Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Hey guys, I know I haven't been around much (yet again..) Just want to share, I've recently come to realize I've been in a pretty toxic relationship over the past few years, that has thrown me off and hampered my scooter hobby pretty significantly. Among living a more balanced life, in general.. Onl...

Fantastic! Thank you for efforts noise and everyone else.

Will parse thru and report back if I notice any thing a miss.

so this here looks like the infamous (albeit, hard to track) flip-cone mod?? wish the other pics loaded.. many years and moons after last post.. And in this day of rampant parts unavailability, I've just picked up the only PG Long newly listed on ebay!! woohoo Have had good success with the Long on ...

What year elite? SE50 type one looks very similar, would need to cross ref and check. but if so, ebay options: https://www.ebay.com/itm/384403504434?hash=item59803bfd32:g:nT8AAOSw7PxhR-Cf https://www.ebay.com/itm/383441055949?fits=Model%3AElite+50%7CMake%3AHonda&hash=item5946de30cd:g:MvcAAOSwlPF...

Found an alternative! Until the actual webpage is fixed, it is possible to access an older snapshot of this reference treasure trove, via "thewaybackmachine" internet archive. Eg, see this snapshot here: https://web.archive.org/web/20171025090501/http://hondaspree.net/wiki/index.php5?title...

hot dam! with some creative sleuthing, was able to find the info I was looking for!! Used "thewaybackmachine" and a snapshot of an older wikispreedia, and wala! https://web.archive.org/web/20171021045356/http://hondaspree.net/wiki/index.php5?title=Transmission_Reduction_Ratios :woot: of no...

So with wikispreedia down, this thread on trans gear options is all I could find: http://hondaspree.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10334 But it too, has some dead links to the gear ratio spreadsheets, as far as I can tell. More specifically, am trying to figure out gear options on a SYM DD50. Re...

Hey Noise, any updates? Still not showing up. Trying to reference some trans gear ratios.

Capture+_2021-06-16-17-42-02.jpg Note, noticed boost port had a huge booger glob of case sealant left over from original manufacture. Easily covered 50% area, and probably the easiest thing to fix while I was at it. Probabbly what kept me from getting 60+mpg in 50cc guise... :lol: jajaja 20210403_1...

A few pics of the progress

Stage 2 has been a mixed bag. Much more fun to ride!! But a harder hit to MPG than anticipated.. Let me break it down. Stage 2 (All Stage 1 Mods) -BR8HSA sparkplug -3.00-10 R. Tire + Polini Contessa 72cc Bore kit, chamfered ports, used piston (cleaned up) NCY Exhaust Stock carb, needle 1clip richer...

for science, tire swap from 3.00-10 to 3.50-10 resulted in +0.8 lb. overall gain. Seemingly low, but apparently significant when at 50cc power levels.

pro: more sidewall = comfier ride.
