1st scooter build
picked up a clean 87 spree with 600 miles, for 15year old daughter, she complained it wasn't fast enough. was planning a big bore kit for winter project. wife and neighbor kid went for ride, wife has 85 150 elite deluxe. i got the call that the spree quit running. brought home, took jug off and piston skirt broken off. so, winter project became summer project. 48mm big bore kit with gears installed, with all new bearings, seals, gaskets, elite intake, reeds, uni filter, oil pump plug, 275-10 bridgestones. thanks to this forum for the plan. just finished the motor and it runs great. now to install the panels and see if it hits 40-45 mph!!!

Re: 1st scooter build
It will be quick.....but it won't go 45mph.
Taz gears do not increase the top speed by 15mph
2.75 bridgestones and taz gears will go 35-38mph tops

Re: 1st scooter build

but where do you get an oil pump plug for an nq50? vt says their sa50 plug will not fit a spree

Re: 1st scooter build
You grind the gears off the shaft that drives the oil pump.Completly off. Then re-install the whole assembly.SPREEtown wrote:

Re: 1st scooter build
Where did you get that oil pump plug for the nq50 again?
Hit 40mph on the spreedometer maybe
Spreetard hit 50mph using the very inaccurate Spreedometer
Nice '87. How about more pics?
