CVT Issues, it feels like it starts on 4th Gear

Hi, I took apart this old CH80, 1987, replaced the tranny bearings and cleaned the carb. After I finished I noticed the rear wheel makes a grinding noise, it is not smooth and loose, but it rotates freely, so I don't care too much about that noise. Anyway, it starts with one touch but it has no powe...

Re: Honda Elite CH80 - Weird Noise on back wheel

Yes, I bought them online for a fraction of the "stealer" cost. Ie, the final shaft bearing costs were. Dealer $29 Online $9 The scooter took a * amount of water and it is running pretty darn rough on low speeds, sometimes it lacks of accelleration. I got a lot of water out of the filter b...

Re: Honda Elite CH80 - Weird Noise on back wheel

It took a lot of water while waiting for hte parts and I don't know where to start. I guess it will be a game of elimination. Fil...

Re: Honda Elite CH80 - Weird Noise on back wheel

Update: ( In case this helps someone out there) I opened the transmission and the final shaft was very loose, it had a lot of play, so I am going to replace the bearing. Taking it apart is not that difficult. I hope reassembly is just as easy and I don't end wiht "spare parts" Once the scr...

Re: CH80 Elite Transmission Flush

I got it out, it is a tight fit. I used my regular socket and the good old hammer.

Thanks,

CH80 Elite Transmission Flush

The manual calls for two bolts, the inspection/Fill and the drain.

I don't seem to be able to get any tool to fit that bolt, I can't even reach it.

Is it required to take apart the tranny cover?

Thanks!

Honda Elite CH80 - Weird Noise on back wheel

After some work, I got this girl going again. But now, the rear wheel is making noise, like cracks or pops. It is somewhat loose. What should I start with? Could it be the main wheel connector or bearings? Does it have bearings? Your help is appreciated it, F http://www.hondaspree.net/phpBB3/posting...
