Re: USA to Canada altitude level change
Greetings:
Above 4000 feet? If so you can consider simply removing the stock airbox and substituting a pod or K&N filter. Doing so will let more of that thin air into the carb and may nearly match the stock jetting at sea level. With the stock box, I suspect you would need to swap for a main jet that's a size or 2 smaller, which may be hard to find.

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.

Re: USA to Canada altitude level change
You will need to do some jetting.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.
Re: USA to Canada altitude level change
Calgary is around 3400 ft. Indiana is 800 ft roughly. It might run a little rich in Calgary but it shouldn't be too bad. It's not like Honda normally changes the jetting for different areas. If your Spree is running rough it's probably something else.
