OK, I'll bite. Yes, it is a 2 cylinder engine. The cylinders are arranged in a V shape, hence the name "V-Twin".

Is this a trick question? 2 cylinders.

Do you have the Harley-Davidson Extended Service on your bike? You might want to get it instead of working on the bike yourself.

Welcome to the forum and, don't worry, we weren't always experts at this motorcycle stuff!

Here is a quote

"The Harley-Davidson Twin Cam 88 engine was released for the 1999 model year in September 1998. The Harley-Davidson Twin Cam 96 was released for the 2007 model year. Although these engines were the successors to the Evolution engine ("Evo"), they share a number of characteristics with nearly all previous Harley-Davidson engines. Both engines have two cylinders in a V-twin configuration at 45 degrees, are air-cooled, and control valve timing with push-rods. The crankshafts have a single pin with a tongue and fork arrangement for the connection rods. These are sandwiched between a pair of flywheels."
