so that 800 EFI puts out about what? 140hp at the crank?

the odyssey came stock with a 16 hp single 250 and NO SUSPENSION..... put that together.

its not efi, its carbed, but its putting about around 145.

if your going to bitch about it not having any suspension, do something, It could not be that hard to rig up some sort of swing arm in the rear.

well actually, if you read the fist post, you would have noticed that i am in the process of vuilding a full independant long travel ody... the other consideration is the strength of the drive train.... the reduction case can only take so much.... and actually on the long travel ody, i am planning on using a reduction case out of a modern sled as to A) allow much more power, and B) add reverse in the trans.

if you get a newer sled, there is no mechanical reverse in the chain case any more, it is all electronic. it actually works by stopping the motor, and firing it in reverse so that the motor runs back wards, and the clutch is just a double helix so that it engages both ways.

it would be the way to go because it saves you almost 15 to 20 lbs worth of gears in the chain case, and less parts to brake.

well given the fact that i am on a limited budget and already have an engine in place, a mechanical reverse is really the only option for me.... but definately good to know...
