First off hello to all, i am new to the scoot world but i hope to have a lot of fun with it. I am a BMW tech by day so working on these 2-cylce engines is a fun to me.
I just bought a 1995 Honda elite S (5600 miles) A man owned it from new and recently passed away and his son sold it to me. Here is were my questions lie. Im comming from a 87 honda elite e, which does 35mph flat out. my new '95 elite S only does 25mph flat out. I have been looking at the stickies and getting all the knowledge i can from here. I see that mine might be restricted, correct? All the post i have looked at say a variator and exhaust have restrictions but do not tell you were these restrictions are or how to remove them so that is why im here. If someone could link to me instructions on how to remove them that would be great. Then i see posts that say the elite s oil pump does not do a efficient job compared to a elite sr. Is that true with the year and model i have?
First plan of buisness with it is to do a little maintenance to it as his son said he did not know what his dad hasd all done to it.
These are my plans:
- spark plug
- air filter
- clean the carb ( do they make carb rebuild kits for these?)
- fuel filter
- new tires
- check the brakes
Anyone that can think of anything else i should check give me a heads up. It runs pretty good, has nice pull up to 25mph. Cant wait to mod it once i have the proper maintenance done.
Now on to my second question. i have been looking into modding and what is all avalible. My outcome of this is to have a reliable and quick scoot that i can use to drive to work. Which it will need to go 50mph for the roads i need to take to work. That being said what is needed to make it to were i want it to be? Also i can not find any real websites here in the states that carry these aftermarket parts that i have seen here on the forum, like cdi boxes, variators, bbk, etc. If someone could link me to a place i can get thses things here in the states that would be great. Sorry for this post being so long, Just wanted to get all my questions answered in one post without making a bunch of them.
