Downsides are can cause accidental wheelies, and can load down a cammed engine if gear ratio is not right. Sometimes when replacing a clutch with a TQ when it shifts into high it will seem like motor is not revving, Usually need a gear change, which will make wheelie issue worse. The short wheelbase no suspension bikes are the most wheelie prone. I use mostly TQ's but have lengthened the swingarms on the worked clone engine bikes.
High frictional losses.
Two identical bikes one with a jack shaft and one with a TAV.
Off the line the TAV will be quicker but jackshaft bike will chase it down and pass.
Ratio is so important, application is important and tuning.
Most people are happy with a properly adjusted TAV system because of the wider selection of ratio it provides for general purpose driving.
Most drag bikes use a jack shaft or modified Sals 340 because they need something both stronger and more easily tuned for the track.
