What is the displacement in CC for a Harley 107 cubic inches?
2 Answers
Harley 107 cubic inches comes in two displacement specifications: 1753cc and 1868cc. Example explanation: In the United States, cubic inches are used as the unit for displacement, which refers to the maximum exhaust volume of the cylinder and piston in one working cycle. 107 CUBE-INCH is equivalent to 1688cc, which is approximately a 1.7L engine displacement in cars. Internationally, cubic centimeters (CC) are commonly used, which are the same size as milliliters (ML). Introduction to displacement: Displacement refers to the volume of fluid inhaled or exhausted per stroke or cycle. Generally, a larger displacement means the engine releases more energy per unit time (converting chemical energy from fuel into mechanical energy), resulting in better "power performance." Therefore, vehicles like off-roaders and sports cars usually have relatively larger displacements.
A 107 cubic inch Harley engine converts to approximately 1750cc. The specific calculation is based on 1 cubic inch equaling 16.387 cubic centimeters, so 107 multiplied by 16.387 is roughly 1754.8, commonly rounded down to 1750cc. As someone who frequently repairs motorcycles, I understand that Harley's Milwaukee-Eight series engines are precisely designed, with large displacements delivering robust power. However, daily riding requires attention to maintenance, such as using full synthetic oil for changes, inspecting the filter every 5,000 kilometers, and avoiding long periods of inactivity to prevent carbon buildup, which can reduce the risk of malfunctions. I recommend new riders start with small to medium displacements to familiarize themselves with handling before upgrading, or join a Harley club to exchange experiences. Online forums offer practical tutorials for reference.
