NEW TWIN CAM 96, 6-SPEED CRUISE DRIVE POWERTRAIN FOR 2007
Milwaukee, Wis. (July 14, 2006) - Harley-Davidson will launch an all-new Big
Twin powertrain for 2007, as the Twin Cam 96/96B engine and 6-speed Cruise
Drive transmission debut together on all Touring, Softail and Dyna models.
The new engine, which will only be available with Electronic Sequential Port
Fuel Injection (ESPFI), offers a nine percent increase in displacement and
up to a 17 percent increase in torque (varies by model) over the Twin Cam
88/88B engines it replaces, and features a number of design enhancements
making it more powerful, reliable and smoother.
"The Twin Cam 96 has been the biggest new-engine program in the history of
Harley-Davidson," said Skip Metz, Program Manager-Big Twin Powertrain.
"There are more than 700 new part numbers associated with Twin Cam 96. The
only areas that didn't change are the cylinders, rocker arms, rocker boxes,
and items in the top part of the engine. Crankshafts, connecting rods, crank
cases, transmission cases, and all the transmission parts are new. We think
this next-generation Twin Cam will set the standard for the industry."
The Twin Cam 96 displaces 1584cc (96 cid), compared to 1450cc (88 cid) for
the Twin Cam 88 engine it replaces. The added displacement was achieved by
increasing stroke from 4.00 inches to 4.38 inches. The Twin Cam 96 cylinder
bore is 3.75 inches, the same as that of the Twin Cam 88. The Twin Cam 96B
is designed to be rigid-mounted in Harley-Davidson Softail models, and is
equipped with internal counter-balance shafts to provide a smooth and
powerful ride.
The Twin Cam 96 produces up to 93 ft. lbs. of peak torque at 3500 rpm,
compared to the Twin Cam 88 at up to 82 ft. lbs. at 3500 rpm.
The 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission, which was introduced on the Dyna
family in 2006, features gear ratios optimized to match the torque curve of
the new Twin Cam 96/96B engines. The addition of a higher-ratio sixth gear
reduces top-gear rpm by 11 percent, compared to the previous 5-speed Big
Twin transmission. At 75 mph, engine speed is reduced by 368 rpm, from 3227
rpm to 2859 rpm. Second through fourth gears have helical-cut teeth for
quieter operation, and load carrying capacity has been increased
significantly.
Twin Cam 96 Highlights
Traditional V-Twin Styling: The Twin Cam 96/96B remains the styling
centerpiece of each Harley-Davidson Big Twin model, and it retains the look,
sound and feel that has always been part of the Big Twin character. The Twin
Cam 96 preserves the styling characteristics of the Twin Cam 88 and the
heritage of its predecessors.
New Crankcase Design: The starter is now bolted directly to the inner
primary housing, eliminating the starter jackshaft for improved starter
performance. An integral oil filter adapter eliminates gaskets and hardware.
Internal oil passages between the engine and transmission on the Twin Cam 96
eliminate external oil lines and fittings.
Reduced Reciprocating Mass: Lighter pistons and lighter, shorter connecting
rods increase performance and reduce vibration. Despite an increase in
displacement, the Twin Cam 96 and the counter-balanced 96B are noticeably
smoother than the Twin Cam 88 at most engine speeds.
Improved Camshaft Design: The new cams are lighter and use improved
materials for enhanced durability. New hydrostatic, plain cam bearings
replace the previous roller bearings and offer increased durability, reduced
complexity and quieter operation. New multi-piece assembled camshafts
replace the previous forged, single-piece cams. A new, hydraulic automatic
cam chain tensioner replaces the previous spring-loaded mechanical
tensioner.
Improved Oil Pump: A new oil pump assembly provides 10 percent more flow and
23 percent more scavenging capacity than the previous design. The Twin Cam
96 also has an integrated oil cooler adapter.
Improved EFI: New 25-degree fuel injector nozzles offer better fuel
atomization and spray targeting than the previous 8-degree injectors, and
help reduce exhaust emissions and improve driveability. A new O2 feedback
sensor in the exhaust helps fine-tune EFI performance and reduce exhaust
emissions.
New Primary Chain Tensioner: A new automatic primary chain tensioner
eliminates the manual service adjustment of the primary chain. The inner and
outer primary drive covers are redesigned to improve the appearance of the
painted, polished or chromed surface.
New Exhaust Tuning: Muffler tuning has been changed to both improve exhaust
flow for increased performance, and to improve the sound quality of the
exhaust. Low frequencies have been enhanced to give the Twin Cam 96 a new,
commanding exhaust tone that preserves the legendary Harley-Davidson sound.
Bolt-On 103 Big Bore Kit: An increase in displacement to 103 cid can be
achieved by adding a bolt-on Big Bore Kit with 3.875-inch bore cylinders and
matching pistons from Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Accessories. It is no
longer necessary to add a stroker kit to get to 103 cid.
6-Speed Cruise Drive Transmission Highlights New Gear Ratios: New gear
ratios have been selected to match the torque curve characteristics of the
Twin Cam 96 engine. Roll-on acceleration performance is improved in all
gears. Top gear cruising ratios are reduced significantly with the addition
of the sixth gear and passing capability is improved.
Smoother Shifting: Shift effort is significantly reduced because steel "dog
rings" that slide to cause gear changes replace moving gears. Because the
dog rings have less mass than gears, shifting is quicker and smoother, and
the throw of the shift lever is reduced.
New Transmission Case: Larger internal bearings, larger gears and a stiffer
transmission housing all combine to improve over-all durability, and
torque-carrying capacity is increased by 28 percent. The transmission for
Dyna and Touring models has internal oil passages that eliminate external
oil lines and fittings and the opportunity for leaks. The Softail
transmission retains external oil lines.
New Gears: Helical-cut gear teeth, initially developed for the VRSC family,
present a larger contact area than the previous straight-cut gears, so they
are stronger and also quieter. A new cassette gear cluster is easy to remove
for improved serviceability.
Reduced Clutch Lever Effort: Reduced clutch spring rates, a revised
ball-and-ramp design, and a new, more-efficient clutch cable combine to
reduce clutch lever effort by up to seven percent (varies by model).
Service Intervals: The new Twin Came 96 engine primary chaincase drain
interval is 10,000 miles, while the 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission drain
interval is 20,000 miles.

I think the bigger improvement is the switch to a roller chain. The tensioner won't have to deal
with all the slop inherent with the silent chain.

Yep. And the Ultra Chicken is now a 110". With a more subtle paint scheme
even.
One might get the impression these guys are serious about selling some bikes
this year.

Didn't recall reading about that change. That something that goes
hand-in-hand with the hydraulic tensioners?
On another note, the service intervals for the primary and tranny, at
10K and 20K miles respectively, are interesting. (Not sure if the '06
Dynas called for 20K between tranny fluid changes.)

The increased service intervals are those of the new, super-duper
primary/tranny lubricant. Prolly manufactured by Citgo-Venezuela now that
they have some spare refining capacity.

> NEW TWIN CAM 96, 6-SPEED CRUISE DRIVE POWERTRAIN FOR 2007
At the risk of being redundant here's some more from the buried press releases:
NEW ENGINE, FOUR NEW MODELS FROM HARLEY-DAVIDSON
Milwaukee, Wis. (July 14, 2006) - Harley-Davidson will launch the Twin Cam 96, an all-new
Big Twin engine, as it introduces its 2007 line of motorcycles. The Twin Cam 96 will power
all models in the Harley-Davidson Dyna, Softail and Touring product families, each of
which will also feature the 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission. New motorcycles for 2007
include two VRSC models, the all-new FXSTC Softail Custom, and a limited-edition model
celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Sportster introduction.
“The V-Twin engine has always been the centerpiece of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle,” said
Bill Davidson, Harley-Davidson Director of Motorcycle Product Development. “It’s integral
not only to the performance of the motorcycle, but also to its styling, to its sound, and
to the way it feels to the rider. The new Twin Cam 96 and 6-speed Cruise Drive
transmission offer enhanced performance, while maintaining the traditional aesthetics of
the Harley-Davidson Big Twin.”
It is the timeless blend of form and function that shapes the character of every
Harley-Davidson model. It’s a philosophy that dictates that the machine should stir the
soul not just through its physical performance, but also through its presence, an
expression of the passion that has guided Harley-Davidson for more than a century.
Highlights of the 2007 Harley-Davidson line include:
The new Twin Cam 96 engine, paired with the 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission, delivers up
to 17 percent more torque (varies by model family) than the Twin Cam 88 it replaces and
incorporates a number of design changes to enhance performance and reliability. It will
only be offered with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI). The 6-speed Cruise
Drive transmission features quieter helical-cut gears in ratios optimized to match the
torque curve of the Twin Cam 96. A sixth gear reduces engine rpm by 11 percent at highway
speeds. New mufflers have been tuned to enhance the lower sound frequencies for a more
commanding exhaust tone.
The VRSC family of liquid-cooled power-cruisers features two new models. The VRSCDX Night
Rod Special offers menacing, blacked-out styling. The limited-edition VRSCX features the
pavement-scorching power of a big-bore Revolution V-Twin engine with drag-bike styling and
graphics that pay tribute to the NHRA champion Screamin’ Eagle / Vance & Hines Pro Stock
Motorcycle racing team.
The new FXSTC Softail Custom reprises the styling cues of the classic chopper, with a
200mm rear tire, king-and-queen seat, and Bobtail rear fender.
The limited-edition 50th Anniversary Sportster features special badging, a traditional
peanut fuel tank, and other classic components to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the
1957 Sportster introduction.
The FLSTF Fat Boy is refreshed and reloaded for 2007, with new wheels and styling details,
a new 200mm rear tire, and the performance of the Twin Cam 96/B engine and 6-speed Cruise
Drive transmission.
The FXDC Dyna Super Glide Custom is redesigned to enhance its aesthetic appeal with
additional chrome and custom features, including a new two-up, ribbed seat, Fat Bob fuel
tank and a mini-pullback handlebar.
Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) will offer four exciting models for 2007:
the Screamin’ Eagle Road King, the Screamin’ Eagle Ultra Classic Electra Glide, the
Screamin’ Eagle Softail Springer, and the Screamin’ Eagle Dyna. Each is powered by a new
high-performance Twin Cam 110 powertrain and features new accessories and fabulous new
paint schemes.
The new Harley-Davidson Smart Security System, featuring new hands-free fob and auto
arming/disarming, is an available factory-installed option for all Harley-Davidson models.
Harley-Davidson will offer 17 new color combinations for 2007.

SCREAMIN’ EAGLE ROAD KING RETURNS WITH A VENGEANCE
Milwaukee, Wis. (July 14, 2006) - The FLHRSE3 Screamin’ Eagle Road King, reprised for 2007
with more power, more gears and more drop-dead custom glamour than ever, returns to the
Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) line after a four-year hiatus. This
third-generation Screamin’ Eagle Road King combines classic Harley-Davidson styling with a
new Twin Cam 110 engine, 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission and exclusive custom components
and paint that make it an extraordinary touring motorcycle.
The Harley-Davidson CVO program creates limited-production, exclusive motorcycles produced
by teams of technicians in special assembly areas at the Harley-Davidson plants in York,
Pa., and Kansas City. Approximately 3,500 examples of the 2007 Screamin’ Eagle Road King
will be assembled at the York Vehicle Operations facility. The suggested U.S. retail price
for the 2007 Screamin’ Eagle Road King is $28,495 ($28,595 in California).
The Screamin’ Eagle Road King is based on the Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King. Custom
accessories exclusive to the Screamin’ Eagle Road King begin with new leather-wrapped
saddlebags with raised flame patterns on the lid tops and chrome trim on the front and
sides of each bag. The same flame pattern is featured on a new custom leather seat, and
also on an optional leather-wrapped Tour-Pak available for the Screamin’ Eagle Road King
through Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Accessories. The new chrome-and-rubber Ironside
accessories collection includes hand grips, rider footboards, passenger pegs, Mustache
engine guard pads, shift pegs and brake pedal pad. A new flush-mount fuel gauge features
LED indicators under a mirrored glass surface that matches the profile of the flush-mount
fuel filler cap. A new combination speedometer/tachometer features a spun-metal face. A
new tail lamp in the classic “tombstone” shape is exclusive to the Screamin’ Eagle Road King.
The Screamin’ Eagle Road King is powered by the largest-displacement production engine
ever offered by Harley-Davidson, the 110-cubic inch (1800cc) Twin Cam 110, a
high-performance V-Twin engine that delivers 115 ft. lbs. of torque at 3000 rpm.
Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) is standard on the Twin Cam 110, as is a
custom oil cooler with chrome cover, and chrome cross-over dual exhaust with four-inch
touring mufflers and chrome billet end caps. The engine is mated to a new 6-speed Cruise
Drive transmission for lower cruising rpm in top gear. The powertrain is finished in black
powder-coat with chrome covers.
New 18 x 3.5-inch front and 17 x 4.5-inch rear Chrome, Road Winder Forged Aluminum wheels
carry 130mm front and 170mm rear tires. Air-adjustable Profile Low rear suspension lets
the Screamin’ Eagle Road King hug the highway. The Dual Bulb Halogen Headlamp features
advanced reflector optics and separate bulbs for high and low beam functions. Touring
amenities include electronic cruise control, the Mustache Engine Guard with rubber boot
pads, an accessory power outlet, and a quick-detachable smoked windscreen.
The Screamin’ Eagle Road King will be offered in three exclusive color combinations: Razor
Red with Burnt Gold Leafing graphics; Candy Cobalt with Pale Gold Leafing graphics; and
Black Ice with Pewter Leafing graphics. Frame and swingarm paint color is complementary
with each paint scheme. The Harley-Davidson Smart Security System with Smart Siren, an
indoor storage cover with CVO logo, and a commemorative CVO key in a presentation box are

I think they mean integrated filter adapter. The filter head was cast into the right crankcase half
on the '06 Dyna and all TC88B engines. They seem to use an adapter plate like the older Softail coolers.
====================================
Premium Oil Cooler Kit
This cooler was designed specifically for Harley-Davidson® to out-perform all other coolers in the
industry. This cooler features a unique "Turbulator" system that evenly distributes oil across the
cooling chambers. The air fins are designed to efficiently dissipate heat. This popular Touring oil
cooler has been re-designed to simplify installation and enhance performance. The larger heat
exchanger provides additional cooling efficiency. Kit features an adapter plate with integrated
thermostat that allows oil lines to connect to the oil filter bracket. The thermostat activates at
185°F (85°C). Kit comes complete with mounting hardware and precut oil lines. Kit includes Chrome
Oil Cooler Cover.

That's mentioned elsewhere as well as:

and 23 percent more scavenging capacity than the previous design. *****The

It's either a mistake in the cooler kit description or in the press release. Either the kit
description was carried over from previous kits, or the new engine has an "integrated" oil cooler
"adapter" AVAILABLE. (Of course, if it's integrated, why does it need an adapter?)

Little known is that Nigel Tufnel is now lead designer at the MoCo.
Here's a transcription of a secret board meeting in which Nigel oulined
his vision for the 2007 product line to the new CEO:
Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to 96. Look, right across the product
lines, 96, 96, 96 ...
Jim Ziemer: Oh, I see. And most Harleys only go up to 95?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Jim Ziemer: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not a 95. You see,
most blokes, you know, buy an 88 then install the big bore kit to punch
it all the way out to 95. Where can you go from there? Where?
Jim Ziemer: I don't know...
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push
over the cliff, you know what we do?
Jim Ziemer: Put out a 96?
Nigel Tufnel: 96. Exactly. One louder.

That makes me laugh...
Anyone else remember what Harley's 'claim to fame' was when the TC's
hit the market?
"Destroked from (shorter stroke than) the Evo".
Back to square one.
