Re: Spree 48mm big bore kits
Better than decent, it transforms the power ban after 15mph (about 5k rpm) all the way to top speed. Very impressed.

Cheers for that guys, i'll be after one of the MLM pipes when funds(and the Mrs)permit
Currently looking at a second nifty running for $250 and a AF18 short motor for an additional $150 as the start of another project... Taken my first hit and am well and truly addicted now!!

Re: Spree 48mm big bore kits
Yuss my BBK FINALLY arrived!!
A word to the Ebay virgins... If you think your shipping address is correct, check it before ordering anything and then double check it after you have rechecked it, otherwise you can end up waiting over 5 months for something that should have taken 2 or 3 weeks at the most to arrive.
Turns out my kit went straight past my door(totally my fault), got marked as undeliverable and ended up bouncing around a shipping warehouse somewhere between here and the US until it eventually worked its way through the system and was resent to the correct address.
So anyways I now have the kit as well as a second hand set of the elusive Taz gears in as new condition to put on my Nifty, hopefully starting this weekend.
Looking forward to dipping my toes into the engine upgrading side of things at last!!

Re: Spree 48mm big bore kits
Drop that af18 on the nifty you picked up for 250, it'll be night and day to ur taz kit, gears, mlm, and anything else u put on it, i spent alot on my first afo5e, then got an af16e and even stock it was almost just as quick.

Re: Spree 48mm big bore kits
Yes it's hard to compare an af16e to the spree motor it is like night and day but I gotta say I really miss my spree motor with the bbk carb and pipe. I have an af18e on one of my sprees and its a monster but I really would like to do another stock spree bbk. I like the way the single speed tranny felt on the stock motor

Re: Spree 48mm big bore kits
I ended up having to sell the one I was going to put the AF18 into after I bought my Dio, 3 scooters plus assorted bits were taking up too much garage room. Made $100 on it and someone who wanted a running project scooter happy so wasnt a completely stupid exerciseMeloshameless wrote:Drop that af18 on the nifty you picked up for 250, it'll be night and day to ur taz kit, gears, mlm, and anything else u put on it, i spent alot on my first afo5e, then got an af16e and even stock it was almost just as quick.
Agreed PTSG, i really like riding my Nifty around totally in stock form. Sure standing starts arent spectacular but once its up past about 20km/h its fine and keeps up with the suburban traffic over here no problem... And it looks pretty awesome
Should hopefully get a bit of time this afternoon to start on installing the BBK and gears!

Re: Spree 48mm big bore kits
I put a few thousand km on my spree in stock form. Loved every second of it.

Re: Spree 48mm big bore kits
Had a very successful weekend here, dropped the motor out on Saturday afternoon, changed everything over last night, got it reassembled and refitted early this afternoon, have just finished heat cycle No 2 and everything is sounding pretty d**m good at the mo
Turns out the old piston and bore had quite a bit of scoring, and the gear case had less than a teaspoon of oil left in it so the rebuild came at a pretty good time
Unfortunately the clutch has less than 2mm on the pads until it'll be down to the aluminium so am hunting for a decent replacement at the moment
Cant wait to take it out for a run

I ran rear on my front with no issues, I think both run same pads.graphite9 wrote:nice! I have spree kitaco pads for the front..Maybe they work on the rear too?
Re: Spree 48mm big bore kits
Thanks for the link to the clutch mod Jumps. I dont really want to carve up the cover so have asked a guy over here if he has any decent second hand ones. If not there is a place in town that relines brake shoes and clutches ect so might hit them up. Failing that there is a company in the US that can do it so might end up sending it over
I think you are talking about brake shoes Graphite?! Yep the front and rears are the same
Made up an 'upgraded' airbox cover with some masking tape to get it to run properly. Not keen on punching holes in my existing good condition cover so will find another I can drill out
Went for a gentle run around the block last night, nothing over about 1/3 throttle and it's feeling pretty good!

MLM pipe also works on stock bore I'll never forget when Devon at MLM sent me the prototype and I took the first test ride. Instant perma grinJust Joel wrote:Better than decent, it transforms the power ban after 15mph (about 5k rpm) all the way to top speed. Very impressed.
