Hey guys, What type of acceleration difference are you going to see with a big bore kit? Top speed is great and all...but when it takes abosolutely forever to get up to that top speed.....well thats not as fun to me. Especially when you are driving around town in stop and go traffic....I'll take acc...

Hey guys,

So I siphoned my gas tank and drained out the carb. Made up another batch of pre-mix using a different type of oil...and no smoke issues anymore. I'm guessing it was the oil?

Also, I've always used Honda oil that I pick up from the local shop...but I'm curious if it is even possible to run any type of 2-cycle oil for small engines? im not willing to say if you shood ... as for the pre mix it is a little richer in oil then it wood be running the Oil Pump so dont freek ou...

Motor oil is all you need.

Will it hurt if I currently have gear oil in there? Should I drain it and replace with motor oil?

don't remember what bike your running ??? .. are you running 32/1.... swimmingfree Its a 2001 Honda Elite S. Yes I'm running 32:1 exactly. Even have a little bottle that measures it out perfect. It runs great. No hesitation. Idles great. Cold starts perfect. Just was a bit concerned about the smoke...

I recently deleted the Oil Pump and started running pre-mix. It seems to be putting off a good bit of white smoke at idle and WOT. Is this a sign of the carb needing to be tuned?....or is this normal when you run pre-mix? Or is it running rich/lean? I still have the stock carb w/ .88 main jet. It cr...

I've seen a lot of debate regarding the use of 10w 30 Motor Oil or regular gear oil for the primary/secondary gears.

Whats the advantages/disadvantages of either/or?

What would you guys say is the most modest reliable proven Big Bore Setup that requires no machine work or heavy modification?

I'm talking head/piston, size carb, size/type exhaust, intake, etc.

Never leak tested the plug. Seemed like a lot of people do it. ill just shim it.

When you guys delete the oil pump and run pre-mix, once the plug is inserted and a washer is used to keep it in.....I've noticed there is about 1/8th inch of space between the plug and the washer. When I crank the scooter....I notice that the plug bounces up and down against the washer. Is this a no...

Anyone?

Looking to buy a replacement nut for my 2001 Elite S...didn't know if it could be found at your local hardware store.

Hey Guys, So trying to get these 9:1 gears offically installed. Noticed that I only have the 9:1 secondary gearset. Did not realize I did not have the main gear shaft that needs to be pressed in. Where can I find the 9:1 main gearshaft and how much do they run? Does anyone on here sell them? 2001 Ho...

Hey guys...curious as to which way the clutch outer bell nut needs to be turned to be loosened and removed. Clock or counter-clock? Its been awhile and I forgot!

Any recommendations (or links) on where to get the V8, OKO and UNI filter?
