| So I was wondering for the sake of learning something new; Since both Swing 600 pistons go up and down at the same time do they both fire there fuel charge also at the same time? I kinda doubt it but it did strike me curious how both pistons travel up and down at exactly the same time? Thoughts appreciated. Thanks. |

| The twin cylinder configuration on the SW600 is a 360-degree crankshaft, were both pistons travel together, it uses a "Wasted Spark Ignition System", like many other bikes with paired piston positions, were a single coil fires 2 spark plugs, when paired pistons are near TDC, one piston is in compression/power and the other is exhaust/intake (Wasted Spark). |
