V-twin engine delivers smooth operation and plenty of power

The 14.5 hp (10.81 kW) air cooled V twin engine delivers strong torque across a wide range of speeds, with full pressure lubrication for durability on uneven terrain. Its overhead valve design increases power and torque per cubic inch of displacement, improves fuel efficiency, and helps maintain cooler operating temperatures.
