Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Don't feel bad, i rode yesterday and when I got stopped near the end of my ride, I realized my turn signal broke off. Dunno how. The bracket held on was aluminum so I imagine it got shaken to death. Sucks

I like the look of the taiwan bike. It's def interesting. I saw those for sale at an Aprilia dealer because they were only 1800-2000 bucks out the door. Run well?

that thing's crazy. how well do the disks work?

Sweet... lets get this going! Consider me in!.... (raises hand)raises hand)

Ic, well as with everything, you gotta commit to make it work. I'm by no means a member but I like to ride when my ped is running and am somewhat discouraged when I hear about people quitting clubs when times get tough. That's no way to go.

Why should it be dead? There are still a ton of people around the D that wanna ride. It just seems to be impossible to get people together unless people commit to a ride at least once a month or something. Why not just schedule more rides? I'm kinda disappointed since now my ped runs great.

I think I have a bit of a problem on my spree. I had poor compression so I replaced the rings with a new set from honda and put it all back together. When I tried to start the spree, an 85 model, it cranked several times and then fired up for a moment. I started to adjust the carb to dial it in a bi...

I have a noob type question. As I am rebuilding my first motor I would like to know if I have a honed out cylinder... do I need bigger rings, or bigger rings and a bigger piston. Also, are there really 3 rings instead of just two? I saw an illustration with what looked like a third ring below the bo...

I'm gonna call around and see if I can't find one. Hopefully I can get it all put back together without any problems. It took quite a while to disassemble the motor. I still need a gear puller for the part that charges the battery.. the dyno? Not sure what it's called. It's stuck steadfast to the cr...

crap.. nevermind.. hairline crack in the piston, i took it out and the bottom just fell apart. Amazing how fragile they are. Anyone have a new or good piston and ring set?

How will i know if just the rings are bad? I just pulled the head and the piston and cylinder looks fantastic.

I only have 65psi compression on my 85 spree! When I bought it a few days ago it was said to be freshly rebuilt. I ran premix through it to ensure proper lubrication but I suppose it had some straight gas still in the carb and had been run a bit before I bought it. Oil pump seems to be primed now bu...
