HELP! honda spree runs but wont move

[86spreeatl]

I was riding and i noticed it was kind of (what seemed like) slipping out of gear..
and all the sudden after the light changed I pulled the throttle back and it wouldnt move..
I can open it up all the way and it wont budge.. after a minute with gas being applied it made a loud CLACK
noise and when i cut it off and was pushing it home when the back wheel was turning it would make the same clack noise every 10-20 feet (while the motor was off) please help me..
I just bought this scooter and havent even had it for a month..

Well the first thing to do is take the trans cover off to take a look. It could be something as little as a broken belt.

It looks like this.

I do not know what a 86 spree trans cover looks like. So it could be a bit different but they are all basically the same.

cool.. thanks. and what exactly am i looking for? anything that looks out of order?

[86spreeatl]

if it is the belt will it be in plain view?

Yes it will.

Yup just look for any broken parts. There isn't much under there just basically the clutch, belt and variator so it should be fairly easy to find any broken or damaged parts in there.If everything looks good in there then it could be your gears.

so im not totally screwed? no matter what its fixable for a reasonable price right?

Well I am no expert but I am pretty sure it is fixable without spending to much. My guess it is just a broke belt.

THANK YOU!!! As soon as i took the cover off I noticed here was a EXTREMELY loose back bolt holding that circular piece I tightened it and viola its running better than ever

No variator on a Spree.
