Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

yeah its because your using the stock ramp plate.so the rollers have just a little play.take the pulley out and hold the ramp plate and pulley and shake it.you hear the rollers shake a little.I thought you were going to put that pulley in your dio? It will be going into the 01 SR.. i just wanted to...

Welp, i put the OKO variator on my 88 Honda elite LX. I had to use the stock ramp plate. I used the guides and whatever weights came with the new variator. It went only 31mph. It did 28 tops before but thats with the stock variator and some trashed stock weights that were worn down to metal hehe. So...

lol.. Cant give up that easily.. Give it some gas! Turn the throttle a little while your kicking it.. make sure your holding the brake in while your starting it... unless that dont apply to kick start. Though you have to hold the break in durring electric start. * it took my 88 elite about 10 mins t...

Wow, boy am i glad i seen this post! My 88 Honda Elite LX has that #6 plate. in about 2 hours i'm going to be putting in a new OKO variator. I remember seeing that plate #6 and thinking how in the crap does the rollers move as it looked like that plate would prevent it from opening up that much. I d...

Go here and buy the real thing. http://www.cyclepartsnation.com/pages/p ... Honda.aspx

Some interesting mirrors can be found here for cheap. http://stores.shop.ebay.com/alluneed-sc ... kw=mirrors. The guy just sold me 2 sets for $36 shipped.

If you dont care about damaging the paint, then go ahead and use a metal hammer.. But yeah, you really should take the wheel off or risk bending the center of the rim and then your screwed.

Thanks! That will make it easier on fine tuning the weights in the future when i do.

Make a video and post it on youtube of it runing so we can hear it when its done. What exaust are you gona be putting on it?

Yeah call.. I dont think he will be mad if he wants cash and your a serious party. Prob just dont want a whole lot of people calling him that are just asking questions ext. You know how hard it is to sell stuff on craigs. Alot of the time you get the run around. Just explain right off the bat that y...

Looks f'n awesome man! Gota be exciting forsure to hear it run for the first time and ride that baby!

Crazy!

adjust the air screw all the way in i did and got to 38mph on my 95. have you checked the CHT after doing this? or a recent plug chop? Yeah would'nt that make it run too lean with the screw all the way in?? Yeah i hav'nt messed with mine yet. Fine tuning will come once its fully up and runing. Stil...

Actually, just now i realized that the rollers look different from what i'm seeing online. And now it all makes sense. The rollers are bare to the metal. meaning the material that usually encases the metal roller is gone! Thats the stuff (Plastic film) i seen melted on the inside of the variator tha...

What a nightmare.. Just realized this now that my rollers are all toast. All bare to the center of the roller! Just the metal lol. No wonder the thing is only going 28MPH max.

I need to know what the stock roller weight is on the 88 Honda Elite LX?? Is it 8.5 Grams?

you need those ramp plate guides in there.the ramp plate will eat at the variator and you will have metal shavings in the trans area and you will damage the ramp plate.Don't run it with the guides out. Thanks for the info. I thought maybe it was just to help dampin any rattle noise but i didnt hear...

Sorry the speedo cable was cut so i could'nt say how slow it was going so.. Anyways, tonight i got a brand new speedo cable on the Elite and at night took it down the street. Looks like i have my work cut out as it toped out at only 28MPH. :( New rings and crank and even a new spark plug and new was...
