Re: 1985 Spree / Powered by Yamaha Jog

Finally got mine running pretty well, and my buddies stretched limo Spree together and of course it runs beautifully as it's a near brand new Vino motor. We drove 2-3 hours to Washington for Hondafest on the weekend.. the Spree's got some love! http://bobbylisle.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/110964...

Re: Yamaha jog

Only issue is i can`t run the stock air box even if i wanted to, so im kind of left with jetting & needle position right now. I could change up carb, hack plastics etc to go back to stock air box.

Re: Yamaha jog

The stock air box wouldn't fit back on with Spree plastics so I went to a pod filter.
The exhaust isn't stock as this came up locally for sale.

Re: Yamaha jog

Nope, 68 mph strong and we can surely prove it Please come tune mine. Haha Sorry for Newb questions here. I've got a 93 Jog Motor (50cc) it came with no exhaust so I picked up a random one from craigslist for $40. Bolted up, got noticable gains from the rusty old one I had on prior. I have a pod ai...

Re: 1985 Spree / Powered by Yamaha Jog

Thanks guys.. my direction changes many times through this build. I originally started off wanting to keep it look as stock as possible... just clean & tidy like it was new... one thing lead to another and here we are :p

Re: 1985 Spree / Powered by Yamaha Jog

After many hours trying to get this girl running properly I discovered I had somehow switched throttle pins from another carb I had laying around.. rookie mistake. Today I took her for it's first decent ride.. and it was to get fuel. Cost around $2.00 to fill up. After taking it for short rides all ...

Re: 1985 Spree / Powered by Yamaha Jog

Back to my build (the red rocket)

After discovering the benefits to the center mount shock, we decided to ditch the old custom side mount, to a much better looking, more functional center shock setup.

Re: 1985 Spree / Powered by Yamaha Jog

Some more updates on the limo spree..

The reinforced floor is stronger than ever. He wanted to make it extra strong so he can have his daughter stand on the floor with no Rusk of bending.

Also a better look at the frame reinforcement and middle shock setup.

Re: 1985 Spree / Powered by Yamaha Jog

So my buddies Spree has progressed much quicker than mine, partially because we learned from my build, but also because he is bring in outside help from his welder buddies who make easy work of it all. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8565/16089488874_4c6dd8b5c1_b.jpg In addition to the extra length f...

Re: 1985 Spree / Powered by Yamaha Jog

My Spree has been sitting in my buddies shop while I make progress on it, he helps along the way and gradually I think he fell in love with the Spree, he bought his own. He doesn't really plan on daily riding his like I do mine but that doesn't mean he doesn't have big plans. Already about 12" ...
