There were a couple of krauser bikes at the Airhead weekend,
I was talking to Steve Scriminger,and Bob porecha about them,neither had much positive to say about them.
Value through rarity
Tho,I’ll admit to knowing very little about them.
I don’t build race bikes or engines,
Only the odd hotish (warm) motor.
If you want a fast bike,buy a fast bike
This is pretty much what scrimmy and Bob were sayingI'd guess that one cam drives one rod which in turn now pushes against two valves instead of the regular one, probably opens up a whole new world of worn cams and followers.
I was talking to Steve Scriminger,and Bob porecha about them,neither had much positive to say about them.
But it probably takes a bit of specialist knowledge and expertise to get them working properly, so no surprise they get a caning from some who might be a little short of either, or both!
Hilarious.

Some of the airhead tuners reckon that they can get very similar results
I first rode an airhead in 1979 and BMW mechanics said, even then, that two parts you should avoid for airheads...Lester wheels and Krauser heads !
My four valve F650 Funduro has a 230 degree cam and in soft tune makes 48 BHP with a muffler.
It takes 336 degrees to get a two valve airhead anywhere near that specific output.
When you understand why it is able to do so you might, just might, understand why some might have the opinion they do.
And why the majority of engines designed in the last 40 years have four valve motors
Until then, keep laughing!
But you have to know what you are doing, which you obviously dont.
