Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

on an aero 50 i fixed i could wheelie by just putting my legs back. dead stock.

i'm sure there's web sites about pulling wheelies on motorcycles. never have the balls to hold one for longer than a short distance myself. on mtn bikes however, bring it - those don't hurt when they fall on you.

omg - seafoam in the muffler.

not true - larger tires will change rolling diameter and thus a higher top speed.

they will also raise the bike, creating a higher center of gravity and higher clearance on corners - both benefitting the handling.

- give me a few weeks to decide on tires for my vino and i'll see if the stockers ...

good luck! report back with pics.

i would clean the oil strainer too. and bleed the lines.

you're probably running lean cause you don't have an airbox or air filter in the air box. you can always tape off part of whatever filter you are using to create less surface area/air going in

krylon fusion wasn't all that imho - and there are only about 20 colors

i too use duplicolor with excellent results. like edward said - fan nozzles are where it's at if you must use a can. i also prep everything and use an adhesion promoter.

the chrome is a bit blingy for my tastes for the wheels ...

i wouldn't take anything apart to clean it. bikes that run premix have fuel filters, jets, and fuel lines. that isn't going to matter.

what will matter is that your plug is probably fouled!
go change that and report back.


i have actually started some of my bikes on premix with just a little in ...

i've painted them with they krylon plastic paint before, but there are like 8 colors of that crap, so i moved on to duplicolor automotive paints. stuff works great and is waaay easier to wet sand and buff than other spray paint. i always use adhesion promoter before i paint and then spray it. seems ...
