Re: Getting an Aero50 in shape!

I find a couple of nice examples, I think. Just go to ebay.it and search for marmitta honda vision

You will find some gems like :

Re: tuning a se50 variator

I ordered my OEM AF05E crank bearings, gasket kit and seals from Partzilla.com. You can do a price search for many part # at the same time and their service is great. Prices also!

stock AF05E max RPM?

Hello guys,

I just bought a Canadian 1989 SE50 (Élite R) like this one :http://www.motorscooterguide.net/Pictures/eliteRwhite.jpg. It is completely stock and goes about 38 MPH at 7400RPM. What is the usual max RPM on that engine?

Also, I plan to install a Polini BBK and a Leo Vince exhaust. What ...

Re: 1987 SE50 Replacement rings : identical or different?

Here are the best pics I could take with a magnifying glass :

I can see better with that, and I see nothing else that a 'N'.

Anybody replaced their rings recently ...

Ok, I finally took my camera out of his case. Here are some pics of the machine I bought brand new, 25 years ago...

Re: 1987 SE50 Replacement rings : identical or different?

I just saw that the upper cannot go in the lower position because of its height... I am just surprised that they are not labeled T1 and T2, but both 'N'...

Somebody ever bought Honda replacement rings in the original size could confirm?

Thanks for the answers.

1987 SE50 Replacement rings : identical or different?

Hello guys,

The rings were replaced on my SE50 some years ago.

My manual says that the upper and lower rings are different and should be identified accordingly (T1, T2). But they are not. Both have a 'N' on the top, and they look the same. Is there really an upper and lower ring?

The only ...

Re: New to this forum... and have some questions

When installing a big bore kit on a AF05E (and let's say a Leovince SP3 exhaust), is it necessary to change other things to keep the reliability? For example, is it enough to replace the main jet by the one supplied in the Polini kit to get correct carburation?

And the stock oil pump, will it ...

New to this forum... and have some questions

Hello all,

I am not really new to scooters, but let's say that I have been away from this world for some time... I bought my first (and only) scooter, a (Canadian) Honda Elite 50 in 1987. At that time, I was... 14! I remember very clearly my exam to get the license (no road exam or course at that ...
