    This is what my five year old took at Oshkosh last year; it's currently on my desktop in the office.

    Torsional Damper on motorcycle transmission

    Really any that pertain to the engine being converted. Don't feel like you have to waste a ton of time uploading pictures, it's just that I am very interested in what you have done with that project. -I made a paramotor from scratch using a Honda gx200 tore it down to the case, and rebuilt it...

    Torsional Damper on motorcycle transmission

    Orion & PTAirco, -thanks for the responses! I wondered if there would be need for a damper, since the transmission and the clutch would both act in some way as a damper. But wanted some other opinions. I hadn't seen this article before, you might be interested in reading...

    Torsional Damper on motorcycle transmission

    My biggest concern with using the Suzuki SV650 as my power-plant and PSRU is, trying to figure out what if any torsional damper is needed. I am leaving the clutch in the tranny, and stripping out all gears, but what I need to reduce the rpm to swing my prop. I have thought of putting a cog belt...

    Suzuki SV650 Engine

    I don't think I will use a chain. I was thinking more of coming straight out of the transmission with a torsional dampener, then the prop hub. I just posted that link to show the exact engine I was thinking of using, and that someone has already beat me to the punch.

    Suzuki SV650 Engine

    I actually just stumbled over this in a separate thread: Nouvelle page 1 I have been searching for several years to see if I would be the first to use this engine, but it looks like this guy beat me to it. Now, if only I spoke Bulgarian.

    Suzuki SV650 Engine

    I actually have the Kawasaki 650 engine. The problem is, it is two stroke and on the heavy end of what I need. I like the Suzuki because it is four cycle, VERY reliable cheap to buy, cheap to maintain, light, and it has my "psru" built in already.

    Suzuki SV650 Engine

    Can you put up a link to something that shows the engine-? I can't find, and had no idea that there was a jet ski version! But that sounds like what I need, with minimal effort involved.

    Suzuki SV650 Engine

    I am planning to make a dampener to go between the prop hub and the transmission. I have used this on a much smaller scale in the paramotors I have built using small four cycle engines.

    Suzuki SV650 Engine

    I am thinking about using a Suzuki SV650 engine on the plane I am currently building. They have a very solid reputation for reliability; and after a lot of research with my brother (a motorcycle guru), I think it has the best reputation, weight, HP, liquid cooled and '03 and after are all fuel...
