Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

howdy,
i was out scooting around this morning,
still amazed at how much fun 25 mph can be, (i've been riding dirtbikes, since i was 11 - i just turned 25), seriously unbelievable the 50cc's of fury.
but at any rate i figured the only way to have more fun is to push in and roll on the throttle - well crank on it - and really get down into the turns.
The first hard turn i pushed into it made a scrape noise - and i figured - eh its plastic - who cares -
but then after about a half hour of riding around, and finding out that my float is stuck - or something (its over flowing out the lower side hole) i realized hey am i screwing up my center stand.
so i took a look,
and the center stand was fine.
but the vin number was bent and scraped.
i'm pretty * and i was thinking about making drag blocks, or something to protect the sides.
has anyone done this.
like titainum for throwing sparks - at my leaky carb.
just a thought
let me know if you've got the same problem
stay safe
fizz.

I do this all the time; mine's toast from cornering.

You could always hang off the inside, knee out, and thus keep the bike more upright and with a higher cornering speed... where'r my kneepucks?

man im afraide to lean taht much on mine...

haha ive lost 3 springs from them scraping when cornering. sucks cause then i got to find somthing to tie the kickstand back up. usualy my shoelace

ha, i still have never scraped the sides of teh ped... but the aero has a screwed up kickstad taht hits the ground on every bum

We used to take the stands off my my sprees so we could lean farther over. We had a couple small tracks set up in parking lots and we would all race eachother. Too bad I sold the sprees . . .

I thought that a Spree racing class would be a hoot. Set up a small track on one of the abandoned parking lots around here. Might encourage some actual performance-enhancing on the Spree.

That sounds sweet! But would modded spree be included or is it for stockers only?

Stock Spree? I'm pretty sure that everyone still running a spree is doing so with help from the salvage yard.

It reminds me of that Johnny Cash song, One Piece at a Time.
"Well, It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56
'57, '58' 59' automobile"

"Stock," not "Numbers matching"

"Stock" would be 49cc only up to .5mm overbore, OEM exhaust, intake, and carb, and a spec 2.5" tire. Porting would be allowed on stock parts.

"Unlimited" would be Spree OEM case and single pulley, but that's it. Unrestricted bore, carb, intake, exhaust.

we racveed around the park trails around me.

hey myspree u ready to race?? after i get 200 miles on my elite... lol i have to break it in..

i'll race ya. i got my ped runnin great right now.
