Re: 1985 Spree / Powered by Yamaha Jog
Now, seems to be pivoting correctly.. engine mounts & shock mounts are good, time for my first test ride. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7338/16303533109_b2a73a8ca8_b.jpg I got two exhausts with the Jog setup but both are rough, the stock one is so rough its unusable (holes aplenty) https://farm...

Re: 1985 Spree / Powered by Yamaha Jog
We decided to trial a pin through both the outter casing of the mount and the newly machined inserts, that way the pins would lock it and stop pivoting from the motor side, allowing it to just swing from the frame. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8577/16488816452_fe1d2e4f04_b.jpg While we were at it ...

Re: 1985 Spree / Powered by Yamaha Jog
After some more trial and error and making up some vertical arms we were thinking this may just work. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7298/16303527759_068d85b951_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7364/16302361660_4cfa8213f4_b.jpg Threw down some ugly booger welds to hold it in place and see if our...

Re: 1985 Spree / Powered by Yamaha Jog
Once we had a rough idea of where we needed / wanted it to sit we had a few other things to consider with making up mounts. - We need the mounts to pivot - We need the mounts to allow the engine to be removable for if / when work needs to be done Keep in mind, neither myself or my buddy helping me h...

Re: 1985 Spree / Powered by Yamaha Jog
Of course we had quite a few hurdles to overcome.. the horizontal format of the Jog engine VS the vertical of the Spree.. the top mount position of the new engine VS the bottom of the Spree. Oh and of course, quite the physical size difference. Let the mockup and fabrication begin. https://farm8.sta...

Re: 1985 Spree / Powered by Yamaha Jog
After having it about a week and riding it less than a handful of times I started reading up on why this scooter was so slow as both of my previous scooters did 50-70 (one 2stroke, one 4 and both 49cc) I quickly learned that performance from the poor stock engine is pretty limited but wasn't ready t...

1985 Spree / Powered by Yamaha Jog
Hi all,
New to the forum as I recently picked up my first Honda Spree. I have owned a 91 Honda Giorno & an 03 Honda Ruckus in the past, but so far - loving the Spree more than both of those!
