Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Thanks a lot, mousewheels. I've seen people around with boxes a bit bigger than the Rubbermaid one you posted, but they're usually on the notably larger rear rack of their Super Cub. Having an extension like Bear45-70's got would be quite nice to have. I've already got a canvas bag that I tote my to...

Hey all, Chad in Japan here. It's been a while since I've been around. Partially because I moved and got rid of my Dio. Well, I moved again and picked up another Dip and have been thinking about making a relatively large box to hold my tools as I am currently working as a carpenter. If there's alrea...

Hey guys, thanks for getting back at me. I had the bike shop check it out. And it turned out to be... a bees' nest in the muffler!!! They charged me about $10 to clean it out. I'll be around Japan for another year or so. So, if you guys would like to get your hands on any original parts, let me know...

Hey guys, it's been over 3 years since my first post on this forum and I'm back with a new(er) Dio. I ended up giving the scooter to my boss because he was strapped for cash and sold his car and I didn't want haul it with me when I moved. Then, I found out that he didn't use it. Then, he gave it to ...

Thanks for the help guys. I know the guys who sold me the scooter topped off the oil, but I didn't pay attention to the exact level at the time. I'm pretty sure it was nearly full when I got it about a month ago. I'm hoping that I just need to turn the oil screw down a bit. Also, I failed to mention...

I like the idea of the water bottle holder in the foot well. heh, thanks. It would be MUCH more useful if I didn't have a full-face helmet... It's good for keeping a drink cold until I get to my destination. I just found the bottle holder laying in the driveway, popped the screw off, and put it bac...

http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s314/lilbacon3/DSCF9342.jpg I'm pretty sure I'm burning oil fairly quickly. I rode about 20 minutes last night at 20-30mph, parking for 2 hours, and rode back a little slower b/c I noticed the smoke (and oil light) on the ride to my destination. I found that the o...

Death trap!
Be careful on them ternz!

Thanks, I don't think I'd ever be riding a scooter on the backroads of Japan. Also, nice work volunteering to teach 5th graders English. Think happy thoughts and anything can happen! And thank you, I really enjoy working with kids. It's fun and rewarding. Hopefully, my visa will go through quickly ...

Get yourself a helmet cam and a wind sock. Yea, it's a bit windy. I thought it was better than dubbing over the sound with a poor-quality pop song. I think annoying wind sounds better than pop music anyhow. :P Why would a need a wind sock? I know that the wind will be blowing from my front to back ...

Man, 33 views and nobody had anything to say?
Not even a "This thread sucks" photo?

I have a YouTube channel (ItchyKneeSon) that I try to keep up with regularly. My most recent upload is a short video in which I take my Dio down some roads in Japan. Feel free to check out my other videos and subscribe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEL8Bq_oDpk Thanks for checking it out! -Chad Shi...

I just got a true reading with no 3km descents with the engine off. Also, I noticed that sometime last week, my throttle feels much easier to twist. I can now easily take off with one finger. Maybe the throttle cable had been gunked up or a little rusty from sitting. I have no idea how long it actua...
