Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

i've been searching for a dio motor for a while and i just havn't been able to find one. So ive decided im going to swap in a non dio elite motor. It may not have the potential to go 80, but at least it will be a * of a lot better than my spree motor, since it will have a variator.

my question is which motor should i get out of a:

1987 SE50 Elite 50 S
or 1988 SB50 Elite 50



vt cycles lists aftermarket parts for the se50 but not the sb50, so im guessing i want the se50?????

I have the 87 se50 with a little porting and polishing. 40 mph with my 192 pounds. Oh and high-speed pulley from vtcycles.

hows the acceleration? Reason im convinced it should be way better than the spree, is my buddy has an aero. We may have just about equal top speeds, but i get bogged down bad on hills, while he can carry two people on it and run up hills just fine. Mine won't go anywhere if two people are on it

The SB50 is a spree engine with a better intake(dont buy, no trans).

well i bid on the one on ebay. Im sick of waiting to find one. I know its kinda high priced being it doesn't come with the starter, carb, rear shock, or rear wheel. But since i have 3 spree starters, im wondering will they fit on this motor? Also can i use a spree carb and put a bigger main jet in? Do i need to get the shock or can i make a spree one work? What about the spree rear wheel?

What is the difference between a se50p and a se50 s?

Try putting a aero 85+ motor in there. They take the same parts as a dio am i right?

nope same as a SE except the 85 has a 2 bolt intake manifold that flows better.

oh. But still that would be better than an old elite motor right?

Yea but your stuck with a midgrade intake, you cant put a 4 bolt high flow on it. And that means your stuck with a close to stock carb unless you have tools to machine a new intake manifold.

p is restricted. You would need different variator and muffler. My se50p can wheelie!

P has smaller ramp and pipe is skinnier.
