Cranking a 2 vs. 4 cylinder bike

(1/7) > >>

kevdog3019:
In general is cranking a 2 cylinder Guzzi 750 easier than say a Jap 4 cylinder 750 or about equal?  Battery choices is why I need to know.
Thanks 

oldbike54:
 No generally a 4 will easier to turn over than a twin .

I'd say it's harder than a 4 cylinder. You are never pushing more than one cylinder through compression at a time, and a big cylinder compresses more air than a small one. Life with kickstart-only bikes teaches you this.

LowRyter:
4 cyl should turn over easier. You have twice the chances of the spark catching

What takes more effort, the biggest bite of a hamburger you can take or a modest bite.
If you can figure that out you will have your answer.
