I don't believe so. Since it is a FOUR cycle engine, Each cylinder only

Cy, I think they really do go bang bang, flup flup because of the
angle of the V. They cannot be timed so that they can fire as equally
opposite as a horizonatally opposed twin.

Harley actually attempted to patten the sound against Japanese copies.
They called it: potato potato potato potato and said it was theirs and
