Re: ****Official Non-Honda Picture Post****

Here's on of my projects I'm finishing up. AF16 powered Yamaha Razz. Also modified front Elite wheel to match. I'd really like to find a stock exhaust.

Re: Beloved 87 Honda Spree Won't Idle/Start with New Carb

Throw that cheap carb in the trash and diagnose whats wrong with the original. I'm guessing you read the Wiki?

Re: The Daily Chat

I LOVE those new Honda Cubs. Hopefully in the next few years I'll get one before they stop making them again. I just picked up this leftover 2018 Kawi Z125 Pro. Haven't had it out yet but seems promising. Got it for half MSRP! Already did the fender eliminator and added a windshield. 87037157_842419...

Re: 1987 razz disc brakes

I’m finishing the same swap and just modified the arms and hub to run the Elite front wheel. Matching wheels and bigger brakes.

Not sure why the picture is sideways.

Re: questions about my elite 50 setup

My last elite did 60mph with SR de-restriction, polini variator (tuned), 9:1 gears, and stock carb, airbox, exhaust.

Re: questions about my elite 50 setup

What scooter do you have? Elite with AF16? I would suggest doing one thing at a time. Start with basic maintenance, carb clean, trans tuning. Then start replacing parts one at a time. Otherwise you don’t know what’s working or hindering. Don’t bother with a cdi. It won’t be as reliable as stock and ...

Re: Not getting all the way on pipe

If the brakes are still a bit spongy with the new pads, get yourself a new pair of brake cables. They stretch over time. If your cables are 30+ years old you’ll definitely see a different in braking performance.

Re: NCY Exhaust Jetting AF16

Yeah the motor has 9k on it and a lot of carbon in the exhaust port but good compression and bearings.

The problem I’m having is lots of blue smoke and no power. I’m hoping the problem is my stock exhaust is plugged up. The exhaust is really heavy.

Re: NCY Exhaust Jetting AF16

Ok. Thanks for the response. I ordered one last night cause I think my stock exhaust is plugged. Hoping it’s an improvement.
