Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

naw, its a good idea, and it looks pretty good. Riding in the rain oil on the filter works fine. Plus i try not to ride in the rain much

My garage works just fine, but it was a lot more expensive than a dollar. I didn't think people owned these things with a covered place to park

deffenitly need some new gears, and they aren't just drop in. You must first buy all the gears out of a dio block. Then you can get aftermarket dio gears.

only problem with that is would scratch very easily and polished aluminum can be a bit a bit of work to keep looking good

Probably 30 to 50 depending where you take it and what colors you get

If its electrical, it will die instantly. If its fuel it will bog and then die. Sounds like its electrical from your description. Get a rubber mallott and start tapping stuff. You probably have a bad connection somewhere. Or you have a short somewhere and your ignition is grounding out.

Your going to need some major mods to get much faster at all.

the aero i have doesn't have an ignition lock, So it has an ordinary switch. Turn the stitch on and hit the start button. When finished, turn the switch off and then hit the kill switch up by the throttle

to the 2.6? balance be a problem? probably more work and trouble than it's worth i suppose.

I don't think that would work.

well that sucks. I know a guy that will do machining for me for free, but if it can't be done, it can't be done.

oh well. Im probably already going faster than i should be on a spree frame and hopefully i'll be going even faster, soon, with my bigger carb coming tomorrow.

The rotating assembly on the dio is 2.9 inches the se50 is 2.6 Huge difference! It will never work....there is not enuff room inside the se50 case for a dio crank. gotcha, and that it would hit could not be dremelled out? edit: http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx159/trafficjamz2/100_0370.jpg is t...

so i could just use that wrist pin and have someone machine the crank to fit the variator? I know the stroke is longer, thats what im after.

I'm just wondering what the difference is between the 80's elites cranks and the dio's. I looked at an exploded diagram and they use the same picture, but ive heard people say they aren't the same. Just wondering if its possible to put a stroker crank in my scooter or if they are 100% totally differ...

From what I understand that carb is massively oversized. Whether that actually hurts performance, I don't know. Have you done a plug chop at various speeds?

Only thing I can think of is the.voltage drop from having to turn the motor, but that doesn't make sense because the charging system and the ignition system are not electrically linked. Maybe you kick faster than the starter motor
