Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Thanks, I'll look into the seafoam. Ok... I rode the spree today to a friends house. Took maybe 5min. at 20-25mph, friends and thier older kids rode it around the block(I drank 1 beer), about 15min. rode it home in the same manner & when I pulled into the driveway it died. The bike is clean, fan...

I changed out the reeds of my 84 spree with a set that I pulled out of another spree(86), the SB50 is an 89 that I haven't messed with yet other than see if there was a variator in the drive train... there wasn't :cry: It was listed as an 89 elite "E" for sale, but the VIN tag says it's a ...

So the sb50p was the entry level elite(replacing the spree), and the sa50e was the better motor & drive unit. Do I have this right? From what I can find on the web, both look similar in appearance. Am I right with that assumtion? So will plastic from an "e"work for both? By the way... ...

I was wondering what the differance is between a SA50 and a SB50P. I just picked up a 89 SB & was going to do a parts list for it. I have the SA service manual from this site and was wondering what the differance was. I see minor changes like frame and front fork design, but what about plastic a...

Okay... Discount Honda parts website said the reeds are no longer available from Honda.... anyone know where I can get new reeds for a 84 spree?

Just wondering... is there a newer motor that will bolt into the 84 spree frame w/no mods... like maybe a 89 elite 50 complete motor?

Vacuum leak... didn't think of that, but now that you mention it... I think I'll start there. The belt is nowhere near 1mm from the outside of the rear pulley!!!! More like 12mm!! The front is about 4-5mm from the outside. New belt is on the way! Thanks noiseguy & berreta22, I knew you 2 would h...

It looks fine to me. I'm going to change the reed and gaskets as soon as the parts come in. I'll keep that in mind when I install them.
Thanks.

I would like to say this is a GREAT site. Thanks for all the tech help and mod ideas. I do know enough about motors & bikes to be dangerous & I'm mechanically inclined. I just got the '84 spree as a pit bike for the races off a 14y.o. kid who didn't take care of it, for a c-note. I cleaned t...
