A motorcycle power transmission assembly including an engine, a transmission, a drive assembly, and a starter assembly. The engine includes a crankcase, and the transmission includes a transmission case coupled to the crankcase to define an engine-transmission assembly. The drive assembly includes a drive housing coupled to the engine-transmission assembly to define a drive chamber. The drive housing including an opening, and the drive assembly further includes a starter gear. The starter assembly is mounted to the drive housing and includes a nose portion that extends through the opening. The nose portion includes a pinion gear adapted to engage the starter gear.

A compensator assembly for a motorcycle engine including a hub and a compensator coupled to the engine crankshaft. The compensator is axially moveable along the crankshaft axis and a sprocket is supported for rotation with respect to the crankshaft. Cam surfaces on the compensator and the sprocket cooperate to transfer engine torque from the crankshaft to the sprocket. A spring biases the compensator into engagement with the sprocket and a resilient member is positioned between the hub and the compensator to resiliently limit axial movement of the compensator toward the hub. Torque pulses from the engine are damped by allowing relative rotation between the sprocket and the crankshaft.
