Re: noob needs help deciding to buy

I agree with both previous posters...SKIP the Spree. To find a GOOD candidate scooter for modification, you'll need to be vigilant in watching the market.

Re: Headlights and turn signals suddenly don’t work

I know nothing about your specific model.
My first thought is this: the switching for both items is on the same control handle.
Maybe a fault there.

Good luck friend...motor

Re: Chinese Carb Success(?)

following...I am sometimes amazed by the amount of resistance that a speck of debris can muster when habitating the microscopic but essential pilot orifice. While I have also taken up various probing utensils, I find that the purposely sized (K&L jet cleaning wire set) to be one of the best add...

Re: 1987 Honda Spree idles then dies, difficult restart

You didn't mention petcock. Your issue is probably slow fuel delivery. Petcock can be the culprit. Try taking vacuum hose off at the carb and sucking on it to see if fuel is flowing strongly or not. Also, try this...run it until it dies, then open the drain screw on the float bowl to see if any fue...

No info available as far as I know.

Plenty of engine swaps have been done,
but your particular situation and model are not known in the USA.

Consider this:...my value is just an opinion. Fully optioned with 3-500 miles, and in pristine condition is likely to bring $5000 or more in a big auction setting. Always you'll expect premium money on the coasts, less in the interior. In these times of exploded values, small bore motorcycles have ...

Hello, new member here with a question on the NS50F. I’m looking to purchase one and was wondering if anyone can help me with what’s a good price to pay for one? I want the one that has everything on it like the upper fairings, a radiator shroud, a lower cowl, a tachometer, and an engine guard. Als...
