Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I am running the Polini pod filter. I was told to not oil that filter, is this correct? I will swap out the tire this week hopefully.

I definitely need to upgrade the vari and maybe look for some gears. There's good power, I'd just like to be closer to 40 then the 33-35 range. I'm also wondering if the back tire size might be an issue, it came with a 2.5 I'm thinking a 3.0 might be a little bigger and help with speed? Thoughts?

Thanks Wheelman! New temp gauge is on order! I am planning on using my laser temp 'gun' tonight to see how some jetting helps or hinders... I was thinking 40 with that carb might be possible. I am wondering if anyone else out there has any experience jetting an SE50 with a Polini carb? Doesn't the s...

I guess I was just expecting a little closer to 40 after reading meatball's posts on here and with my Polini CP carb. I will do a WOT run and check my plug and maybe jet up a bit. I have up to a 98. What would you guys recommend jetting be on a stock SE50 with a Polini 19mm? Also one thing to note i...

Hi all I swapped in a 93 Elite motor and it's great. My issue is I am topping out at 35 but am only at 1/2 throttle at best... I am using a polini 19mm carp with the smallest pilot jet I have and an 80 main jet. When I give it full throttle it almost sounds a little hollow and feels weaker than when...

I pulled the bell housing off and things spin free but when I put it back on something isn't spinning freely.

Hello everyone! I finally got my Spree road worthy after many attempts. I swapped in a SA50 variated motor... What a difference! I rode to work and back today. My ride this AM was great (though she was trying to idle a little high) but when I got home the back tire seemed like it was locked up and w...

Oh man... I got mine done finally (just have to get my panels on). Thanks ks for the help meatball! This thing is 100% better! Gets to 35 in NO TIME! Now I just need to find what seems to be an air leak as she idles a little high no matter what I do.

Fun stuff!

Meatball, what did you do for wiring? I seem to have an extra green wire.... Well 2 extra green and one yellow but two of those are for the bistarter I'm not using since I have a manual choke on my after market carb. I have to get some longer fuel lines and figure out the extra wire then I should be...

Thanks for the help on here. I went with an Elite swap... Still working out the shock and clearance issues then will get her wired and install my Polini CP carb and hope for the best!

Hi everyone! I am having a hard time getting my BBK to be solid... I have a couple of threads on it... Time to start over. I'm looking to replace my motor and am hoping to spend right at $300. Anyone got any suggestions? I have a solid carb. I'm looking to get to 35-40 (40-45 would be AWESOME). I ha...

Ya, it's not carb related... I've tried about every combo of main and slow jets and no results. I think it's compression related. It has no power when trying to rev. I need to grab a compression tester and see. I am thinking screw it, it's time for a swap... Something a little more reliable.

My biggest problem however seems to be at WOT it doesn't seem to want to "wind up". I am wondering if its my BBK or something. It never seems to run what I would consider hot... the hottest I have seen while running is around 215. After turning it off I have seen temps hit 265-275 without ...

It's a Polini CP from G9. I'll try to down her and see what I can make it do.

Trying to tune without much luck... I have NO top-end power after 15mph. After riding for a couple minutes sometime it bogs at low speeds under throttle. I have tried main jets from 98 all the way down to 90. No improvement. Temps are staying between 185-205 depending on jet and scenario and sometim...
