Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

90% of the time the carb is the issue. With only 50 miles everything is still new. I would start by purchasing a can of carb dip. Disassemble the carb and place the carb body in for a few days soak. After a few days, retreive carb body the blow out every little hole with compressed air. Polish the ...

You need the other style that does not have the blinkers attached to it.

Are you saying there is a basket that will fit the 84-86 front fairing properly?

some spree have the front leg fairing "Basket". Which ones have it and can it be installed on ones without it? The spree in the link has the front fairing "basket" i'm talking about. http://www.lakehillmotors.com/100_3209.JPG

couple questions

1. Can a drive clutch (front clutch) with a variator be put on the spree?
2. Can heavier springs be put in the driven clutch (rear clutch) to get it to engage a little later when the engine will be at higher rpm?

you messed with the engine....check compression

That seems to be the normal consensus. When mine was still running, from 0-15 I could have probably beaten a stock spree on my normal bike. Your 0-15 comment is probably true with mine. My Yamaha Razz could smoke my spree. Hmmmm wonder if the razz engine and tranny could swap into the spree? The ra...

I'm hopeing there is nothing wrong with mine. The belt is not slipping because the motor is not over reving. If I wer...

Any good way to scrub down the exhaust port with the engine still in the frame?

Have you messed with the air screw? I know I had my air screw too many turns out and I got a * take off. Put my air screw at about 1 turn out and problem solved.

Just put an order in for a new Honda belt. I wonder if one of the brakes are sticking creating the noise? Is this possible? You should cancel the stock belt and go buy an SAE cogged belt which is 1/2" X 24". It is a cheap speed secret and will give you some extra MPH. Part number for the ...

Could this be as simple as a worn belt?

Just picked up an 86 spree that is in pretty good shape, 1900 miles. It has been sitting for 3 years without being run. I got it running (exhaust tip was plugged with mud or mudd bee stuff), it actually seems to run good. I took it out for a spin and noticed a couple things, not sure if they are rel...
