Engine and Transmission
Engine Type Refers to the design and configuration of the engine. Most petrol bikes typically use either a single-cylinder, twin-cylinder, or occasionally a multi-cylinder (like a four-cylinder) engine.	Single-Cylinder, 4 Stroke, Air-Oil Cooled Engine	Liquid-cooled, DOHC
Displacement	349 cc	471 cc
No. of Cylinders Indicates the total count of combustion cylinders in the engine. Common configurations include single-cylinder, twin-cylinder, and four-cylinder setups.	1	1
Cooling System Describes the method used to dissipate heat from the engine. Petrol bikes often use air-cooling or liquid-cooling systems to maintain optimal operating temperatures.	Air & Oil Cooled	Liquid Cooled
Valve Per Cylinder Refers to the number of intake and exhaust valves present in each cylinder. Most modern petrol bike engines have two or four valves per cylinder.	-	4
