ok ive got a 2001 honda elite S. ive recently noticed that the handle bars are slightly off compared to the front wheel. also it will turn and hit the stop in one direction but in the other it will turn way past the stop. i took off the front cover and one of the little tabs is broken off. if i were ...

hey. i just came across something on ebay that i thought was interesting. its a modified drive boss. check it out. i wonder if it would be worth trying.

hey, i was wondering if any of you guys had after market speedos on your elite s'. i know vt cycles sells a phongeer speedo. but i havent been able to find any pics of it. are there any other alternatives to that one? i think i go roughly 55 but i would like to find out for sure.

yea i know that it should be nice light brown. but im asking if it is running correctly should it get to that light brown after only riding a quarter of a mile? if it should then i am running too lean and i definitely need to upjet. or i could put the stock air box back on and down jet because ive ...

well i know my top speed is no where near 68. i have the stock speedo and the needle goes to the all the way to the right. sometimes it will just about disappear. heres my setup

dio with 72cc cmr bore
8.4:1 gears
premix 50:1 with oil pump removed and hole plugged.
stock carb with uni filter and ...

man i wonder if im doing it wrong or if im just running that lean. i did one chop. and it was white just as it was before i put it in. so i reoiled my air filter and moved the clip on the needle for the throttle down a notch. did another chop and its still the same. i only rode 2 blocks when i did ...

so you dont ride it around before you do the chop? you just put the plug in and go WOT ? if you were to ride it home after you did the plug chop without changing plugs would it ruin it?

ok. when you are doing a plug chop how far do you ride before you do the actual chop when you go WOT and shut off the engine?

anyone happen to know what the top speed is for 8.4:1 gear ratio? im just wondering if im anywhere near close to what i should be at.

50mph with a variator and 9:1 gearing? thats pretty good. i doubt i have much more than that with a 72cc bore and 8.4:1 gearing. do you happen to know what the top speed of 8.4:1 gear should be?

If you want speed then start off with an engine that can be built for speed, and if you watch the chopper/car builders on tv they are not college educated idiots just common sense boys that will build for you cuz you can't :lol: respect the blue collar workers, money, not your brains will get you ...

all you really would need to do would be to design a drive pully thats identical the the dio drive pulley but small enough to fit inside the case for the spree. the driven pulley is the same type on the dio and spree. if you did make one you would have make the inner drive face, the ramp plate, and ...

what brand are those saddle bags? where did you buy them from?

hey. i was wondering if anyone has put an elite 80 engine in a honda spree. my buddy has a spree and wants to put a dio in it but he doesnt have the money. i can get an elite 80 engine pretty cheap and i thought id check and see if anyone has ever put one in a spree before.
