Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

i dont get it, that scoot i sold you had the variator restrictor plate removed, an 82 main jet, the hole punched in the air box, and the PO had drilled 3 holes into the side of the exhaust and it did 35... seems like you should be going a lot faster.

rubbing alcohol. idk how it will work on plastic, but my aluminum bike still has nice paint after 2.5 years.

not parting it out. Riding until it dies. just rolled over 3000 miles.

01 just under 3000 miles on motor. still runs great. front plastics are toast, but the rears are fine. just scratched. motor has run a little rich since I derestricted it 150 miles ago.

turns out the steering tube is cracked. anyone interested if I part out?

well, my elite 50s took a turn for the worst as it smashed into the ground and slid down to road tonight. my brother was trying his hand a wheelie when he lost control and ate s***. needless to say, i am not happy about this. the previous owner had crashed it before, but not like this. Somehow my ...

still waiting to hear more on this.

spam?

I'm so glad I am not the only one with this issue. I'll have to start running premix as well. IT sounds very much like added vibration in the 25-35 mph range though my scooter only tops out at 33 or 34 on the flats. It felt/sounded like it was coming from the clutch area though.

The scooter is on the fritz. first off, I'll tell you what I'm working with. 2001 Honda Elite S. It haas been derestricted at the muffler, and the clutch, second air hole punched out, 82 Main Jet, oil zipptied open.. all of the sudden it decides that when it hits 25mph it will chatter, almost like ...

my bad, i have the s with the washer taken out of the exhaust and the air box punched out. how do i properly adjust the air/fuel screw?

also, the main jet on a stock s is 68. stock main jet on an sr is 78.. i'm running an 82 which should be more than enough, no?

alllright, so i've got an 01 elite s, which i just took the restriction out of the exhaust and put in an 82 jet and punched out the second airbox hole. i have a ton more get up and go and it tops out right around 31 mph which is what i expected considering i still have the clutch restrictor plate on ...

rain or shine I ride my elite. I but 150 miles on it in the first 3-4 days. still tinkering with it because I feel like it's running lean. My rain suit is my friend.

still with the kill switch in the off position it won't let the kicker work.....

alright, update here. I got a battery hooked it up and all was well. Sort of anyway. I wired up a keyed ignition to the red and black wires. (Key on, electric start works, key off electric start doesn't work. Awesome. however, I have since learned that a "universal ignition switch" from Autozone wil ...
