Default clutch?

hi, i got everything i need to make my bike, except the clutch. Do anybody know what type of clutch would fit on a generator's motor? It's a 4-stroke of 120cc i think... 5,5hp

thanks.

Based on the information you have provided the output shaft is probably 3/4 in. Check out the offerings from MaxTorque they make a quality product with just about every driver you can think of.

I got a centrifugal go kart clutch off ebay. Haven't attached it yet, but I think that's the best way to go.

I've often wondered about how 5.5 horses would feel on a bike. Please keep us posted!

should feel smooth and "accelerative" heheh :P

but i think i'll put a very small sprocket so i can get high speeds... i'm not sure... very hesitating between speed or off-road.... but my bike is made for speed (hybrid w/ almost slick tires)

ps: thanks for advices!
