Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Here's my nightly game of "find the elite" http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q314/ktown325/ped/workspace.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q314/ktown325/ped/workspace2.jpg Here's my stand, it leaves a 6" strip to set down nuts/bolts on each side. It supports my moped with me sit...

Neon pink, the only color worth painting.

Yup, just as its also illegal to go over 35mph, or bore past 50cc

If your fine with possibly finding another motor later then by all means go for it. Nothing lasts forever, and it's just a given that the more you deviate from stock, the less reliable it will be. A stroker will run for a while with good tuning and good oil. In general taiwan parts aren't known to l...

I use a pencil to get the tubes out, the jet just unscrews.
Although I only take out the main tube and the main jet, I heard the idle jet is flimsy.
Cleaned it like that many times, no problems yet.

Those performance shocks are often wider (or the adjustment collar on the bottom stick out) and they really hinder tire clearance. All my friends with aftermarket shocks have grooved tires.

As far as rebuilding things when they blow up, you can always throw a new bore on the top, but once you cut that crankcase for a stroker, there is no going back.

I know it's tempting when things seem really blocked + dirty, but I NEVER use metal while cleaning my carb. Carb clean + compressed air.

Well as far as bike tach's go, here's a little bit on how it works: When you first install a cyclocomputer on a bicycle, you have to enter the circumference of the wheel in millimeters. With that information, it can compute how far and how fast you've gone with every turn of the wheel. In this instr...

EDIT: I'm wrong, dont wanna spread misinformation

To be sure, check the engine stamp (on the trans cover, the very rear of the engine below the shock) or post a picture of it.

Any words of advice on how to set up a work space? I'd also like to see other people's pics. One thing I don't like is that the chair is a little low to work at the bench, and a little high to work on the scooters. My back hurts a little. Build a table to set your bikes on top. You'll be able to ge...

It will beat most cars, gets 50+ mpg, has a comfortable riding position, and I'd assume due to the light weight it should handle pretty well also. Unfortunately all the squids on sportbikes will laugh at you, as will 95% of the general public. Sure it's more than they can handle at 10/10'ths, but th...

You can mount the sensor on your flywheel if your good

aha, is the speedo calculated from the tire runout, like a bicycle speedo? the dude at the MC store here had no clue, he said the tach was driven off of the wheel speed sensor. ????? tach off wheel speed, wow sounds like a moron.. :lol: You can use a bike speedo as a tach, it's all about the number...

Centrifugal force will keep a large tire "inflated" (or at least it doesn't lose it's shape) unless you have an extreme blowout and the tire rips itself to shreds.

Only blowouts I've ever seen are people burning rubber
