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 setup on to act as somewhat of a damper, but that adds quite a bit of weight. As far as I can tell, not many guys have tried to use the transmission as the PSRU; or at least not easy to find info on their experience. One thought I had was, to add a "harmonic balancer" between the prop and the tranny; but I am not sure of how to for lack of a better term, "size" the balancer. I have read a tremendous amount of info on this subject, but not being an engineer leaves me feeling like I would like to have more knowledgeable guys put in their thoughts. -Zach
