Don't know about a Spree, mine is a Pal. I know basically nothing about scooters, I can only report what I see on mine. Since I'm totally ignorant I'm just winging it. Lightened the rollers from 13 grams like the originals to 10 grams. Seems to pull better and the top end rpm went from 6000 to about 6500. Might try a couple more grams tomorrow.

Whats the model number? AF #s on engine (stamped on left side near belt cover)? This could be interesting.

Where do you find a $200 Elite, I can't find anything under $550?

Here are some pics of my little Pal. The model is SY50MP.















If someone recognizes it as just the same as one of the US versions that would save some confusion and make parts easier to get. Internet searches have only found references in Japan and New Zealand.

thanks,

I don't think there is anything quite like that. The gas tank is on backwards compared to every other bike I've ever seen. Everything just looks like it's in the wrong place. The motor seems just like a 84 - 85 Spree motor, except for the left side cover.

Found another number on the Pal, AF-17. Looks to be a 1989 model. The export version is supposed to be an Elite E. The left side cover is where the belt trans is located.

looks just like my old 88 elite sb50 except for the nicer side cover... that would explain it looking kinda like a spree engine as well.

Its a SB50 motor with a vari, strange, im gonna have to do some part number checks.
