Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Very nice. I'd start with replacing anything and everything that is rubber. Rubber naturally deteriorates no matter how well the bike is stored.So your talking, tires, O-ring for the oil pump, vacuum lines, fuel lines, oil lines. Only 66 miles but you can see rust on the rims, guessing frame has it ...

Greetings:

Pretty good prices, there, VDubh, but I see Taiwan/ROC (Backwards) on the belt packages. Full disclosure please; Not Made in Japan from the looks of it.

It's in the service manual found here in the wiki. Also, there is a guy on YouTube who recently did a video talking about the electrical system, it's a pretty good watch and very helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-7KTGP-8vM

It's probably the pickup. I'd just do a "WANTED" ad here and over on the "HONDA SPREE RIDERS ASSOCIATION" Facebook page and see if anybody has one for sale: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2200893207

Could be. If so, then looks like you need to hunt down an original mount. Shouldn't be too hard to find one.

To break down a few thing by calling them plus or minus: -Mileage 04529 +Engine is free and runs but I was never able to get it started -No Key or Title -Has been converted to oil/gas mix previous owner was not using the oil reserve. -missing OEM air intake +All lighting and signals work but signals...

Trunk IS a Honda original. Too bad you don't have a key.

I agree. Basket and seat cover are aftermarket, trunk MIGHT BE authentic. Post some up close images of it if you can. I'm in the market for a good trunk in excellent condition with keys, if that's what you have, I might make you an offer.

Top one, I believe, is from an 84-85' model year, bottom is from an 86-87' Neither are Iowa and neither are restricted.

Might wanna get a new belt installed if you haven't already. As for the spinning, could be a couple things. 1. New padding just needs a bit of break in time, JWPartplus lines them pretty thick so might experience a slight rubbing on the bell till you've put a few miles. 2. bearings in the wheel migh...

I'd go maybe $40 on the glovebox since it's missing clips, maybe $50-60 for mat. Seat is worthless with tear, needs re upholstered. If you can find a sucker willing to pay higher, good luck.

Your 85' has the exact same gears as the 84-87 Iowa editions (12T). There is not a lower gear available.

No, but you'll want to do some intake modifications. Stock Spree intake just doesn't have what it takes. Links in my signature.

Like these? First thing that came up on ebay search. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Spree-NQ50-15-81-Upgrade-Gear-Set/372139759535?hash=item56a54217af:g:vdQAAOSwjXRXaLbt Yep, that would be the gears you need. Wouldn't run it without a BBK though, you'll be doing a Flintstones takeoff @49cc. If that...
