Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I can't contain my excitement. I'm going next week to go pick up an elite 150. I think it's possible it's a 125 I'll find out. I rode it several years ago and looked at it last fall but can't remember. I'll post some pics as soon as I go get it. Couldn't pass up the deal for a couple hundred dollars. I'll be going through it with a fine tooth comb. All new fluids all around. Gonna flush the cooling system for sure.

It sucks being out on the road working when you have a scooter waiting to be brought home to be added to the collection . Been away from my shop for a couple weeks now. I miss my scooters

Post some photos Pat.

I'll post pics the second I show up to pick that copper metallic bad boy up. Which will hopefully be tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to honda number 5 but after looking over the manual I'm not looking forward to maintaining a water cooled 4 stroke lol.

its an 84 elite 125. Had it running within about 5 min of pulling it off the trailer. Put a fresh tank of gas in it on the way home. It needed a shot of carb cleaner in the carb to get it to pop off the old fuel in the carb and it started and idled just fine. A little seafoam spray in the carb and it idles and revs great. It needs a bunch of TLC but nothng too serious. It has a huge exhaust leak that will have to be fixed and I'm very curious to see what the deal is can't wait to get all of the gear purchased for my scratch start tig setup I'm Going to only keep 3 scoots on the road for now. The elite is going on the back burner for now untill Iget some other projects out of the way.

I the flip up headlight working. Its too cool. And I figured out my exhaust leak. There is no gasket it seems. 1984 Honda Elite 125 pop up head light: http://youtu.be/oUOJKJyt2Kw

im not keen on the looks of that scoot but i really love that 80's pop up light .I just love pop up lights on cars and bike just never knew honda used it on there scooters.

Hi pat. very nice ride.
the pop up light are known to get stuck. I would recommend some lubrication on the head light hinge.

Yes it will get some lube along with every other moving part I can find I had the exhaust off tonight, it is to totally missing the gasket. So a battery and exhaust gasket needed so far not going to break the bank. New brake shoes eventually. And pauly this scoot is from the dark side... Its a four stroke lol. Its going take getting used to driving a four stroke scooter. For $200 with papers couldn't pass it up .
