finished my first bike build!!

yes they make centrifugal clutches for these, but i'm not sure how they work when it comes to getting the engine to start.
I would assume that you would have to get the bike up to a certain speed for the clutch to grab to get it started....I have no idea.

with a cent. clutch. you could take off the pedals and still be fine.

the clutch only engages at a certain rpm. its usually just above idle.
 
I like woodogg's idea... hit the kill switch!!! I'm beginning to think I should never have started this build for the neighbor. I'm constantly trying to tweak the bike to make it easier for hom to ride. I'm never gonna get there!!! My best hope is that he sells me the bike.

a centrifugal clutch would be your best bet, i haven't seen the quality of the cent. clutches for the ht engine. but i know from experience that cheap clutches can be very unreliable. if he doesn't really push the engine he should be fine though. it's when you race from a stop everytime that you put too much stress on the pads/springs.

and i noticed that you need a wider crank with the cent. clutch kit. all this can be found through google and such.
