Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Vacuum hose and fuel hose are impossible to find in my town..What other
machine uses those tiny hoses?
What other scoots have the same thread size for mirrors?
Can I get a spare key using the numbers stamped on mine?
Whats an easy way to top off the transmission oil?
Source for replacement Decals?
Thanks, guys(and gals)

Vacuum hoses you can order online or go to a dealer. Bring in the old ones so they can match up. Check out scooterswapshop.com maybe.

Check out ebay for mirrors.
Get a blank key from honda dealer/online and have it cut at lowes/home depot/Ace hardware.
I use a syringe for adding tranny oil.
Ebay i think has spree stickers.

I buy my hose from the local Auto Parts store. They have bulk rolls of all different sizes and I got 16" of each size and it came to like $5,

Key: like Jakob said. Get a blank from Honda dealership and have it cut anywhere using original key as a guide. But the new keys wont have the cool original black plastic coating like they did in the 80's.

Mirrors: most scooter mirrors you buy come with adapters that provide a universal fit. I cant remember the Spree thread size at the moment.

Theres no reason your tranny oil should be low unless some has leaked out. You can top-off by buying a $5 pump from any auto parts store. Walmart also has them in the boat section. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Shoreline-Ma ... p/35259578

Only place ive seen replacement decals is Ebay. Prepare to pay a pretty penny if theyre originals and prepare for sub-par quality if theyre reproductions.

I bought my decals here:

They have all kinds of colors, even reflective.

Your mirrors are 8mm. If you buy aftermarket, like meatball was saying, you can buy adapters if the bolt is 10mm. Amazon sells these. In the case of my mirrors, I am using ones with built in mp3 player and FM radio, and I also bought some mirror extenders. They look and sound awesome.

To answer a couple of your questions, yes a Honda dealer can cut a duplicate key using the stamped number on the original key.

The easiest method I've found for filling and eliminating air from your oil lines and for filling the tranny are the metal oil cans with a pointed metal end on a flexible plastic hose dispenser with a thumb pump, found in auto stores or even Walmart. They also come in handy for filling oil in my generator and for general oiling. Just insert the proper oil for the job. I keep a medium sized one and a small one in the garage and they're quite handy. Fill tranny to bottom of fill hole while sitting on a level surface on the kickstand with 10W40, but double-check your manual to be sure of oil viscosity.

There are links on this website for the correct mm mirrors for your spree, I just ordered two myself last week for under 10 bucks each. My dealer wanted 29.95 each. What I recommend is to be sure to put the lock-down nut on it, so the hex is on the top to make it easier to tighten down without damaging plastic with your wrench.

Thanks, guys, for quick replies and good ideas!

"Lower Unit Lube Pump" That' what she said..

I use condiment bottle from th dollar store for final drive gear case sometimes 2 for 1$ and the ones I get are measured out on the side. Or I use an empty Lucas oil additive bottle. I also use a small of amount o the Lucas in the case, it really keeps those gears quiet.

+1 For the ketchup squeezer! They got em in clear
