Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Heres my story:
Im recently moved to Japan from Australia for a teaching position, and after several months of catching public transport i bought a Dio Live J. As soon as i got it i started to mod the beast to get it faster. First i put a Zero muffler on which took a large amount low down torque but increased the speed to 75km.

I recently put a lighter pulley on which has had an unusual effect. It has taken the top torque and given me back some low down torque, which has reduced the speed to about 65km/h. Is this what they are suppose to do?

I put a pod filter on the other day, which i dont think does anything for power but sounds great. It was suppose to be weather proof but the other day when i drove to work the scooter just stopped and wouldnt start again. I took the pod of and found water had leaked into the carb from the pod. I put the stock box on and it started again and hasnt stopped again. I dont know much about hydrolock of two strokes? There doesnt seem to be any power loss? Have i damaged anything?

I just want some more power? Im starting to think a bore kit? Are these worth installing?

Sorry for all the questions but i have no other resource for information as i dont speak much japanese here, so it extra hard doing anything here.

heres a shot of the zorst.

and me

putting a lighter pully on it will do that, it gives it less centrifical force to make it faster, put heavyer weights in the variator ( pully ) and youll have that problem fixed

Ok, now wat is the variator pulley? Is that the little star shape metal thing that houses the rollers?

swap out the cdi unit with a u.s. version, get some kitaco rims! and i thought the japs were ahead of me lol!

Why is the Cdi unit better in the us version?

is it ture that if you car goes over 100mph that the cops cant go after you in japan like in toyko drift?

becaus teh us ones arent restricted, the jap ones are. yes thats the variator, you have to put heavyer weights in.

Yeah but is he japanese??? You think maddog is the man, he's a moron, he does not and never did sell parts for Quikfix, *, he buy's from them I sell to them how's that!

Ok the steel part is the ramp, the aluminum part is the variator/pulley
You need to increase your clutch stall speed -heavier/stronger springs will let the eng rev up and put you back in the power brand, then you can run heavier weights, the best made/longest lasting are daytona's ,but if they have a oko set buy that becasue it's cheaper and use that to tune.
when you put the pipe on did it come with a jet for the carb? if not you need to get one, the shop you bought the pipe from should be able to give you a ball park #

Thanks mate for the information i really appreciated it, i assume your talking of the clutch spring? Correct? If so i'll get one as next weekend.

A jet for the carb? Do you happen to have a pic of this?

To the other guys, im not Japanese, and yes i speed everywhere i go on my scooter. The police dont have a strong presence on Japanese roads. Theres plenty of street races at night doing crazy speeds through the city, the police dont have the same power as other countries and drive * cars.

Thanks so much mate, im going to try and get a hold of these tomorrow, do you recommend getting the centre Clutch spring as well as the other springs.

Where does the Jet Carb fit? Into the side of the carb? If i look at my carb today, is it possible to see where it attaches.
