Done With Lurking - Need advice

Post by ratboy »

Ok,

So I have lurked on this forum for months now - first as a guest, now as a registered user.

I have three sprees. One 86 runs great!, one special edition, runs good, and the third one, an 85 that I am currently working on.

Here is what I'm doing:
porting intake
pulley mod
changing piston to 'domed' shape, and checking to see if I need to hone, or go .025 over
taking .015 off the head.
MSD blaster coil
irridium plug
painting, detailing. and all that stuff.

Thinking about mod'ing the exhaust.

I can't tell what size jet I have - can't see the numbers. Any sugestions as to what I should have in it with these mods?

Any ideas as to what else I should do, so I can be done with it all at once?

Thanks!

Ok,

That is something I had considered, but where to get one without getting raped on price and condition?

i got a dio for $100. running condition, 780 miles on it. what u want to look for is a 94-up elite s,sa engine. these can be very expensive. my trick was to look around ebay for somone selling a lot of parts to that scooter, and asking to buy the engine. i was lucky enough that the guy sold it to me before placing it on ebay. you dont want to do this through the mail since you arent protected. find a close deal.

you can use the 87 motor mount and shave the sides to get the motor on the spree frame. The back mounting hole will have to be drilled out on the mount and you will have to move the rear shock mount.My suggestion is in the space below the battery box.

That's about all we've got so far. The mods should be cheaper than what you can pick up a Dio plant for.
