Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

been gone for a while. i remember a couple other people and i were hearing a whirring sound after installing taz's gears a year or so ago. any more people have that issue? i only put about 20 miles on my spree since installing them, and yesterday i decided to take it back apart. only noticed a few t...

i'm the other guy with the whirling gear sound after taz's gear swap. my spree only has 3000 miles on it and before the swap there was no sound at all from the gearbox. hey, what year of spree do you have odinxxix? mine's an 87. it could be a year thing. also, were you able to salvage the gasket, di...

yeah, i triple checked. how many washers are there?

i could only find one..

thanks for the help guys. i got it out. actually had to hammer it pretty hard... so now i got it back together, but don't have the bbk in yet. it didn't slow down the lowend that much. i get a little more noticeable kick at around 5-10 mph, don't have a gps to test top speed though. another thing, i...

so i got taz's gears a few months ago and finally decided to put them on because it getting close to riding weather. :coolcruise: i got everything apart and put the bigger gear in, but i can't get the smaller gear out. (sorry, i'm new to this, don't know any technical names). so i mean, i got the la...

thanks for the replies guys

oh! and is the nut reverse thread? i'm pretty sure it's not, just want to be careful

i'm having a heck of a time getting the nut off of the clutch outer on my 87 spree. trying to install taz's gears but that nut is the only thing stopping me. i looked at the tech docs and i don't have the parts to make the clutch holder :oops: i tried wrapping a leather belt around the outer, puttin...

sounds like it's lean, and you may need to clean the carb. does it have the air filter?

is he testing different gears on us? the first one that someone already bought were 16/81. like the title says.

but if you see his new listing, it's titled as 15/81. and the description says 15/82.


what's the deal?

okay, i was kind of thinking it might be something like that

speaking of all of this compression, when i first got my spree i oiled the cylinder to prevent it from seizing. (i have my reasons). when i put the plug back on, i kicked it over and it seized. took the plug out, kicked over again. plug back on, standing on the kickstart wouldn't turn it over! plug ...

have you made sure the transmission has oil? the very rear of it, there's a bolt a couple inches up from the bottom. the oil level should be just below the bolt

yeah, stock pipe fit's. it's just a bored out oem stock cylinder to my knowledge.

everything you need but an exhaust gasket
