Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Another update: 1) My dumb a** checked just the front tire and not the back, the rear tire actually is a 2.75 already. 2) going up the hill to my buddy's house to help him install a BBK on his chinese p.o.s. I shredded my belt. I thought something more serious happened, but just opened the covering ...

That's very helpful and something I was expecting. Do you think I could run a 3" tire or go for a 2.75" and call it good, right now I'm on stock 2.5"

Do you think the BBK in combination with a new pipe will alleviate most/all of the restrictions?

So today I popped into the local scooter shop and chatted with the guy working there, and he is convinced that my bike's CDI is rev limited. For a refresher, my bike is the restricted "E" model, not the free running "ES." Could this be one of the sources of the obvious accelerati...

I've found tazland's set on ebay, its a 48mm kit. What would be the other thing to do along with this kit to squeeze all I can from this setup? (intake, anything with the transmission, exhaust, anything else?)

I would love to do some of these mods, could someone please tell me where I could find a kit to fit this engine? I would love to know where all of these parts can be purchased. Also, I don't really know what a pulley mod is.

No I didn't, all I was doing was checking for a washer here (\./) in between the two variator components. (don't think I found one) Just to be clear, is that the engine out of an Elite S? also, could you tell me some things I can do to this engine to make it perform better? sounds like there is an a...

Ok I've got my pictures hosted here http://s1181.photobucket.com/albums/x439/MagggotMan/ I took off the body panels because a friend of mine is painting a mural on them...Here I go making scooter riders look bad... I always thought the engine looks like it fit the bike, but maybe thats just cause it...

I was reading some more and I feel that getting an exhaust from an Elite S or an elite R would be good in enhancing the engine's performance, along with an up-jet. Also, I feel like a new variator setup would be greatly useful in grabbing 40. I know that nothing should be done without first figuring...

Well I do need something that is capable of speeds near the 40-45mph mark, I've lost the middle finger count already in 3 weeks of ownership... Something that follows that increase in top speed with increased acceleration would be welcome but not mandatory, I seem to keep up with the cars until I hi...

I can tell you right now that it is not capable of 45 now, the fastest we've ever clocked it is 33 going down a hill. Nevertheless, I have now decided that I would like to attempt an(other) engine swap. I would love to be able to have a 75-80cc engine in there, or something similar that allows me to...

Ok so I've figured out with 100% authenticity that my scooter IS variated (I saw it with mine own eyes)! I've not seen anyone on the internet that agrees with me and I'm just putting it out there that there is a variator in the 1989 Honda Elite E. If there is a restrictor I still don't know where it...

Ok so I just picked up a 1989 Honda Elite E. Almost everything works (except the speedo and odometer) but I've come to realize its pretty slow to be cruising in Atlanta traffic. I would like to do some mild performance improvements that would bring the top speed from 30 to maybe 40+? I'm convinced I...
