Re: 1999 Elite S w/ Polini Corsa: What GEARS ?

I wanted to be able to ride it until I put the corsa kit on. And the 68 jet that is in it is not safe in my opinion so I have not been running it at all until it comes. It's only 18 bucks. And my friends have elites, and it's nice to be able to help my other scooter buds be able to find what jet the...

Re: My 1999 Elite S with 230 miles.

Ah I see. Sorry about that. When viewing on my phone the text is super small. My apologies. That's an awesome machine you have. I bet you get compliments everywhere when riding. I took out the elite for a small ride last night and stopped at the Honda dealer. Everyone there was excited about my scoo...

Re: My 1999 Elite S with 230 miles.

Thanks bud! He was handicapped. I think it scared him to only be able to go 20. His SR did at least 35 with him on it. My mother didn't want me to do anything to it for him, as she doesn't understand mechanical stuff. Now that I've de restricted it I'm sure he would have a big smile one his face.

Re: My 1999 Elite S with 230 miles.

I was a mechanic at the Honda dealer that sold this scooter to my uncle, although I worked there years after. So I am going up there to see if I can get the paprework from the original sale ...

Re: My 1999 Elite S with 230 miles.

Thank you both for your kind words. I have built 2 elites, and 2 Zuma''s in the past. Both in the 55 to 60 mph range. My fiancee has a zuma that does 50, and right now this does 35 mph with me on it (215 lbs) and 38 mph with my fiancee on it (115 lbs). So i would like to at least keep up with her. M...

My 1999 Elite S with 230 miles.

He got this one brand new and was to scared to ever ride it anywhere, for he thought it was 1: way to slow (he was 300+ l...
