More top Spreed wanted
Ok, i'm tired of the sub 40 mph top speed my elite acheives. What are some easy to apply upgrades I can do to up my top speed. Price? Any Negatives? Not looking to spend a whole crap load of money and not looking forcrotch rocket speed. Maybe 50mph if that's acheivable without pulling the head.

Re: More top spped wanted
If you have an sr then you need a 9 to 1 gear ratio & #85 main jet...

Re: More top spped wanted
Sounds like u already have a aftermarket vari so 9.1 gears would give you 45-50..sometimes speeds of almost burying the speedo depending on a few factors..I've done it a few times and I'm between 180 and 190 lbs. Usually I see speeds of 45 tho

This is interesting. Your profile lists your occupation as "Certified Honda Technician"? and you're asking US for help?

I love to Hotrod anything. My scoot is actually completely stock.

Smart move coming here for info. The factory's never teach hot rodding or parts swapping, in fact they super frown on it. You gotta learn that elsewhere.01EliteSR wrote:I do work at a Honda dealership, but rarely work on these things.

That's pretty much what I suspected, but just wanted to draw you out of the closet.Bear45-70 wrote:Smart move coming here for info.

Maximizing Stock Elite Speed
Greetings:
My stock SR recorded 42.8 on GPS with the singular addition of a Pirelli SL26 90/90 rear tire and a variator.. Check the basic maintenance items if you're not breaking 40.
Gears from Limp44 were ~$60 and brought speed up to 47.8, so the engine has the juice. Minimal penalty from 0-5. And you have access to a press!
If your current issue relates to wear and low compression, a bore kit makes things much more interesting. Otherwise jet up as MadDog suggested to an 85 and you're done.
