Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Switched to Honda GN2 for the last 1000 miles or so. ZERO smoke or odor. I'm happier. It's under $7 at the dealer which is way cheaper (like 40%) than the Motul I was buying at Cycle Gear. I'm way happier.

Here's what I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/291302553619?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT

Bought my scooter with a lawnmower ignition switch wired it, the seat lock removed so you just pulled on the cable to pop the seat, and the glovebox was locked with no key. The ignition switch worked but only two wires were hooked up so it would disable the electric starter when turned off, enable ...

It's as simple as putting a stock contra and stock clutch with stock springs in and looking at your tach as you twist the throttle. When the clutch engages that's your answer for clutch springs. And when you feel it "switch gears" as its called that's the ratting for the contra. Done


Wish I had ...

Greetings:

1. +1000, +2000 refers to the delay in shifting behavior compared to stock RPM.

2. No one knows. Measure according to my post with a bathrrom scale to obtain a spring rate in Kg./cm. or lbs./inch. The measurement that matters is within the length range of the spring mounted in the ...

Typically anything with a numeric value on aftermarket parts indicates the total rpm difference between that item compared to the OEM item. I.e. 2k clutch springs have approximately 2,000 rpm delay prior to clutch engagement.
^That^is exactly what I meant by \/this\/
I get that clutch springs ...

I get that clutch springs saying 1k (1,000) mean they allow the clutch to engage at about 1,000 rpm above the stock level.

I don't get why a contra springs ("torque spring" at scrappy dog scooters) would be rated this way. They're labeled "1k", "1.5k" etc. Is that number related to rpm? spring rate ...

thanks for the info!

variators...The stock ones are aluminum/steel, so are aftermarket ones. A malossi, or polini will suit you just fine...
Cool.

...Gears and a variator will put you at 47-51 top speed, cruising nicely at 40-45. A vari kit by itself, should put you around 42-45 top speed...
Right.

...at that ...

...2000 SR, completely stock, put a variator in it...
Which variator? What weights?

...top speed was about 38ish acceleration was amazing, wheelies all the time...
Gosh that must've added quite a lot of low-end. I want a scoot anyone can get on and ride without wheelies.

...I wanted more ...

THANKS for the info, codename47!
...id do 1000rpm springs in the clutch, but im lighter too, like 140. so. dont kow for sure but i think itd work...id go with both 1000 rpm grabbers, and 1000 rpm contra. maybe if you, want get 1000 grabbers and 1500 contra...

Would a heavier rider such as myself ...

Greetings! I've already researched this quite a bit and done lots of math so if you have input as to engine building or any gears other than the 15/42 secondary set that yield a 9.8:1 final, please post that over here .

I have a 98 Elite SR that's completely stock and running well. I enjoy it and ...

Good thread. A few things I didn't see mentioned that will improve outcome of novice paint work:

If painting in a garage or other hobby environment consider that masking the surrounding area not only keeps overspray off other things but also keeps dust, bugs, etc out of your paintjob. misting the ...

You meant image, right?

Oh, then you deleted it from both threads. You mad, bro?

Brilliant^

1man8scoots sounds about like 1woman8cats or 1kid8facebookprofiles. Too much time on his hands to spend arguing nonsense. If you find a chinese clone with wheels that fit I'm sure that info would be much appreciated. I'd probably start with GY6 stuff or Ruckus/Metros but I don't know ...
