Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

OK I posted about doing a mod to change to a different front suspension and a disk brake. I guess that solution is beyond the amount to cash I can (should) spend right now. Has anyone experimented with ways to improve the stock suspension. It seems to have a sad lack of rebound damping. I'm wonderin...

Thanks DIO that would be the way to go. A lot of bucks when I only paid $550 for the scooter lol One of the things I have noticed about the front suspension is that it has little rebound damping. I am going to investigate the possibility of finding maybe something from a small 4 wheeler to replace t...

I have a vibration from the front brake on the BK bike. I am suspicious that the drum is warped. Has anyone had that problem before?

an Engine section with sub groups for Stock bore BBK and Stroker would also be helpful and I don't think it would be a lot of work for the ADMINS All the old posts wouldn't have to be moved, just a place for posts moving forward I need to learn a lot more about various BBK kits and it would be good ...

Thanks for the info Wheel man and Graphite where did you get your jet index set?

I put Technigas pipe on my stock de-restricted 2001 Elite. http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt246/alexintenn/Scooter/Finished-2.jpg I had already put in an 85 main jet. So I did a trial run. Got 380-390 with a max temp of http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt246/alexintenn/Scooter/IMG_01711.jpg NO...

I have seen some elites with a "standard" motorcycle front suspension and a front disk brake. I think it might have been a Canadian model. But I have also read that the frames were different on those models. Does anyone know if those parts interchange with my 2001 Elite S ? Where would I b...

I'm interested in this topic too. I am working on a BBK bike that I plan to take on some real curvy roads and I am pretty sure I will need more brakes.

I see Snowman has already got his tires done but this info might be useful to others who check this thread.

There are dozens of tube and tubeless tires avail at Ron Ayers I chose this one http://www.ronayers.com/Kenda-K413-Performance-Scooter-Tire-FrontRear-300-10-P168267C71.aspx I did have to call them to find out if it was a tube type tire. It doesn't take any time to get someone on the line who knows w...

The second one looks very similar to my Technigas, I also have a V8 on another bike. The V8 is louder for sure ! The technigas is almost as quiet as the stock pipe

Thanks guys. I just bought another bike with a BBK so maybe this pipe will end up on that bike. The BBK bike has a V8 which I'm assuming is also too much pipe for a stock bore. Plus the V8 is a bit loud for an around town errand type bike, but d*** the BBK bike does run ! I'm guessing it has about d...

I have a de-restricted Elite 50, 2001. You can read about what I have done in the "Best Bang for the Buck" threads. But it is a stock bike with the air box mod, an 85 main jet and a Keli variator. I just guessed at the main jet size based on my reading here. I got a good deal on a Techniga...

Search for my "Bang for the Buck" threads where I have detailed pics about exactly the job that you are doing. Most of your questions are covered. On a stock motor I wouldn't recommend changing the gear ratios unless it is really flat ground where you live. At least do the other mods befor...

Not yet out is on a scoot I am thinking about buying
