Re: ??? Anybody have a better link so I can restore this POS

Just a quick update, the Spree is now running. Drained all that 15 year old gas and oil, changed out a couple hoses, changed the starter, and put a new air cleaner in it. HAD to do the air cleaner. I'm guessing that is the main thing that was preventing it from running because it acts almost like a ...

Re: ??? Anybody have a better link so I can restore this POS

P.S. I was having a conversation with my daughter (who is 15) tonight. I just recently bought her, her own new cell phone, she told me she felt weird because she got a new phone and a new bike, and that other kids at school were not so lucky. I told her, yes, she is a GOD D.A.M.N. brat and I am very...

Re: ??? Anybody have a better link so I can restore this POS

Just wanna say, if my son DOESN'T do like I want and take to the Spree, then it WILL be for sale. My asking price will only be what I put into it. How much that will be at this point, is anybody's guess, but I am honest and will provide a breakdown of components for any potential buyer. I will be re...

Re: ??? Anybody have a better link so I can restore this POS

It's only temporarily going to my daughter. She already has a brand new Tao Tao ATM50-A1 that I bought her (pink). Just need to teach her how to drive them first, and that's where the beat up Spree comes in VERY VERY handy. I even got her personalized plates and a customized license plate frame. Tha...

Re: ??? Anybody have a better link so I can restore this POS

Yeah, well, I figured from the start that it was just a plain ole average bolt, but then I have never worked on a Spree, and honestly, the last time I even remember even seeing one, was probably back in the late 80's. So I get the thing, and see that it is missing, my first thought is... hmm, I wond...

Re: ??? Anybody have a better link so I can restore this POS

Thanks guys. My next question is about the alternator...kind of.. So like I said, I want to pimp it a bit with mirrors that have the built in FM/MP3 player. The ones I was looking at also have blue LED lights around them which makes me want to do some LED straps on the side. My concern is how much m...

Nobody has ever reported any benefit from using the aftermarket "performance" CDI in Spree...the OEM is always considered best.
OK, I'll keep that in mind. Still looking around the forums to learn more about the bike.

Re: ??? Anybody have a better link so I can restore this POS

The cdi is not restricted. "If it's a POS don't waste money on NOS" We are trying to tell you that it is an "6x16 bolt" and that it can be brought at any place that carries any hardware bits. And the spree isn't a POS, its only a POS if you treat it like it is Actually, I'm only...

Re: *??? Anybody have a better link so I can restore this PO

Jumps couldn't be more right on the tires! Those look to be the stock 30 year old rubber on that little fella. The rubber will be hard and not have the grip in a panic stop situation or a harder turn. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if those are the original tires. They looked pretty worn, so yep...

Re: *??? Anybody have a better link so I can restore this PO

I would check here on the forum on how to check to if your spree is an Iowa spree, seeing that you are in Iowa that's a pretty good chance. Iowa sprees are restricted with a washer in the exhaust and a smaller main jet, 65 where the other sprees have a 68 jet. The restriction may be great for a you...

Re: ??? Anybody have a better link so I can restore this POS

Don't come here telling us you work on Victory and Indian motorcycles, then tell us you need help finding a 6x16 bolt. You don't need a better Link. Links don't repair motorcycles. Guys with wrenches do. The bolt wasn't the issue I had, and was the LEAST of my issues. It was the shipping costs. If ...

Here is what the Spree looks like now, I guess you can call it the BEFORE picture.
