Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

i also notice that this break down shows part #17 never had this washer could this be the issue i am having. the online look up says #17 doesn't exist. FML!

as for the gear i put it on exactly the same as the stock one. also tried it both ways. one way binds into the case, and the other way binds into the cover.

Greetings: So now you know Where it binds, but Why? Is the axle from a stock SA50? If so the axle is going too far to the right, or the gear is too far down on the shaft. Shimming is not usually required; and this shaft is kind of critical. It holds the wheel after all. Stock shaft from a 95 Elite....

I think you might have put it on backwards. i have never seen one hit the case i repressed on the gear the other way with the lettering facing you/me/i and it spins nice, but once you button on the case the same thing... it gets smashed. now the 94+ up doesn't have a shim that rides on the outside ...

so i think i found the binding issue. the gear is be smashed into the inner side of the trans. pics below, any ideas. there is no possible way to shim things out. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h216/dem0nk1d/Honda%20Elite%20SA50/IMG_20150815_162945_zpszqnc0col.jpg http://i65.photobucket.com/album...

I removed the smaller gear and put the case back on. Still binding. I think the main Axel maybe sticking sticking out into the case past that raised bearing

i installed the plastic washer on the inside facing the engine, and the metal facing the case shown in pictures above. been reading the washers can be binding

I stalled the gears from the Stage 1 kit Scooter Swap Shop sells. Everything is of course straight forward, but can be a pain in the butt. First issue i had was installing the blue clutch shoe springs, they just fought and fought... But i got'em on. Then while taking the trans apart it was difficult...

Hundreds of miles

side by side comparison blue = elite 50 sliver = met the mets bead is so minimal http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h216/dem0nk1d/Honda%20Elite%20SA50/IMG_20150805_212723_zps4eccfwzy.jpg http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h216/dem0nk1d/Honda%20Elite%20SA50/IMG_20150805_212729_zpsrmkr72gs.jpg http://i6...

I agree that flats rarely occur, but they do happen.

just the other night i had a flat on the rear with a tube tire. wow it went flat so d*** flat, and was it scary!

Greetings: The other difference is the lack of a bead retention shoulder between the rim flange and the center valley. If the tire deflates, it can wander quickly and create a death wobble that may be impossible to control. Get Met rims or run a tube. Wheelman, Sorry i should have put a disclaimer....

So gents i haven't been on the board in years, but been lurking in from time to time. I did a quick search to see if anyone, has done the conversion on the stock rim to tubeless tires, and couldn't find anything on point. Well it's simple. Sorry i don't have pictures on hand but here it is... 1.) Us...

Mind you this is a totally stock setup for the wife. Do you have to up jet the stock carb?
