tacoma's CH80 spree
Posted: Sat Nov 16, 2013 5:25 am
I figure i should finally post a build thread since i have been on here for a year.
I went with my friend to pick up a spree I was the one to test ride it and instantly fell in love with it even though it was slow. he ended up buying it for a good price and a few weeks later he sold it to me with a ch80 and the mount welded it was far from being done and was told it was gonna cost $100 to get the stator, but I couldnt pass up the offer so I ended up buying it with all of the change in my house ... not joking .
ended up storing it in my room
since i didnt have the money to get it running i spent my free time on painting it
I was lucky and found a stator for $15 the bolt to mount the engine for $2 and the speedocable for $5 so i could finally have it put together but I still had a lot of wiring problems and no battery but it was running
it took 4 months but I finally had everything ready i ended up getting a battery for free and fixed most of my wiring problems
I spent a total of $255 including everything from the spree itself to the paper work. I have to say its the best 200 I have ever spent the spree launches and passes the modded 50cc rucks. They never see it coming
after riding it for a couple months my exhaust kept breaking ever other week. so i swapped a 150cc gy6 header since it was free.
I bought another spree with a big bore dio swap for $80 I put it away for a while and used the suspension ,seat and fairings from it so i could finally ride in comfort
I tend to get random stuff for free from my friends like this headlight from a yamaha he had. it looks alot better with a round light.
my 150 exhaust broke off and since i had cut fairings i got another gy6 exhaust for free except this time it was a 50cc header so I reversed it and hav it pointing up on the left side, not only does it help keep my engine cooler but it also goes along with my future plans since im wanting to build a bosozoku spree
since the header was more restrictive I finally had enough back pressure to have it tuned right, no more backfiring everywhere making kids run inside when i ride by and no more worrying about being pulled over. only thing now was while i was doing my "highspeed" runs doing 50 my fan and fan shroud blew up so i had to retro fit the extra fan off of a 2stroke. since no one has ch80 parts sounds like its sketch but i ended up riding for a few hours and never had a issue
