Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Thanks for the replies... What are the effects of running too much oil? With the motor being stock, do I: 1. Just keep the oil pump zipped and not add any oil to the gas tank? or 2.

Muffler must have been really clogged, it smoked and the tip lit on fire for a few minutes. Bit scary to be honest, didn't want to melt it or anything. Soon as the smoking stopp...

Thanks for all the insights. I guess that's another reason for me to get my fat * in shape. I did the compression test on a cold motor so would it be any different if I tested the engine warm? Sorry, total noobie here. And if compression is indeed on the low side, would that mean I have to rebuild? ...

I have recently acquired a 2000 Elite 50 S with 426 miles. I have since been on this site trying to soak up as much info as I can with regards to modifications. My goal is to keep it as stock as possible and to be able to cruise at 40-45 mph. Here's what I've done so far: Checked compression - 120 p...
