Default RE: Lower Crankcase shape.

Yamaha engineers have done a lot of research on the case volume issue. In all cases they achieved a volumetric efficiency of nearly 100%. The rpm at which that efficiency was obtained increased with the c'case compression ratio. So it is a matter of tuning the items together. For Example, it will not do to have a high CC compression ratio for a low rpm ported engine or vise versa.
