Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Hi there!

I'm new but I must say that this place is great!!!

I got a Honda Aero (NB50) from my cousin. It was behind her house for the last year. Since I'm in Quebec, it stayed in snow for a couple months. I wanna put it in shape so I need the shop manual but, I've been told it's a NB50 1987 and all I can find is the manual for 85... Is it the same one? I red that it was the same model but 85's one wasn't equip with kickstarter.

There is no 1987 NB50. Check VIN plate.

I'm going to get it home tonight or tomorrow so I'll check this out soon! TY!

Always nice to see fellow Canadians here, welcome

Our service manual is an early copy which covered only 1985. 1987 is a valid year for US Aeros and Honad later released a combined 1985-87 Service Manual.

Much service info from 1985 covers the later, but as the poster notes - no kick start in 1985. There's a 2 bolt intake in 1985 changed to 4 for 86/87 and minor electrical changes. There are parts compatibility issues like petcocks from 1985 don't fit newer Aeros - That info does not show up in the service manual.

I started to look at my Aero today. Checker the VIN and it's a NB50 1986.

Do you know a place where I can find that 85-87 version??

Google around. If anyone finds a free link please post. There are hits for paid downloads. Also eBay has paper copies for sale.
