Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I have a variated spree engine i would probably let go.

Backstory: I scooped up an elite 250 for a song. Cleaned carb, gas tank, and drained coolant (super nasty) Crank, hit, ran like a champ. Let it heat up to do a thorough coolant flush.

Sounds like my issue!!!!!
Will Inspect when I get time.

I don't know if I have some coolant lines messed up or what. I got the bike apart and nothing was labeled. It will start and continually emit quite a bit of smoke.

How do you tell the difference between to GOOD and BAD long chinese clones?
Are there some names to hop on and others to run from?
