Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Oh, you can ohm test this?

I will check that out tomorrow morning. I'll also take pics of mine and describe what its doing, cuz it moves in when you press on it, like the needle and brass piece have a spring on it, and the needle moves inward, inside the brass piece.

i must have an awesome spree and a * elite, cuz i feel very stable and fine at 30 on my spree, but my elite has a slight pull to the right that is hard diagnosing.

I was fixing it to sell it, but after having so much fun taking these apart, i'm thinking i'll just say screw the $400 I mighta gotten for it, and keep it. Maybe swap an elite motor into it.

I've been thinking of selling it for a year now. lol

Well maybe 5 minutes wasn't enough, but i measured before and after and it didn't move at all.

I'll try 10 minutes and see if that does it.

Hmmm, guess I could start taking apart my elite and spree and weight the motor/trans, and the rest of the bikes. that's a lot of work though. :p

Alrighty, thanks for the headsup. I was gunna bring the honda/matco belt to the store to see if they had an equivalent, but I bet your measurements will get me the results faster.

Well doesn't the bigger rear tire of the elite help stabilize the bike at higher speeds?

Anybody know what makes the elite so much heavier?

When you say you should have bolted the shock mount, do you mean drilling holes through the frame and bolting your 1.5" mount to it, instead of welding your 1.5" mount to the frame?

okay, that's what I tried. and I let it sit there for 5 minutes.

I'll go out and try 10 minutes, but i'm thinking its junk.

I'll take pics this time.

Ohh the filter and a new belt are also on the list of parts kenny.

can I also get the belt from a honda dealer?

oh crap, is this sticky thread exactly what i'm asking? http://hondaspree.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6536 I'm sorry guys, to salvage this thread as not complete junk, does anybody know where the bulk of the weight comes from between the spree and the elite? Is it in the motor and trans, or is it mor...

Okay, this probably is covered better elsewhere, BUT, can you swap in a elite motor and trans into a spree without having to make frame alterations? I know, I know, "ANYTHING CAN BE DONE WITH ENOUGH MONEY OR PATIENCE". Has anybody done this and covered it in another thread? I was just movi...

lol, yeah its got a heater from the previous owner. It makes it comfortable in about 15 minutes, tools will still be cold for another 15 or so. I painted the walls and ceiling white, installed 5 cool start double 4 foot fixtures, all new conduit, dedicated breaker for the compressor. Its kinda messy...

When a bystarter goes bad does it just stay moved out, with an extended needle? I tested mine, does it matter which wire is ground and which is positive? the needle was 3/8ths of an inch extended from the other brass looking cylinder when cold, and again 3/8ths after supplying power to it. Where do ...

HOLY CRAP. It was the filter box. I had it hooked up to the carb but I didn't have the filter in, or the lid on. Just threw the filter back in, snapped the lid shut, WOT, and she ran like a charm. Thank you guys for trouble shooting this problem with me. Learn something every day. Now I just gotta g...
