What's a stock Spree top speed shoud be?
Hi everybody,
I just got a stock 87 spree for free and i want to know what the top speed is suppose to be on that kind of bike. The bike as 3000 miles and past the last 3 years in a shed. I cleaned the carb and I'm just doing 25 mph. I know it's suppose to be more but how more? I'll try to clean the muffler and check compression next weekend...

Aero 50? No way, really? My Aero 50 from 84 is a beast. I need to fix the speedo cable to be sure, but I had a car follow me and they said I was easily doing over 30. That was only a small jaunt. I'd be really disappointed if my Aero is only pulling 25Kenny_McCormic wrote:Stock? probably 25. Derestricted, IDK but myspree says 85 motors are * rockets.

On a hill like that, it would probably go faster if you cut the motor off right before it hit the top speed such that the clutch would disengage and the motor wouldn't be holding you back.seacook wrote:Guess I should have included the word extremly before the word downhill. Anyway my scooter is a 1984 49cc Honda Spree. Not sure how close it is to a Aero though...

I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

yeah but you gotta love the way the spree engine just shrills as your topping it out at its peak.CharlotteSpreeRider wrote:On a hill like that, it would probably go faster if you cut the motor off right before it hit the top speed such that the clutch would disengage and the motor wouldn't be holding you back.seacook wrote:Guess I should have included the word extremly before the word downhill.

neighborhood hills that used to be a blast on the spree just aren't the same on faster scooters were you're mostly coasting..
projects galore

Ya, it really is a surprise if you have never ridden one before, 0-13 is what one would expect from a 50cc stuck in 2nd gear, then the motor just starts spooling up like nothing else.
