Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Well, good news! charging the battery overnight did the trick!

No more battery problems for now (I hope)

Thanks for your input and advice guys!

Greetings:

MouseWheels has forgotten more than I'll ever know about electrical stuff, but if the only charge it's had came from a battery tender that might be you problem. The first charge needs more juice than a Tender can produce. What do you measure on the voltmeter after you charge it? Dud ...

Purchased a gel battery online, I usually get a AGM battery. It seems like the battery isn't holding a charge unless I go out and ride the scooter for a few miles (after the scooter is sitting, the battery loses power). alternator seems to be working fine (headlight gets brighter when I rev up the ...

nice job, looks great!

I put an extra 1/2 - 3/4 of an oz extra in mine a while ago when i changed the gear oil, no change in performance and everything is good.

How often should you change the gear oil? every 100, 250, 500 miles? I know it only hold 3-4 ounces? just wondering.

Spree service manual does not list a mileage interval. They say replace every 2 years. I'd guess many have missed the 2 yrs interval...

Oh ok, thanks for the reply.

congrats on the extra power, but doesn't drilling holes in the exhaust make the muffler louder?

I have the sb50p and it will go 35 mph, mine goes about 31, only because I bought a rear rim & tire off eBay and the guy never said if the rim was true and straight, anyways I installed it and now it wobbles a little bit, therefore it only does 31 mph max. I have another rim that is true and ...

I run a standard champion plug in my ped, as for the oil I mainly use GN2, but im going to try the castrol 2t oil when I run out of GN2 just to see how it is.

Should of also added a second question while making this thread, how many miles does your moped(s) have on it?
I have 9500 on the elite E (has at least one rering job), 7000 on the dio (don't know about the rings). I have seen several close to the 10,000 mark and a couple that have even turned the ...

Some real good reply's in this thread, so I probally put about 200 miles on my moped this week alone, I better slow down on doing that or im going to be needing to change a tire or two :twisted:, I got around 3,700 miles on my moped so far, id like to think that my moped will last forever, yea I ...

Whelp. Finally went out and got my battery today, cost about $38.00 (honda shop wanted $55.00, ebay wanted $25.00, but I would of had to wait for shipping :x ) anyways everything works great. headlight, turn signals, horn, electric start (fires up with just one push :lol:)

Just giving an update ...

I thought of this at one time before also, never did it tho. Just saved myself the hassle and ordered a new one from my local honda shop for about 13 dollars. Well worth it.
