Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Just started having problem with my '86 Spree now where it won't get going over about 23 mph. Up to this point (for the last year since I have had it) it has run fine, top cruising speed was always 27-30 mph. The bike has 2400 miles on it and it starts and idles fine

After a little research, signs seem to point to problem as one or more of following:

Worn Drive Belt.
Bad Spark plug
Exhaust clogged.
Carbon build up on piston

I was wondering if anyone experienced a similar problem and could offer any advice.

try cleaning the muffler that should increase some or all of your power back

i spose ill be captain obvious....

carb cleanin time.

Besides those:

Check your compression.
Check your clutch shoes.
