Zenith 701 with a Suzuki Geo
Hello everyone. I am considering putting a 2022 Suzuki Raven Redrive 1300svs on my 701 build. What experience does anyone have with this engine conversion? I have heard it said that it is a little heavy, What do you think?

I know zip about that engine but isn't the company defunct? Does it use generic parts in the redrive so that it won't be a problem on parts for an orphan?

Yes, they went under a few years ago. I understand that they are serviceable but I just discovered that it is too heavy for my needs.
Cheers
