Hello Everyone,

I just bought an 94 Elite SA50 SR. It is the one that has the purple rims that are really ugly!! Anyways, I was just wondering if there was anyway to make this thing faster with spending a minimal amount of money. I bought it for cheap and would like to keep it that way!! Currently I have just over 1600 miles on it and use it to drive to and from work and if I could get it around 50mph I could drive it to work at my new house!! Please HELP ME!!

Thanks!

Luke

9:1 gears will be cheapest

with the 9:1 gears what would be the top speed?? I am hoping to get this elite up to the 50 mph range so I could drive it on the highway pretty easily. 2nd poster-- What do you mean if I want to go big?? What do you have that could help my problem? I am also willing to give up a lot of acceleration to get top speed. We live in a rural area and most of the roads are just long and not much stop/go traffic. Thanks for all of your help!!

Luke

Just a set of 9:1 gears, a high speed pulley kit, and some work on the muffler should have you in the 50s.

The sr is the derestricted version of the s model, i would change out the front pulley first, if you change the gears you will have to change the center spring & clutch springs.

Why is that? Is it bad that my Elite has gears and the stock center/clutch springs?

Ok guys,

Thanks for all of your input so far.... So the SR version, the same one cf_z has, is already derestricted? I am willing to spend up to a couple hundred dollars to get this thing into the 50mph range. Does anyone have any personal experience with this model and some numbers as far as what they have done and what kind of speed they get out of it?

Also, if I decide to change the gears do I have to put in a new center/clutch spring(s)? Or can I just run the stock ones like nparks?

and look for the numbers, plenty information there on this topic

yes you will need stiffer center spring, can use stock clutch grab springs.

My setup is 9.1 gears and a Highspeed pully..I run about 45 average..hit over 50 or a little more with a fair wind to my back.

I'm actually thinking of getting a UNI filter because I think that would give me a slight increase in power because it would suck in more air and then obviously upjet so its getting more air and fuel..so it should give more power and maybe slightly higher top end..not sure if it would do anything though

Nope, highly DO NOT recommend running open filter on stock carb. Stock airbox flows best for stock block, if you want open filter bigger bore, pipe and carb are ideal otherwise open filter is just plain not worth it.

saying this from experiance too, experimenting with open filter in hopes of a lil more top end is how I blew my first engine on the Zip.. the gains are minimal at best, none or losses at worst
