It’s really not that complicated Jim

With fixed timing like our bikes the cam drive gears position remains constant in relation to the lobes. The new VVT can change the position of the drive gear in relation to the lobes thus retarding or advancing the cam timing. It does this using oil pressure, forcing oil into a dual sided chamber. To retard oil pressure is directed into one side, while the other side is not pressurized. To advance the pressurized side is switched.

Now all this does require a cam position sensor so the control system detects the relative position of  advance or retard. That protrusion on the front of the cam cover is where that sensor is.

I read somewhere that the cam can be advanced 20 degrees or retarded 20 degrees. That seems like a lot to me. Maybe they really meant plus 10 or minus 10 but that is still a lot.

The net effect is that a cam with more duration and lift can be used and still pass emissions because  of the adjustability.

TN:
I know of only one other that complains about speakers and other electronics in the saddlebags. I wonder what a pair of solid lids in whiskey neat paint cost from the MOCO?  :drink:



Forums use to be the MOCO’s focus group but they’ve moved on to YouTube influencers and such. More apt to getting positive reviews

SneakyPete:
This sounds like a topic of conversation and contemplation reserved for Bloody Tuesday in the Valley

SHRADER:
Might be Bloody Mary Wednesday this year Pete.
Tuesday weather looks good for riding, Wednesday not so much.


I can see you as a YouTube influencer Phil. Influencing a generation of young hillbillies to get an education and stay straight. The non-hillbillies would never understand you even with captioning. :oops:
