Torque reaction is common in any reciprocating system. Generally speaking, you get torque reaction when the rotating mass is changing velocity (applying throttle would be an example). I am more familiar with high performance cars and motorcycles, but the energy (torque) has to have something to react against, usually a fixed, stationary object (like the ground). If one were to apply throttle aggressively, but gradually, torque can be managed. If the system is at max RPM and has stabilized, torque reaction should be controllable) P-factor anyone? [Yeah I know, gyroscopic issues apply here too... aren't airplanes fun?]

An R-985 on a KR 2? Yea, right." I didn't even think about the humor angle Larry and I hope you are right. I will never believe that my Sube will ever cause a torque issue as the .org/info.html
