Re: Elite 80 Warm up
This is sorta late, but I always hate when somebody has a problem and there was no resolution posted. So I did a valve adjustment as Spree suggested and replaced the bystarter and the scooter runs perfect! the one valve was tight and probably hanging open causing it to run lean and thus the need to ...

07 Honda Elite 80 Valve Cover Seeping
Im doing a valve adjustment as part of winter maintenance on my 07 Honda Elite 80 with 7,000 miles on it. When I go to do my valve adjustment ( I did the last one about 2,000 miles ago ) I clean off the valve cover and reuse the valve cover gasket which seems fine, but 2,000 miles later I have this ...

07 Honda Elite 80 Crankcase Breather Separator
When taking the sides off my 07 Elite 80 with 7,000 miles on it to do a valve adjustment and oil change I noticed the Crankcase Breather Separator has oil all over it. The lines coming to it are clean. I pulled the plug out from below and a little oil came out. I looked in the owners manual and serv...

Re: Elite 80 Warm up
So I bought it. I got it home and this is the best way I can describe it. Stone cold, I press the starter and it immediately starts, it runs for maybe 8-10 seconds and may sputter and come back or sputter and die. I start it again and does the same thing. This goes on for maybe 3 times. Then I jump ...

Elite 80 Warm up
Im going today to look at a 2007 elite 80 with 4,000 miles. The owner says he bought it new. I asked him if it runs good and he said yeah, but you have to let it warm up a minute before riding. He claims its always been that way since new. Is this normal? What is an acceptable warmup time? Thanks, Joe

Is $800 for a 2007 Elite 80 a good price?
Hi all,
I have a honda spree 50 and found a 2007 Elite 80 with 4,000 miles for $ 800. Is this a fair price to pay? I havent shopped around much, but on craigslist it looks like 1000-1200 is the going rate for 06-07. Anything I should look out for when I go to look at it?
Thanks,
Joe
