Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A motorcycle engine case comprises crankshaft support portions that are configured and adapted to support a crankshaft in a manner such that the crankshaft is rotatable about a crankshaft axis relative to the engine case. The engine case also comprises an internal cavity that is configured and adapted to house at least one flywheel in a manner such that the flywheel is rotatable about the crankshaft axis with the crankshaft relative to the engine case. The engine case further comprises an adjustable oil scraper that is movable toward and away from the crankshaft axis and that can be locked in position relative to the crankshaft axis. The oil scraper is adapted and configured to remove oil clinging to the flywheel as the flywheel rotates about the crankshaft axis.
