Re: Which two should I modify? (nb50, se50, sa50, xx50...?)

Very nice collection. The porting on the '87 cylinder is better than the '86. The '87 to 98 difference could be rollers , belt wear, exhaust build up, compression, carb tune...

Re: Fallout's new Zuma project!!

If you want to represent for yamaha, you have to go with blue. You could paint the gold fork accents to white. What is the end use of the bike?

Re: just started to mod a 2000 elite s i need help!

When you premix without upjetting, you are leaning out the air /fuel mixture. The 2oz of oil will displace 2oz of gas. The You need to upjet from the S to the SR main jet when you open the exhaust and air box tab. Going another size bigger for premix and no engine shrouds would be better.

Re: Screaming noise coming from trans?

Can you turn the gears by hand without binding? If so, noiseguy is right, you're going to have to adapt to straight cut primaries or switch to secondaries.

2t elite idle 1800 ┬▒100 rpm
4t GET engine 2000 ┬▒100 rpm

The engine rpm will be higher than the clutch at engagement. The belt drive reduction will lower the actual clutch rpm.

Re: need a key....help

Some dealers don't want the liability of selling a thief the means to steal a bike. Take the lock and your registration into your dealer. It cost about $10 to have a new key cut at my dealer.

Re: changing the spree front end?

Welding a used sumac front end may be more economical. Same tire size as a ruckus.

Re: Forbidden Fruit....Honda Solo

Next time, try getting a notarized bill of sale. It is legally recognized and costs around $25.

Good luck on your recovery.

Re: changing the spree front end?

You'll need to reinforce the frame. Cutting and welding. Check the scooter builds section, I think Tjamz has a step by step guidance.

Re: Flywheel puller size for elite

That is a female puller. It is used when the stator is mounted to the side case instead of the crank case.

Re: Which performance exhaust?

That is a great buy. GBP must be strong right now, it'd cost close to $250 USD for one of those.

Re: UK Honda Vision NE50 MF - newbie performance advice soug

While I have no experience with those 2 proms pipes, the promas I've had have been good performers.

Personally, I would go with the wild lion. It is a proven exhaust, looks street legal, has a solid 2 bolt hanger bracket, and seems like a slightly higher quality pipe.
