Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I just got my hands on a 1987 Honda Elite 50. It says that it only gets up to 30 mph. I wondering if there was anything that I could do to get it up to 40-45 mph. I don't have a lot of expertise in this sort of thing, and I don't want to spend much money on it, but I am sure a couple friends and I can do some simple modifications. Thank you.

Drill two plates form the muffler (put a drill in the tip and drill 2 plates, sounds like a dirtbike and helps everything a little). After that you need an impact gun to remove the drive pulley (under the engine cover on the left side) and check if there is a plate on the back held on with 3 bolts.

de ristrict the exhaust and get a high speed variator with 9 gram rollers heres one on ebay that i got http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RACE-VAR ... enameZWD1V

wow, thats cheap.

I might get that for one of my mopeds that has a Gy6 clone in it. Thanks for the link.

I agree, that's a great price. Can you confirm that it will fit the pre '94 Elite 50 engines (non Dio type) as I have a thought lurking in the back of my mind that they have a smaller crank spline.

Which engine did you put it on?

Clive.

i took a highspeed pulley from a 92 motor and put it in my 96. It works fine.

Im looking at getting this one in ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_ATV-Par ... 0227491338&
It comes with 3 sets of weights, what would be the end results (pros & cons) of using lighter vs. heavier weights?

its a tuning game.

every bike works the best with a different weight. 7.5 is avg.

So this auction looks good cuz it would allow me to try 7g, 9g or 10g weights correct?

You can adjust the timing manually as well with some modifications.

What does timing have to do with this???

This is going to be a noob question, but what does a racing variator do?... is it similar to getting a lightweight flywheel on a car?

the ramp is different.
better angle for take off, and bigger overall size to get better top end.

that variator that i posted is what i got it works awesome comes with 9gram but i put some yamaha vino 4grams in it rocks. for derestricted it adds 8 mph easy

LOl how do i make a spree go over 30. my bros wont make it over. Any mods we could add?
