Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Mike that 71 Bird is just begging for a CR125 engine. I find mini bike frames without engines go quite cheap on this side of the state, watch garage sales, flea markets and CL. Usually $40-$75 with seat, tires, without engine. Its the cost of the twist throttle, chain and centrifugal clutch that sta...

If you have a dirty/rusty fuel tank, the carb cleaning will be a perpetual ritual. The fuel filter screen is located on the petcock inlet inside the tank, remove petcock to clean screen. The carb needs to be spotless and the bystarter needs to function. There are small orifices and hidden passageway...

Of all the Spree's I've owned and ridden, I have never checked the mileage. On any of my scooters, I have never driven more than 200 miles in one day. On my Elite 150 it gets 85 miles per gallon and tops out at 64 MPH, no wind no windshield. On my Elite 250 it gets 66 miles per gallon and tops out a...

That third picture shows a good sized chunk missing from the cylinder , the second picture shows a tiny chip missing. I wonder how far that crack extends, did you magnaflux to see if the crack continues ? I realize that the piston doesn't use that spot as thrust support, and that the rings don't con...

There are four guys in a large town near me who part out Spree's, so there is an abundance of Spree parts locally, also quite a few show up on Craigslist, but ever since that show "Pickers" and " Storage wars", everyone now thinks their junk is gold. I think you should be able to...

There are a lot of scooter owners on here from Michigan. I wanted to let everyone know that there is a scooter club in Grand Rapids and you are welcome to join their weekly rides. Every Thursday weather permitting, the group gathers about 6PM at Kava House at 1445 Lake Drive near Eastown. We sociali...

Despite your blown engines, I know why you go back to the Dragon.

I plan to go back and I live 12 hours from it.

Cant say enough good about Fontana village resort, join the Dragonslayers club and presto... cheap stay.

Fontana dam is rich with history, played a big part in WW2.

While I have not actually done it, there is a way to pressurized the engine to check for leaks, the dirt bike guys do this. They bolt a plate with gasket where the carb goes, they bolt a plate with gasket where the pipe goes, then they pressurize the crankcase and watch the pressure gauge for loss. ...

Yeah I had a great time on the Dragon, Moonshiner 28 and on the Cherohala. You are fortunate to live so close, I drove 12 hours to get your neighborhood. My photos were on all the three photo sites. Isn't there a Harley shop by the Dragon and another on the West side of the Cherohala loop ? That Kat...

Put a GY6 in it, heck put a GY7 in it, sell me the left over garbage scrap NH125 engine.

Has anyone here ridden the " Three Sisters" also known as " Twisted Sisters" in Texas ??
I hear it is a 130 mile loop with twisties and views equal to the Dragon.
If you have please post about it.

While I dont know what pipe that is, perhaps knowing the year , make , CC's and model of scooter will help the experts here. Did you know the Grand Rapids Scooter club rides on Thursday nights ? They meet at Kava House on Lake drive about 6PM, then kickstands up at Six Thirty for a 30-50 mile ride, ...

The Grand Rapids Scooter club rides every Thursday night weather permitting, you and your girlfriend are most welcome to ride with us. We meet at the Kava House on Lake drive, most people arrive shortly after Six PM , we talk/ mingle, then kickstands up at Six thirty. Usually a 30-50 mile ride befor...

MInibike frames pop up for sale in the Grand Rapids area quite a bit, usually on Craigslist or flea markets, sometimes garage sales. Usually what stops the average persons project of sticking a snowblower engine on a minibike frame is the cost of clutch, chain, throttle controls, then the frame beco...

I did a little checking on the filter foam measurement and found my stash, the Twin Air foam I use is 10mm thick and orange. I think we bought it out of England. I am running that on four Motocompo's and two Gyro's seems to function just fine. I use a hydraulic table from Harbor Frieght for all my s...
