High mileage.
What are some of the higher mileages you guys have come across on Sprees? Just curious...
Re: High mileage.
Back in the day when the Spree was used as a pit bike I had a couple of 95 mpg tank fulls. Normal was between 70 and 80 mpg.

Re: High mileage.
Do you mean like how many miles like "10,000 miles" or MPG?

Re: High mileage.
My 86 has 6600 all original miles and still runs good. I've head on here of people putting 9000 or more on them if you maintain them well.
Re: High mileage.
Yeah... I'm talking mileage as in "odometer". I'm getting close to 8,000 and wondering if that is high for a Spree.

Re: High mileage.
Yes, that is high because most people don't bother to keep these running that long or get tired and buy something with a variator.Dude383 wrote:Yeah... I'm talking mileage as in "odometer". I'm getting close to 8,000 and wondering if that is high for a Spree.
Rolled an odometer over before, so 10k plus a few hundred before sold and still running.

My Spree has spent a pampered life. Only 3500 on the clock.

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.

Re: High mileage.
Wow! 48,000 kilometers. I hope to get that out of my Spree.
Is there anything special I should be doing to mine since it has "higher mileage"?
