ENGINE SYSTEM
Displacing 499 cc, the TMax’s highly-advanced fully automatic twin-cylinder DOHC liquid-cooled
4-stroke 8-valve engine is one of the most powerful designs available on scooters today.
A key feature of its configuration is that unlike most traditional scooter engines which pivot as one
unit with the rear suspension, this engine is fixed rigidly into the TMax’s strong tubular diamond-shape frame
in order to achieve higher levels of chassis rigidity for enhanced handling performance. The swingarm is
mounted to a pivot point at the rear of the engine, thereby keeping unsprung weight low for more responsive
rear suspension action.
Another innovative feature is the horizontal configuration of the engine that keeps the centre of gravity
low for easy handling and also gives extra storage space under the dual seat.
ENGINE FEATURES
nParallel twin with 360 degree crankshaft
n66 mm bore and 73 mm stroke
n10.1 :1 compression ratio
nLeft side drive cam chain for reduced engine width
Horizontal compact cylinder head
Horizontally opposed reciprocating balancer
Semi dry sump
High capacity V-belt transmission
Wet multiple plate automatic centrifugal clutch
Non adjustable 2-stage silent chain drive train
Pivot coaxial drive shaft eliminates chain backlash

CRANKSHAFT / BALANCER
nNew design crankshaft uses replaceable full circumference plain bearings
nHorizontally opposed reciprocating balancer for excellent vibration reduction
This type achieves same vibration reduction as 3 balancer shafts to reduce primary and second-
ary inertial forces, while requiring less space.
