Re: Just got a Honda Elite 80
I pulled off the side cover, and the clutch bell has lots of lines from galling. One clutch shoe has two bits of steel debris embedded into it and a good size gouge. From the looks of it, I'd say its assembly burrs that got into the clutch area early on. Who knows though. I have a nearly new clutch ...

Re: Noob with an '85 Gyro
Very cool, would love to see PICS!
There used to be a guy at the local flea market who used a Gyro to get around. Only one I ever saw in the flesh. It was well used.

Re: Just got a Honda Elite 80
I have some 9g rollers I may try to put in this weekend, too. The clutch has been making some noises, so I'm going to pop the cover off and check it all out. When taking off from a stop, I get a screech from the clutch area for a couple seconds. I'm thinking its glazed. I didn't notice when I bought...

Re: 1987 Honda Elite 50
I doubt there are any kits or anything such.
If you're really handy and technically able you could figure out something.

Re: Just got a Honda Elite 80
It has a brand new Michelin S1 on the rear. The front is a dry rotted original. I'm probably going to go with a new S1 on the front so they match. Will definitely go Conti on the next set though. The only vibration I get from the front that I'm noticing is in the front fairing/bodywork areas... soun...

Re: Elite 80 CH80 Project?
The ch80's are not for everyone, especially if you are used to the snappy acceleration of a two stroke or small sport bike. With that said, after owning mine for 5 years and roughly 12000 miles now, I'm still in love. The spaceship styling quickly grew on me after the first year, and the overall si...

Re: Just got a Honda Elite 80
My last scoot was one of these turds- http://www.autoevolution.com/images/moto_models/GEELY_JL-50QT-21-2005_main.jpg was a Chinese Vino-knockoff called the Geely Fashion or something like that. Was good for 24mph stock... I eventually got about 32mph out of it. It lasted less than 2k miles. I knew i...

Re: Just got a Honda Elite 80
Greetings: Welcome. That looks like a good clean example. What year? 2001. The previous owner used it sparingly in a retirement park. It looks more or less new except that in all that garage time, it looks like something fell into it. Typical. I normally don't like loud colors, but I'm really diggi...

Just got a Honda Elite 80
I've wanted one of these for quite a while and finally pulled the trigger on one. My last scooter was a POS from China. I've lurked here a bit and figured I'd go ahead and join. http://images.craigslist.org/01616_3BVFPeZV9yw_600x450.jpg I love this scooter already. Being able to go faster than 30mph...

While I'm not from the UK, my better half is from Glasgow.
