Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

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.

Can't help you wit the "spped", but we might do something for your top speed.

If you have an sr then you need a 9 to 1 gear ratio & #85 main jet...

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 do work at a Honda dealership, but rarely work on these things. I was really just looking for some advice from the experts about the best and cheapest way to get what i wanted. I could just start buying parts i know would help, but just wanted opinions on the best way acheive my goal. Mine was supposed to be a a gas saver, but I found this site and thought what the *. 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.

That's pretty much what I suspected, but just wanted to draw you out of the closet. I've noticed that car racers are seldom found in dealerships or even independent shops where mechanicing is the living. I think I would be stifled in a Honda dealership, and I'm not really a hotrodder.

have you done anything at all to your scoot?

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.
