Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

update, my cyl skirt is cracked on the front (exhaust). is there any hope of repair? i took it to a machine shop down the street and they said they couldnt fix it. have anyone ever dealt with this?

thanks wheelman, ill guess i need to decide which riding i do most

85 aero 72cc, what spring would you recommend? i am debating between 1k and 1.5k

hm weird, oh well. i guess anything is better over stock?

i did a better measuring job on the jug its, 47mm. and i think i found the variator on ebay but it says dio, it was the only one with the ramps on the out most edge. possible match? http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPEED-VARIATOR-KIT-HONDA-SFX-X8R-DIO-SGX-BALI-ZX-TUNING-/280960094479?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Acc...

wasnt sure if this should go in performance or not. anyway picked up an aero on a trade. has a polini kit on it, unsure if its 65 or 70 and some wm "performance cam" variator. included are a couple pictures. also is this a stock head or a polini as well? thanks guys and hope all you pnwers...

Bear unless you have something good to say don't post on my thread. Anyone else have any input.

thanks for the imput paul. this will also be temporary, untill i track down a ruckus engine. just wanted something a little faster in the meantime and to experiment with. do you know what compression you are running?

they dont do o-rings and those work. so im sorry i dont see a valid point...?

if an o-ring would hold what about rtv with no hg? i guess basically my question is the width of the hg larger than the allowance of shaving the head?

Oh really porting it won't increase compression? Well No s*** hick. Ok so have a grove machined for an oring. I just thought I had heard people running without a hg is why I asked. Any feedback on trying this?

I was reading a post someone did with a bbk kit and no hg. But is it too much to run a nq50 86 with no hg. Also planning on porting exhaust as well as intake. Hoping for higher compression to even out the pully mod. Is it too much compression?

Maybe I'll post a video. I know cars well but I'm not very knowledgeable about bikes

Thanks so much for your help. I'll check the timing tomorrow. Do you think those things could contribute to the knockin sound when warm at idle or could it me something mechanical?

Sorry forgot to say I throughly cleaned the carbs.
