Balance One, six, twelve, … or the real elephant in the corner Engine vibration From:Klaus Salzer Low vibrations do not need 6 cylinders (though I agree, the sound would be great!) 2 Cylinders are enough for a nearly vibration free 2-cycle motor... if they are opposed, fire simultaneously, and they are on the same axis.
