Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I have very lightly opened up the intake and exhaust with a dremel grinder bit, other than that, stock carb, jets, SE two step stock mufflers. The larger tires added 4-5mph over the stock tires as they are over an inch taller in diameter. The 90/90-10 tires did completly kill my take off though, it ...

I have a couple of questions about my two 87 SE50S scoots, first is what is the engine pressure suposed to be. Both run/start/idle fine, is was just curious the other day as to why one is 5mph faster than the other. The faster one has 90psi and the slower on is 83psi. I am using a snap-on gage and a...

i just installed a set of pirelli SL26 size 90/90-10 tires on my elite 50S, the parts guy at the dealer told me they would be slightly bigger than the stock 2.75"-10 tires. much to my surprise, the tires when mounted are a full 3.75" wide and 1.25" taller in overall diameter, front ti...

post how it goes, i am considering the same thing, i also found out that steve at VT is having some aftermarket dio pipes modified to fit the 87.

anyone know what the difference between the 94-01 dio gear set and the 87 SE50 are? i have been looking at the diagams and they appear to be very similar, i know that they are not identical and therfore not exchangable, but could the 87 case be modified to accept the dio gear set? none of the diagra...

anyone know/try running a 3.00x10 tire on a 87 elite 50S? i am currently running 2.75x10 tires, and the Honda dealer claims I should be running 2.50x10, thought that was spree size only.

picking up tommorow, getting it for $250, will update condition after i go through it.

Anyone have an idea of what a running/complete/excellent condition gyro is worth? I have the opportunity to pick up this from my neighbor, he is original owner and it only has 1100 miles. I offered him $300 which he agreed to immediately, is this a total waste of money? I├óÔé¼Ôäóm thinking that its ...

just installed new factory rollers and i can not believe the difference. picked up 3-4 mph and my hole shot is much better. anyone know how often these should be checked or how long they last. based the total lack of maintenance from the previous owner, i would not be surprised if my rollers has 520...

i am looking at doing either a Proma Big Bore 63cc from VT Cycles or a POLINI BIG BORE CONTESTA KIT #119.0034 from ebay. any opinions as to which is better and why. from what i have read on this site, am i correct that i can use my stock exhaust and carb (drilled out main to 100)? i currently run 40...

i am in the process of rebuilding a 87 elite 50S and when i got to the clutches yesterday i found that the rollers all had flat spots, multiple flat spots on the same roller some nearly worn down to the to the metal. i ordered new weights from the dealer, but my question is when i removed my bad one...

thanks for the information, i can't stress enough how much help the members of this site have provided!

i confirmed that i do have a "S" model, anyone know what is needed to convert a normal 87 elite 50 into an "S" model? the only difference that i can see is that my exhaust pipe is 1/4" larger at the head and increases in diameter before entering the muffler. my brothers is t...

i am in need of several parts for a project 1987 elite 50. much to my horror, the previous owner must have had some trouble at some point and WELDED the geared clutch ring to the crank shaft! i should have known something was up because the kick starter was off, couldn't clear the new blob of weld. ...

could anyone tell me the difference between a 1987 SE50 and a 1987 SE50P. I have the SE50 and my scooter is significantly faster, nearly 40 mph, it has the factory 45 mph speedo. My brother just bought a 1987 SE50P, it looks identical to mine, same color engine/carb, etc. the only obvious difference...
