Going electro magnet would mean you need electricity to keep it engaged. Not good for MPG. Of course, if you can reverse it, then you only need electricity to coast.

I wonder if the grom engine would fit...

A/c clutch is the most common. There is probably normally engaged clutches for some other application right? It would be interesting regardless.

fwiw, the ac clutch coil is like 2 to 5 ohms, like a 50 watt load. might not be a big deal if it solves more problems than it creates.

scanning this, it looks like you can expect very roughly about 80 foot/lbs from an automotive ac clutch.

in perspective, you could put one on the output shaft of a ninja 250, and if you never used first gear you might get away with it.

they make larger magnetic clutches though, in some AWD, or a larger vehicle in need of AC.

edit: I think probably the "grind the detent cam" so you have a half click neutral between all the gears approach would be a lot easier to implement, if you know where/how to grind.


keep in mind that most motorcycle trannys aren't properly lubricated for lots of miles unless the engine is running (or you have made other provisions).
