Strange JAP cylinder
« on: December 07, 2025, 07:16:51 AM »
Hi,
Has anyone every seen such a Roadster cylinder with seperate sparkplug hole like the SV sports engines K and U?
Furthermore this cylinder has very tiny but many cooling fins.
This cylinder was mounted on a 550cc Roadster engine from 1927 ( LY/I ). It has the original bore of 85,7mm and a stroke of 95mm, so it is a real 550 roadster barrel. But I haven't ever seen a roadster barrel with seperate sparkplug hole and such tiny fins.
In the pictures you can see this cylinder compared to a 500 roadster KY/W
Thanks
Regards
Ralf

I nothing less than nothing about JAP engines other than they made many more industrial and stationary engines than bike engines, so maybe it's off something like that?
