so whats available for this bike? what mods can i do (based on whats available) to make this bike faster. ive searched around the forum for awhile but i decided to make my own thread, due to the confusion between the different models... so what would you do first if the bike was yours? thanks

well to do the best mods you should have gotten a 94-01 elite. They have the good dio engine in them. But you could drill your baffles in the exoust.

88-93 elites are saddly a thing of the past.
a year ago you could have bought a bore kit, high speed pulley, and a few other things. Now, its really hard to find bore kits, finding a pipe is next to imposable, and over all the parts are getting rare.
Daywot, a guy on ebay sometimes has parts for them, he is about the only one i know. But in all honestly i would really avoid modding this bike. I had a 92 Sr that i put allot of money into, and for everything i had into it, the speed was no that great.
Fully modded your looking at like $400 in parts, and a top speed of 45-50mph.
If you can find a 94-01 elite motor, thats what you want, you can get a stock one, spend $100 and get 50mph easy. I wasted allot of time and money on my 92 motor. Once i got a 96 i realized that the difference is huge. My stock 96 was as fast as my 92 with a 63cc bore kit.
But if this motor is all you can get, i would have to say get like a highspeed pulley, and drill a baffle or two out of the tail pipe, and get a bigger jet. Call up VTcycles at (808) 593-7733. They are the best for getting scooter parts. Yes there in Hawaii but there shipping is cheap.

thanks for the reply. ya i knew i didnt have the good motor, i got the bike for free so thats why i have it. the body of the bike is in bad shape but it only has 1000 miles on it so it runs really strong. so it wouldnt be worth putting the dio motor in it.. not that i could find one anyway...
1. questions whats a high speed pulley? is it the variator? will a high speed pulley effect my take off?
2. i need a air filter what uni filter do i get for the stock carb?link?
3.does a dio exhaust have the same flange as my motor? im thinking about buying an exhaust and cutting and welding it to fit anyone done this or have any thoughts on this? i could always use my stock flange and fab the pipe so it would work. what would be the closest exhaust i could buy?
thanks

This is what my bro is thinking of doing on his spree. (If you are good cutting and welding) Cut the end of the pipe that you have. (the part that hooks up with the motor.) Then cut and weld so it fits good on the bike. Then cut the end that atatches to the motor on your new one and weld the old one onto that so that it will fit good. I think that would work good. If he does it i will post some pictures. but idk

Also this is a great High preformance exoust. idk about the fitting But it would deffently improve your speed and exselleration.

LOL NOOOOOO
a PG long is a 90cc pipe. Putting it on a 72cc dio is ok, because the top end pays off for the sloppy take off. But putting it on a 49cc 93, or a spree?!?!
It would have no take off at all, you would probalby have to push it to get going, and it would hardly help top end.
i would say like an R1 maybe, because i have heard of that being used on 50cc with good results.
[Also, if you could edit your post and cut down that link, that would be nice. its kinda making the page really wide]

1. yes, its just a different variator, but it is slighly bigger, with a different angel ramp. Meaning it gives the same take off, better mid range, and like 5+ mph to the top end.
2. Talk to the guys at VT cycles, i cant remember what i got, but they will know.
3. R1? Just talk to VT and see what they think.
if i remember right, the difference between the dio and the 93 is that the dios exhaust port is flat. the 93 is slightly angled at like 30 degrees.

why do most people run muffler style exhausts on there elites? wouldnt a expansion chamber exhaust be better... just curious

not really.
Most of them are very loud. And the silencer allways has to get repacked.
There are a few people who run them, but people i talk to who have run both
swear by the normal type. However there is one type of expansion chamber
that everyone loves and that is an Arrow, But those are super rare.
Im not sure whats so great about the normal style mufflers, its just what
works best i guess.
