Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Trying to bring spree back to life. I can get it to run for a few seconds if I shoot gas through spark plug hole. I then pull plug and it has oil filling the gap. On a different bike, I had the oil pump leak and fill the crank case. I am wondering if I have the same issue here. I have cranked it wit...

I bought a 84 spree without a key. Found a cool youtube video on how to make a motorcycle key. I ripped into the spree and removed lock mechanism only to learn it is not like the video and I can't figure out how to remove the tumbler. Anyone know how to remove this? It appears pressed together. Have...

My stock exhaust is missing the final tube that comes out of the body of the muffler. Just a 1" hole there. Runs loud. I was thinking of adding a silencer. Looking through the hole into the body of the muffler, I see a 1/2" tube. Would I need to connect directly to that or do I weld to the...

It was too much air. I had the air box off and was test driving. I didn't think it would affect on top end but that was it. Thanks
Any idea on the clunky low end when accelerating slow? I think it has more to do with drive train than carb, etc. Not an issue if I go WOT from the blocks.

85 Spree-purchased a couple weeks ago. Had to drain oil out of crank case, etc but have it running. Changed fluids but didn't do a carb clean yet. Starts well, idles well, can drive it. If it go WOT, it revs, it get to 15-25MPH and engine dies. If I reduce throttle, it starts running again. I can pl...

Im told the bike sat for 7 years, it may have just seeped into crank case. What's my quickest way to drain it; pull cylinder and tip? Is that easier than cracking the case? You're right, I will need to pull and clean exhaust so that's why I thought to pull cylinder to drain.

Just bought a 85 Spree. Wouldn't start. I have spark, once I removed the oil from the plug. I cranked it with the plug out and it is blowing oil, hard. I assume the oil pump is shot and siphoning oil in. Yank the pump and plug the holes; then just run mixed gas? Easier option?
