Re: Building 2 Big Bore Spree's

Last fall, I finally gave in and purchased 2 pipes and modified them to fit. They are a little louder but flow 100% better. They now run cleanly from bottom to top. I look forward to using them this spring and on our vacation this summer. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj112/1daddyrat/CIMG243830...

Air leak Stage 3 big bore?

I finally went to SOS and got my Michigan registation tags for the scooters. I worried that one of the vin's might come back stolen from years ago, but they didn't, and are now legal. Yesterday, I decided to start them for the first time. One started and ran good. I ran it down the street and back a...

Re: Building 2 Big Bore Spree's

I guess I am going to keep the stock exhaust and keep it quiet. I would like to come up with some sort of heat shield for it.

Re: Building 2 Big Bore Spree's

Are you still using stock cutch springs? .. I wonder how much the stock pipe hurts the performance of the kit. Nice builds :-) Thanks Pineapple, I am using the stock clutch springs, I guess I didn't even think about them. I can imagine that the stock pipes are terrible for performance. I generally ...

I have been working since the last post on the original red Spree. I completely tore the thing down and cleaned it. I installed the three stages and finished putting it back together tonight. I still need to get the Michigan moped registration stickers so I haven't rode them yet . I have spent every...

Re: Building 2 Big Bore Spree's

Thanks guys, I spent alot of time wondering what I was going to do with that left side panel. I didn't think that the carb and intake would fit under the cover. The right side panel on the other side is in pretty rough shape.. I rubbed it out and used touch up paint. I guess I am going to keep the s...

Hello, I have been lurking on this site for a while with an interest in a new hobby with my soon to be 15 year old son. I thought that running around town, or on vacations on scooters might be a fun thing for us to do. I have always admired the Spree's from way back but never persued the interest. I...
