Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Will performance exhaust give better mph? I'm new to upgrading my 1989 Honda Elite.

yes, when properly tuned and with the right complimentary parts...

what kinds of part are we talking about?

Greetings:

Getting a new pipe is the edge of a deep gorge with a slippery slope. Pipe alone won't do much and likely to cost over $100, even new.

If you want a little more pre-formance from your scooter but don't want to blow your beer budget, I suggest you consider a Keli or OkO variator for $40-$60. It will improve your low midrange nicely and buys 4-5 MPH on top with no other mods.

If the air filter, Carb, Intake mani, reeds, ports, & bore are all improved, the stock pipe certainly can become the limiting factor preventing higher RPM. Then you'll need a pipe. Until then just consider drilling a baffle or two if you can live with a bit more noise.

my elite e cruises at 45 with the leo vince sp3 and a koso variator, it has a uni filter with a stock carb and polini reeds. stock it would cruise at 35, 40 on downhills, now it hits just about 50 on the downhill.

i take it they don't make variators for a 87 spree?

nope. spree is variatorless. not much you can do besides...dio swap

haha. yeah. i can't even get it running, let alone a swap

technically the elite e has no variator either, mine has an se50 motor in it, so now it does!

I have an elite E. What mods can I make to it? Suggestions?

if you know how to port a cylinder that and mill the head a little to increase compression.you can also put a taller tire for a longer roll out so its like dropping a gear size in the back.I think tire size is 2.50x10 on the elite e so go to a 3.00x10 in the rear.should give you about 2-3mph on top.

If the 3" fits, I calculate a theoretical gain of 2.01 MPH if you can achieve the same peak RPM. This is based on a current top speed of 30. It's 6.7 % bigger than a 2.5".

A 44mm bore and 37.5mm stroke yields a displacement just under 58 cc.

Thanks fellas. So basically, swapping out gears, new pulleys won't do it then? I would need to swap out the engine?

yes. nothing is available for the poor little elite e. many things are available for nb/se50, and even more for af16.
