The sound is due to the "screamer"-setup. In a four stroke engine every cilinder has fired once on a 720 degree rotation. In a screamer engine every 180 degrees a cilinder fires. Opposite to a "big bang"-setup in which the four (or 5 or whatever) cilinders fire in a close interval, such as the Cross-plane crankshaft as Yamaha is currently using. Because of the constant interval between firing cilinders, the rpm's of a screamer engine appear to be higher compared to other setups.

Kawasaki test rider Olivier Jacques has been testing it since 2007. I'm just amazed they've managed to get a pneumatic valve engine to rev as high as the Ducati Desmodromic. Class!

The Bike has a screamer Engine. Its a crossplane crank, with the journals 90 degrees apart instead of a normal flatplane crank where you have journals 180 degrees apart. That gives the charicteristic sound. F1 cars use the same configuration. It makes the torque more controllable and makes mre even power.
@StefanR016 жыл бұрын
The MotoGP sound ... 2009 also available for street the very first time ever: The 2009 R1 with cross plane crankshaft and an ignition order of 270-180-90-180 (which makes the MotoGP sound). It is responsible for the fact that the combined torque graph (combustion + initial) is pretty the same like the combustion torque itself. This leads to a superb controlable power delivery!

watch the crewman holding the bike at 0:12. when he takes his hand off the throttle to hand over the bike to the racer, he rotates his wrist forward and thus, the bike drops in rpm. also, when the racer mounts the bike, yes his hand flicks outward without any change in rpm, but he was adjusting his hand position at that point, like any normal bike rider would do when they mount. when he takes off, its also obvious what his hands are doing. the difference in rpm may be his clutchwork.

Well, it's the most common engine called the inline 4. You can hear it anytime or everytime you want. Don't let the saying "this was the long bang version" come up to your mind. This was not the long bang version. This is the flatplane conventional firing interval and order inline 4 engine. The long bang version sounds exactly like a 180° phased crank angle parallel twin cylinder, but with double cylinders firing at the same time.

Good call my well learned friend. Yamaha worked on the "long bang" if you remember but it tore up the primary gears and destroyed the tyre. Even honda got into the action with their V5 package firing in a real strange order? The big bang theory (in bike engines at least) says that a large bang followed by smaller consistent inputs allows the tyre to recover if it starts to lose traction, whereas a constant poppin' would keep it sliding raising the chance of highside & lowsides (and Pain) :-)

@travis06200316 жыл бұрын
Screamer means that the ignition of all four cylinders is in an order with the same temporary gap. The contrary is the Big-Bang where the ignition of always two cylinders - in a fourcylinder of course - is shorter than between the other two following. So you make some kind of 2 cylinder out of a fourcylinder. The big bang concept is not as aggressive as the Screamer-concept and by far not as loud. Kawasaki is the only one using it.
@peyj24516 жыл бұрын
The engines in moto GP are limited to 800cc. Beside that for induction the pneumatic system is used and timing between fireing cylinders is more equal, as in normal engines, but at much higher revs. All that makes this screaming sound.

@brolicmode if you knew about motorcycle engine parts, youd know that due to the smaller engine parts they can rev alot higher than your typical engine (because they weigh less) and that's what happens in a F1 which creates a scream effect.. this is a race bike so it revs really high and the firing order in the engine also amplifies this noise, this is more than possible, and some street bikes even sound pretty high pitched... like my yamaha r6 it revs up to 18,000 rpm redline,sounds so good :)
