Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

It's been so long since I've ridden the 85/6 Gyro that I can't rreally remember But I do know the footpeg mount on the latter Gyros is a bit more comfy, while the seat on the earlier ones is better. As for handling, honestly can't tell you which one is better. Does the 85-6 handle better than 84 bec...

Thanks. Just missing the rear bumper now....

Thanks. Yeah it's in pretty dam good shape. As far as the carb access cover it has some tape underneith holding it on, just for good measure. Your right those factory tabs are about worthless. I too prefer the looks of the 85 to 86 Gyro's but the more I look at this bike in person, the more I'm liki...

Picture of the rear and the bumper im missing. Doubt I will ever fine one. Yes the plate is the original and was last tagged in 1985.

Just wanted to share my latest addition to the Honda fleet. A very nice 1984 Honda Gyro NN50MD. 3198 miles on it, runs good after a carb clean but still needs a new battery. New pet *...ouch...expensive and a new hub cap for the rear..On the way from the honda dealer. Still missing one piece. The re...

Well. checked for air leaks, non detected. sprayed carb cleaner while running around the cylinder base gasket,head gasket,intake,carb to intake, ect... no noticable change in the idle. did a copression check cold 125 psi. Wet compression test is 154 psi. have not done one warmed up. May be a possibl...

thanks for the info, I will check for an air leak first. If not then I will order some jets.

The jet is a #68 that I'm running as of right now and it's still lean.

I have my 84 spree that's been slightly modded. Non Iowa exhaust,unmodded domed piston from an 86 intake and reeds from and 86 intake has been portmatched for better flow stock 84 cylinder head exhaust port silghtly ported for a bit better flow bigger 2.75 rear tire bigger main jet Spree starts and ...

Thanks Hammer. You made some good points. I don't know what years the exhausts came from. Both are the same. One of them was on my 84 when I got it. Not saying it's original, just that it was on when I bought it. It does seem to me that is running rich with the larger jet but have not a chance to do...

As I said, A compression check is in order. Thanks. And yes Honda's will run fine with low compression, scored rings and cylinder. Seen many like that. A testament to their quality.

No compression check done yet. With my experience with honda's It runs too good to have very low compression. Not saying that it's not 100%, just that it starts easy, runs good and seems to have very good performance. Besides the obvious issues now. But yeah a check is in order to rule that out. Wha...

Do you have the stock spree intake and reeds? Try some from an elite e. (sb50) They flow better and may work better with the 68 jet. Yeah, it's running the stock reeds and intake. Isn't the elite intake a Non-vacuum port intake? Meaning I'd have to drill a place for the vacuum line for the petcock,...

and....one more.
