Kawasaki H2 750 Mach IV

The H2 750 Mach IV is Kawasaki's air-cooled two-stroke triple, an engine whose reputation rests entirely on a powerband that arrives all at once. That behaviour is not folklore — it is what a large-bore two-stroke with high exhaust-port timing and a short tuned pipe does, and it is visible in a simulation. At 71 mm bore by 63 mm stroke with 6.5:1 geometric compression, the preset gives you the port areas against crank angle and the resulting cycle. If you want to understand why the powerband is where it is, rather than just riding around it, this is the engine to model.

Preset parameters

Values below are the preset the calculator loads — you can change every one of them in the form. Angles are absolute crank angle (CA) on a 0–720° cycle.

Notes for modelling

  • Lowering exhaust-port timing widens the powerband and lowers peak power — the classic street-versus-strip trade, and quantifiable here.
  • Air cooling limits sustained output; the model computes gas temperatures but does not model cylinder heat rejection.
  • Three cylinders: multiply the per-cylinder result.
