A seven plate clutch with stronger primary chain and a 5-speed transmission and hydraulic lifters along with a heavy crankshaft are the other things come with the modified engine. Carberry Motorscycles also reveals that the oil capacity of this engine is 3.7-litre and the lifters and oil pumps operate in their own housings. This way the engine cases are saved from wear and tear.
Carberry Motorcycles also says that the 1000 cc V-Twin engine has been developed for linear power delivery and it is perfect for the customised motorcycle considering the retro design. The company is yet to receive clearance from ARAI and once it gets the permit, Indian customers can opt for buying this engine as well for their customised motorcycle.
