Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Alright, so for an update. I pulled the replacement starter to do a bench test and it spins perfectly in a counter-clockwise direction. Which I believe is the right direction. However when it is installed it just returns to the clicking. When I had the starter pulled I felt the gears inside and it s...

Hello again! I'm happy about finding an '84 Gyro NN50 but in the process of getting her goin I've found a couple of issues I could really use some help on. So before I even put gas in it I cleaned tank replaced fuel lines, spark plug, oil change etc. When I finally went to put gas in it I held the b...

Do you find the hesitation is also linked to the transmission shifting? I've had Gyro's which had shifting issues. 10-15 mph is about the right speed for it. There seems to be a pretty close correlation with the gyro shifting and seeing a loss of acceleration. Have you seen that with your gyro's? F...

Alright so... I have my Gyro running and it idles fine. The problems come when I'm riding it. SOMETIMES it will accelerate fine up to about 10mph... then it sort of peaks and won't accelerate for 20 seconds or so... then it will pick up and quickly get up to top speed. SOMETIMES it will be a slow ac...

Thanks a lot everyone! Smoke is decreased and almost non existent. I will head to the honda dealer and pick up some GN2 today! Another question: the gyro seems to lose power right around 10-15mph and then it will take quite a long time to accelerate up to top speed. Any ideas? I have the Gyro in pei...

Alright so I've been riding it off and on all throughout the day and the amount of WHITE SMOKE has decreased significantly! So more than likely it does just need to burn out. As far as the oil goes I want to change it considering the oil in it is 20+ years old. And forgive me if I come off as stupid...

awesome write up and awesome paint job. But....why didnt you put another NGK plug back in....there the same price as other plugs but are better for a honda....thats probably why it ran with all that crap...i know an autolite would have never ran in that condition. Im sorry you did a great job and i...

Hey guys, I just picked up a 1986 Honda Gyro on craigslist and since I've had it I've cleaned the carb, installed a brand new air filter, new battery, cleaned fuel lines and tank and I was pretty easily able to start it after that. The only problem is that a lot of white smoke is pouring out of the ...

Thanks Beno for the info . You did a great job on the paint how -to I wish you also did a seat how to . Do you think you could post the instructions you got with the seat cover and how difficult was it too install ? Are you happy with the seat cover ? Does it fit well ? Is the Honda logo on the rea...

Another quick question Do you have the name of the place you got the seat cover , I took another look and the black w/ the white pipeing looks great . And really goes with the bike perfect . Did it have the HONDA logo on the rear or did you put that on $ 20.00 bucks great price ... Looks good . I t...

Hey! So, a while back I asked if any of you would like a ÔÇ£how-toÔÇØ on paint jobs, some of you said yes, so here it is. Hopefully it can help some people out. I'm currently in the process of repainting by 87 Spree and figured I would make a how-to for painting your scoot. The reason I'm creating t...

I've used Krylon Fusion spray cans on my Spree and it seems to be holding up pretty well. Lightly sand all of it before hand, that way the paint will have something to grip on to. Just make sure and do plenty of coats especially on the floorboard.

Thanks!

I'll start working on a how-to post.

Hey,

First post!

I've used this site so many times I figured it's time I actually join and contribute.

I'm in the process of painting my Spree right now and wondered if I should make a how-to/step-by-step for the process? I'd be happy to if you all think it's a good idea.
