This isn't exactly related to the ninja but I can't figure this out and won't sleep until I do lol. I know our Ninja's are DOHC 4-valves per cylinder but does that mean there are just two camshafts in our engine? I'm confused as to how an Inline 4 could have dual overhead cams and how a V-twin or parallel could as well...
Also for those motorcycles that are still 2 valves per cylinder (like the aprilia shiver), does this affect how many cams it has versus a 4-valve cylinder? (basically can one cam turn more than just 2 valves or does more than 2 valves per cylinder require at least 2 cams???)
I know this is a bit confusing but if anyone can help I might actually get some sleep tonight and not have to look like this tmrw :thud:
