front cylinder. Make a note of the percent leakdown. Any cylinder with 12% leakdown, or more, requires further attention. Listen for air leaks at carburetor intake, exhaust, head gasket and timing inspection hole. See Table 3-2.

Table 3-2. Air Leakage Test

AIR LEAK LOCATION Carburetor intake. Exhaust pipe. Timing inspection hole. POSSIBLE CAUSES Intake valve leaking. Exhaust valve leaking. Piston rings leaking. Worn or broken piston. Worn cylinder. Leaking gasket.

Head gasket.

Diagnosing Smoking Engine or High Oil Consumption

Perform Compression or Cylinder Leakdown Test as described previously. If further testing is needed, remove suspect head(s) and inspect the following:
q q q q

Valve guide seals. Valve guide-to-valve stem clearance. Gasket surface of both head and cylinder. Oil return passages for clogging.

7.

8.

NOTE If air is escaping through valves, check push rod length.

9. Repeat procedure on rear cylinder.

1CAUTION After completing the compression test(s), make sure that the throttle plate is in the closed position before starting engine. Engine will start at an extremely high RPM if throttle plate is left open.

Replacing Valve Guides

Valve guide replacement, if necessary, must be done before valve seat is ground. It is the valve stem hole in valve guide that determines seat grinding location. Valve stem-to-valve guide clearances are listed in Table 3-3. If valve stems and/or guides are worn beyond service wear limits, install new parts.

Grinding Valve Faces and Seats

After installing valve guides, valve seats must be refaced to make them concentric with guides. Valve face angle is 45 for both intake and exhaust valves. If a valve refacing grinder is used, it must be adjusted exactly to this angle. It is important to remove no more metal than is necessary to clean up and true valve face. Install a new valve if grinding leaves the valve edge (the margin) with a width of less than 1/32 in. (0.8 mm). A valve with too thin a margin does not seat normally, burns easily, may cause pre-ignition and can also lead to valve cracking. Valves that do not clean up quickly are probably warped or too deeply pitted to be reused. Replace the valve if end of valve stem shows uneven wear. After valves have been ground, handle with care to prevent damage to the ground faces. The valve seats may be renished with cutters or grinders. Cut seats to a 46 angle or grind seats to a 45 angle. Valve seat tools and xtures are available commercially. Seat each valve in the same position from which it was removed. The correct 3-angle valve seat angles are shown in Figure 321. Use a NEWAY VALVE SEAT CUTTER (Part No. 444-HDF; part of NEWAY VALVE SEAT CUTTER SET, Part No. HD35758) to cut the seats. Always grind valves before cutting seats. 1. Cut 46 (or grind 45) valve seat angle rst. Use cutting oil to avoid chatter marks. Cut or grind only enough to clean up the seat.

Margin

Figure 3-21. Valve Seat Angles 2. Apply a small amount of lapping compound to the valve face. Rotate valve against seat using VALVE LAPPING TOOL (Part No. HD-96550-36A). See Figure 3-21. Check the contact pattern on valve face. It should be 0.040-0.062 in. (1.02-1.57 mm) wide, and its center should be positioned 2/3 of the way toward the outside edge of face. If valve seat pattern is too close to the stem side of valve face, cut 60 angle in order to raise seat. If pattern is too close to the edge of valve face, cut 31 angle in order to lower seat. After cutting either or both 31 or 60 angles to position seat, nal cut 46 (or grind 45) seat angle to obtain proper 0.040-0.062 in. (1.02-1.57 mm) width. Recheck valve seat width and location with lapping compound as described in Step 2. To achieve a smooth even nish, place a piece of 280 grit emery paper under the cutter head and rotate cutter.

1CAUTION
Do not grind valve to shorten. Grinding will remove the case hardening and expose the stems mild steel core resulting in rapid end wear. 8. See Figure 3-22. Wipe valve seats and valve faces clean. Measure valve stem protrusion. If valve stem protrudes more than 2.034 in. (51.66 mm), replace valve seat or cylinder head. If valve stem protrusion is within the acceptable range, valves and seats are ready for lapping.

5696

Valve stem must not protrude more than 2.034 in. (51.66 mm)

Replacing Valve Seats

Replacing a valve seat is a complex operation requiring special equipment. If the seat is loose or is not fully seated in the head, then seat movement will prevent the proper transfer of heat from the valve. The seat surface must be ush with (or below) the head surface. See SPECIFICATIONS for valve seat-to-cylinder head t. To remove the old seat, lay a bead of weld material around the inside diameter of the seat. This will shrink the seat outside diameter and provide a surface for driving the seat out the port side.

Lapping Valve Faces and Seats

NOTE If valve faces and seats have been smoothly and accurately refaced, very little lapping will be required to complete the seating operation.
1. See Figure 3-23. Apply a light coat of ne lapping compound to valve face. Insert valve in guide. Position one rubber cup end of VALVE LAPPING TOOL (Part No. HD96550-36A) onto head of valve. Holding lapping tool as shown, apply only very light pressure against valve head, and rotate lapping tool and valve alternately clockwise and counterclockwise a few times. Lift valve and rotate it about 1/3 of a turn clockwise. Repeat lapping procedure in Step 1. Repeat Step 2. Then, remove valve. Wash valve face and seat; dry with a new, clean cloth or towel. If inspection shows an unbroken lapped nish of uniform width around both valve and seat, valve is well seated. If lapped nish is not complete, further lapping (or grinding and lapping) is necessary.
