Add modified varator to the list and bump speed up to 45.
Honda Pal (Speed-o-scooter) JDM Spree with varator trans.
Honda Spree, 1985.
Another Honda Pal
Let's give it a try, how hard could it be?

About 10 mins from jackson.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

ok, i weigh 230lbs. i have the mods done to my 86 aero50. stock piston, cylinder has been ported and polished, the muffler has been cut opened and had stock pipes replaced with bigger pipes, it has a shaved 85 spree head with the plug gapped at .036, advanced timing, ram-air fin on the fan cover, it has a 95 sa50 carb with a 90 main jet, and a aftermarket K&N filter, it has the 87 SE50S shiftkit with three 9 gram rollers, and three 10.5 rollers. since i did the new upper end with a new piston and rings, it will do 44mph flat. im good with that.

I weigh around 195 and on my stock 86 spree i have it up to 32 mph on level ground-don't know that I want much more than that. If I want to go faster,I can jump on my chopper or another motorcycle. I like cruising around the area on a Spree. I now have 3 of them. I am going to sell one of them. The other 86 I am going to 87 plastics as I like the look more.
2 OR 4 WHEELS,IT'S ALL GOOD!

Obviously not good enough. I put just under 100 miles on it and decided to see what it'd top out at and as soon as I hit 60 it popped.

Haha yeah I did, but it was nearly impossible. It definitely helped though! Without PB I'd still be clueless as to how I'd get the d*** piston off of the crank.
