Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

my elite only goes about 32 mph, i have derestricted it by grindng the exhaust washer and pulling the plate off of the variator, i have also cleaned the carb, did a plug chop, decarbonized the exhaust and did the rings, head gasket and base gasket , is this normal?

My elite is stock right now and jumps right up to 40, witch is really good. So yours is probley normal.

I had this problem, but mine would only go 27mph max. Today it goes over 35-37 and what I did was put in a new pulley, rollers and ramp plate (bought all on ebay for less than $50) and took about 45 minutes to put in.

Depends on your weight, wind direction and how hilly the area you ride in is.

If your rather light, don't have much wind and ride on a flatter road, that is a little slow..should get about 35. How many miles does it have, it might just need a need belt.

Is it a P model? they have crappier variators and exhaust systems.

yeah, its a sa50ps

The p has a smaller variator ramp and the pipe is of a cheaper crappier design.
