Re: Honda Elite SA50 Performance options?

First thing I did was get a new variator. You can find some cheap ones but I'd say it's worth it to get a polini variator. Pretty easy upgrade to gain mph.

Re: AF16E Variator???

I bought a polini vari for mine and it goes 40mph with everything else stock besides derestricting it.

Re: 1989 SB50P Elite 50E vexing problem??

Honestly though, why did Honda even make the SB50? It's like they went back in time. I have an SE50P, SB50P, and SA50P. The SB50P was so hard to figure out problems with the carb to get it to run properly.

Re: 1987 Elite SB50P

Oh yeah sorry about that, it is an SE50P. The previous owner rejetted it and put an aftermarket vari also.

1987 Elite SE50P

Picked this up a few weeks ago. Body was in rough shape, but it ran fine. Had to repaint it and add some aftermarket turn signals. Goes close to 40mph!

Re: What kind of Elite's are these? Anything special?

Looks like they both have the storage trays on them and that's the only thing missing on mine!

Re: '88 Elite SB50P Runs Great but won't Idle

Ended up cleaning the gas tank because there was junk sitting in the bottom of it. Then I bought a new petcock because the filter was bad on it. After that I cleaned out all the jets and that recessed area. Put it some clean gas and it fired up. Had to make some adjustments to the carb to slow down ...

Best way to clean an Elite?

What is the best way to clean an Elite? Not just the plastics, but everything on it. I picked up a few older elites a couple days ago and they aren't very clean.

Re: 1995 Honda Elite

Wouldn't it be SA50 or SA50P?

'88 Elite SB50P Runs Great but won't Idle

Picked up an '88 Elite SB50P a couple days ago. It starts up just fine with the electric start or kick start but it doesn't seem to idle very well. It will ride just fine, but if I let off the gas to idle it just shuts down. I've turned up the idle screw on the carb and it doesn't seem to help. Anyo...

Re: 1994 Honda elite s speed questions and ideas

My elite was hitting that speed also after I derestricted it. I bought a polini variator and I can hit just over 40mph on a flat road. My elite is basically stock besides that.

Re: My 1994 Honda Elite

Will an aftermarket air intake increase performance? Also are aftermarket CDIs good for a stock build?

Re: My '95 Elite

Looks great! I like how you cut the side skirt instead of just keeping it off.
