Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Does anybody know if you could take a variator off a different scooter and fab it up to work on a spree? I'm always trying to thinks of ways to make this thing faster.

I have heard that you can do something to the reed valve to get a little more bottom end out of the old spree. Has anybody done this mod, and what do you do? I am always trying to get a little more ummpf out of this sucker.

Definately! It smoothed out the power curve, better takeoff and just plain runs better. It did not effect the top speed though. I would recommend it for any modded spree. I do run 93 octane all the time now though, to avoid any pinging.

You know what the funny thing is, You told me to oval out the holes on the left, by my dislexic butt did the exact opposite and ovaled out the right side and moved the pickup to the left. Guess I did it right afterall

Launch is better with the timing advanced for sure, but still nothing to brag about, but at least it will go on it's own power without a push like before right after I did the pully mod. Right now the bike runs great after about a 5 min warm up period, and 10 mph - 38mph is super fun, plenty of ...

Shave .02 off head, advance the timing, larger main jet, adjust pilot needle circlip, free flow air filter. After all that's done do the pulley mod, and you won't lose any low end.

Use a 4 in beltsander to shave the head, need new headgasket $5.00

Pull the ignition pickup from behind the fan, oval ...

So what should I ask for when I call? Or does somebody have a part number from Leo Vince?

Let me know when you find that!

Where do you get them, Leo Vince told me they don't have them.

I had read on here that somebody purchased some red Leo Vince clutch springs for a Honda spree to make the clutch engage later (better takeoff), but I called the number that was listed 510-232-4040, and they could not find them in their catalogue. They also stated that they did not carry any parts ...

Thanks alot, that worked great. Now I've been playing with the right position, about how many millimeters have you moved yours over? Mine is set at about 3-4 mm from the original position, runs much better w/ faster, smoother acceleration!

Where is the pickup coil located? After adjusting the needle circlip to a richer location, the noise went away, but I would still like to oval out the holes for the pickup, to give it a tad more timing. I looked everywhere, can't seem to see where this is mounted.

Hey guys, I really think that I need to advance the timing on my spree. The mods I got so far are, a custom expansion chamber exhaust I welded up, K&N chevy breather air filter, rejetted to 78, pully mod, shaved .02-.025 off head. I just installed the head, and now it sounds like the engine is ...

Does anybody else think that the leaf blower charger would possibly work? I've been racking my brain trying to come up with a way to get the fueling down. They only produce 2-3 psi max, so I don't think that would blow up the motor, but it would be funnier than * to see it done. I'm going to be ...

Well, I got my exhaust all welded up and am now hitting 36-37 mph. Didn't rejet, didn't do anything with the air intake. I am extremely happy. If anybody can post pictures on this site, let me know. My exhaust is baddddd assssss, way nicer than anything else I've seen anybody else build (my opinion ...
