Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

So I have an elite sr and the rear variator is pretty pitted from rust and it's chewing/sanding down my belts. Can you get aftermarket pulleys? I know there's a drive face and I have a new variator but do I just have to source out a used rear pulley now or is there something available?

The rear pulley is actually two main parts, and both are still available brand new at your Honda Powersports dealer at very reasonable prices. If you don't have a dealer, you can buy them online.. check out:

Sounds like you need parts 7 and 8 in that drawing?

Or you could upgrade to the ZX rear pulley for about the same price. Huge upgrade on torque and acceleration.

I already have taller gears. Would doing the zx trans kill all my torque or does the different angle for better acceleration make up for that?

The ZX trans increases torque. The pulley is larger and adds a lower gear to the CVT. It makes for neck snapping launches and wheelies if you wish. I have them on all my scooters.
