Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Just got a '86 Spree last week, and after a week of checkin' it out, I've got a few glitches I'd like to fix, asap.

For some reason, the electric start button doesn't work. Any advice on what parts/steps I should go about to repair it?

Also, when I kickstart it, the kickstarter has a bad tendency to stick all the way down and not retract back like im pretty sure it should...any parts suggestions/advice on that would be much appreciated as well.

And finally anybody got a good source to find parts? I'm also looking for a rear view mirror, asap...

not sure if u know this but u haft to pull the rear brake at the same time lol

Good to now, thanks for that - first time with one of these things, any advice i can accrue is much appreciated. Now about this pesky kickstarter sticking down situation...

kicker spring is broken or gooed up

Kudos on the assist, fellas.
Planning on doing some work on this thing once it gets warm out, would love to get it up to about 50 or 55mph when all's said and done...any advice for the best bang-for-the-buck mods/upgrades?
Also - lookin' for somewhere to pick up some fresh plastic for it.

it aint gonna do 50 or 55 you'd be lucky to see 40 to 45 even with tazs bbk gears and carb

and many will advice you NOT to do 50+ on a 10" wheel, with little crappy Spree brakes

Well, naturally. It's going to be a fairly serious undertaking, i know this much. Suspension, rolling stock, engine, brakes and controls all will need some upgrading. Thinking about integrating some of my knowledge from 50cc dirt bikes in...
