Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

i have a honda elite 89 sb50p if i get a 3 inch back tire and a #75 main jet will it make my moped go faster

The bigger tire will add 2-3 mph on the top end

the bigger jet will do nothing but make your scooter run rich.

A bigger tire will increase yor top speed by simply changing the final drive ratio. A bigger tire goes further per revolution.

The jetting... well that would depend on the air/fuel ratio. Chances are, if all you do is change the jet, it will run too rich, go slower, and foul plugs faster. But hey, at least it'll do something faster.

There is no magic trick. There is no free power. While I'm at it, I better let you in on the fact that there is no Easter Bunny. And your parents were the tooth fairy.

hmm i guess i was to slow to read the read other posts dont forget there is no santa!

bigger rear tire at 2.75x10. the bigger front will increase ride quality a little and bring the speedo closer to being right but it will not increase the performance. Some have claimed that a 3x10 will not rub but it depends on the tire brand and model.

what brand can any body sugjest for the 3.00 wide

I have yet to find the right one but other members have claimed no problems with theirs. I'd try a search for spree and 3.0 tires.

on my spree the 3" conti zipp had clearance issues w/ the center stand and one of the exhaust mounting bolts. seems like they flare out quite a bit at the tread.

ya i wana get 1 but i dont want problems wen i get it

And they will expand as you ride so check them throughout the first few rides.

if i did it again i would get 2.75in tires. i imagine much of my grief/grinding would not have been necessary. but the zipps at 3in look sick. ur choice bro, the bigger u go the higher gearing u get as well.
