the transmission parts, yes, the cylinder, no. ive heard that the dio driven pulley will give better performance than the aero one??? not confirmed, just what i heard! i know the clutch fits, and the variator
gears, nope. there are gears for the aero though

Nice post BeeMain. This swap is something I'm thinking about doing as well so please keep this thread updated with your progress/findings. Where in Canada are you at? I'm out in Whistler, BC.

Greetings:

If a sophomore mechanic like me can get my Aero to 70 kliks, so can you. Here's some info on my powertrain upgrade process:

Polini 47mm top end kit @ DayWOT. Probably needs a jet size bigger than Polini supplies.
Keli HSV - 8 or 9 grams
Replaced the belt
Smoothed and widened stock intake manifold.
I'm told the 3" tires will fit for a "gear swap" that amounts to 9% Taller.

You can read about reeds - Flash's Carbonized Reed Valve - in Performance Technical. Easy, nice upgrade did little for the top end but helped take-off and midrange significantly.

And here are some results:

That's with 2.75" tires. The Polini-augmented engine's eager for more but can't put it down due to overall gearing too low, jetting and plug issues to resolve.

I'll be working on a gear mod installation soon. Malossi 16/32 taking the reatio from 11.097 to around 7.83:1. If I install those I may have to go a gram or 2 lighter on the rollers. Will post results.

Scooterwerx reports he has an Aero that gives any Elite a run for its money - just ask him for more advanced mods that should get you near 90 KPH.

The 2 don't even compare, the Spree is ancient and slow and the Jog's do over 45 stock.

i guess I shoulda said, cuz of better trans and more power than the elite, not the spree.

I know the reasons why the elite are slow.
