Harley Davidson are wasted spark!?

[buddy]

So I recently discovered that traditionally, harleys have wasted spark ignition.... Even though they're a vee engine, which apparently is why they have that lumpy tickover sound.

The thing is, surely they have completely different ignition timing on the front and rear cylinder. Believe it or not I can't find out if this is the case online. But surely it can't be, that's bloody insane, can anyone confirm this???

All explained in here, very entertainingly.

There's loads of wasted spark engines, an old Triumph T140 for example

Makes sense when timing systems were simple but I'm guessing EFI Harleys keep the tradition.

I eventually got to the bottom of this... The lobes on the points cam are offset, so the ignition timing is correct for the front and rear cylinder when they actually fire
