Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Thanks!

I'm working on a 1989 Honda Elite LX.
The engine is stamped AF05E - is that an sa50?

I need to replace the piston and I want to make sure I get it right. The calipers say it 41mm, but all the pistons I'm finding so far for that size are NQ50, SB50, and NT50.

I didn't even know Honda made a 125cc 2 stroke - I've found that the 1984 Aero was the only year they did.

I saw this on Craigslist..ad said it had spark and compression but wouldn't start. He also said he had a few spare parts ...

Oh OK,

Thanks!

1989 elite SA50 K

What does the 'K' designate?

I searched the forums but it came up empty
