    Err...Tanay...in a parallel twin, both the pistons move in parallel, just that the firing happens at both the places alternatively. Its like this...



    Hope you got it.

    • ^ Yes, it is "called" a parallel twin. But what is inside the engine is different, and we have proof of that. It is a case of confusing labels and the way they are interpreted.

      There's a pic of the N250R's crank posted. If both pistons move in sync then why are the counterweights opposite to each other? They should be on the same side, shouldn't they?

          Anyway, for some genius "automobile engineers":

          The Ninja 250R is called a parallel twin. In actuality, its pistons are offset by 180 degrees, One piston at TDC means other at BDC.

          People have opened up a Ninja 250R engine and they have posted pics here, have confirmed on a thread meant exclusively to clarify the confusion.
          Please, look here: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/universa...el-twin-2.html

          Even owners of Ninja 250's have gotten confused.

          If a Ninja 250 had its pistons moving together then it would be a torquier and lower-revving machine.

          God save us from half baked knowledge.

          Its common knowledge that Ninja is a parallel twin and its also common knowledge that in parallel twins both cylinders move together. So do you suppose just because none of us opened up our engines to see how its happening inside or indeed searched over the internet for links, we have no right to speak?
          If its wrong you are free to correct it, I do not see the need for calling anyones knowledge half-baked. I suppose you have never been wrong.

            Reading and comprehending is not really your forte, is it?

            The very first post: "for some genius Automobile engineers"

            But, given your past posting history, I can quite understand.
            I'm not bothered by your posts in the least

              Maybe but forum posting certainly isn't yours. Probably, you could perhaps use the "quote" button to be clear which post you are referring to. And a big "whatever" for the last two lines.

              In anycase, I have gone off-topic enough. Good luck!

              • I know this is off topic. Anyway I am interested to know the facts behind how the Ninja 250 engine works. I always assumed that Ninja 250 being a parallel twin, the pistons goes up/down together in parallel with alternate firing order as explained by @aargee. If not, can we enlighten ourselves with verifiable source and clear this confusion?ahem...without getting personal .

                            I dont see any positive signs from Honda, no test rides to the magazine guys, no price announcement, just taking booking amount and nothing else. I am going .
                            Hmm YES I lost my sleep

                            I am very excited for it!

                            Dude what else can you expect from a 20 year old who is going to get a 250CC bike?

                            Dude the bike is yet not out from Honda's Mfg Plants I guess!
                            so how will they give a test ride?

                            The price will be announced in March I hope!
                            I feel like Peter Parker when I drive my Hunk in the city but I become Spiderman when I am on my CBR swinging from one lane to the other on expressways.

                            • I had called up my dealer for a general enquiry...

                              He said prices and other details will be announced in March. Also he said that I'll definitely get the delivery in April (April 15th is the tentative date he mentioned).
