Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

My half moon gear has a weld or something on the 2nd tooth (from the start of the worm gear) so that when the kickstart is pulled back to its resting position by the spring the stop on the case where the half moon gear hits is actually 1/2in from resting. Is the half moon gear supposed to have a wel...

I removed the driven face gear from the crankshaft by wedging a wrench between the case and the gear to hold it. Once the nut is off pay attention to how all washers are oriented, then remove the gear. I found that it is easier than removing the clutch (requires special tool, homemade tool, or an oi...

Thanks for the info, yeah I definitely agree the registration and title are worthy investments opposite the fees I would pay in tickets. I dont ride that often and take mainly backroads for the time being. I will title it once I get paid again since it increases the value

Portland OR / Vancouver WA is where I reside, and it is Beautiful here. Our winters get snowy about every 3 years, the summers 90-100s at the peak (Aug), and the rain that we get makes for green trees, hills, and clean water. Crime is not that bad here, schools are good, and economy along the northe...

Im trying to find out how many Spree / Elite 50 riders are here in the Portland OR / Vancouver WA metropolitan area - Who all rides regularly in these parts? I frequently take trips from Vancouver to Beaverton OR over the west hills and through the zoo. My Portland routes and frankly some of my Vanc...

Greetings and Oiy =). I live here in Vancouver WA man, riding an 86 Spree black on black a lil Skellied Out. Still stock motor, so 25mph is the cruise with 28-30 my top end. Im down here on Millplain close to downtown. PM or reply if You want to ride sometime

Top of the morning, sorta =). I was wondering if anyone here on the board lives here in the Portland / Vancouver metropolitan area? I was wanting to do a group ride sometime to get out there and meet other riders. Is it possible to do group rides on a 25-30mph Spree??? I see the Vespa group meets in...

Hey I have an 86 Spree without a title - it has the license plate for Oregon and my buddy owned it before I bought it for $200 because he tore it apart and couldn't put it back together. He was pulled over crossing from Vancouver WA to Portland going over the I-5 bridge on the bike path... The offic...

Awesome looking guages, the express speedos... Definately that clean vintage industrial look I am after.

I have an 86 Spree that I have stripped the Upper & Lower Guage / headlight plastics off of, Stripped the fender, and cut the Rear fairings. They're on my deck today and I am in the process of [60grit to 220grit wet to TSP/dawn soap bath] prepping for flat black rustoleum primer coat. I am plann...

Really 5-10 dollars? That isnt too bad - the pipes were cut clean and needs about 2in of linear welds (circular) around the seams. That is probably more cost effective too than using heater hose or some high temp non-rigid flex pipe. Does the stock pipe utilize more backpressure than the 66cc motor ...

I have a dilemma - I had been using some 66cc motorized bicycle engine exhaust pipe connected to my stock downpipe, until it failed on me the other day. The welds on the muffler canister from china failed and dropped my can in the street the other day =P. Now I have about 23" of horizontal pipi...

If maintaining average speeds of 25-30 at full throttle what type of fuel mileage could a stock NQ50 spree range in? I have yet to do a formal test on my mileage... I am running most of my errands at full throttle down back roads or in d*** bike lane. I figured it should be right around 60 MPG but u...

I bought an AX24 about a week ago from CostLess Auto Parts here in Vancouver, WA. It was a Goodyear brand and I had it put through a 'Thickness Caliper?' at the auto parts store before I paid for it. Have it checked for uniformity. Mine was a direct swap to the 86' Spree I ride. I had to clean the p...

I see, is it common for SA50 / SE50 (elite?) front forks to be swapped to the SB50 Spree frame? If so do they swap the handlebars (tree?) as well?
