What is the reason for a motorcycle engine to have fins on its side?
well, the motorcycle's engine is comparatively small, therefore the bike will need to be designed to give the engine some help. the fins are there to make the bike more aerodynamic, meaning that it will slip through the air with less friction and allow the bike to gain higher speeds while using less fuel. Answer: If your question concerns fins on the side of the engine then they are designed to provide more surface area to the cylinder head on an air cooled engine. The greater the surface area of the engine the more the airflow can act on it and cool the engine.
