Flash 9: A Malfunction! (Heavens to Betsy!)
Greetings: It somehow came to my attention that Flash 9's brake lamp was no longer functional. As Feruccio famoously said, "What's-a behind me is-a not important", but I have to pass a State Inspection. I removed all the rear plastics before realizing that the lenses come off with 2 screws...

Re: 1998 Elite SR low top speed
Greetings: Thet-thar's ^^ good advice fa sho'. Depending on mileage, another suspect would be the air filter. Pretty easy to check first. Worth changing a spark plug too. Another less-likely culprit is exhaust blockage. Including mileage and engine behavior - Stuttering? - when symptoms appear would...

Re: Honda Shadow 50cc -> big bore kit
Greetings: The red - on - Chrome scooter in the pics above appears to be a Chinese machine sold as the "Venice 150" among probably many other names. That is no Honda as far as I can tell. The only badging I could see in your pictures is stamped on the belt cover, which also looks like no H...

Re: New to sprees…1996 Honda elite 50 advice
Greetings: 900 miles in 27 years?! SCORE!! Ah, but cosmetics make or break the deal. Post up some pics for advice on repairs. NOS plastic parts are hard to find. Aftermarket knockoffs are brittle junk, but with care can be installed and made to look OK. I recommend you check the date stamps on the t...

Greetings:
So scarce are these, but if one of either model ever comes up within striking distance, I'm DOWN! But does anyone else find it curious that the MB5 went back to drum brakes? *?

Re: Variator travel
Greetings: Your Sharpie marks appear to show you're getting almost all you can as it is. I know, I know you're still a couple of mm from the ragged edge. Try this: Remove the variator and belt. Put the belt in the variator on the workbench and close the sheaves all the way. Now see where the belt si...

Re: Rear Axle Torque Value for 1985 Honda Spree
Greetings:
Specs are in the FSM available on this board in that section. SA50 is around 60 Ft.-Lbs, likely the same on the Spree. A dab of Blue Loctite and 50 should be fine.

Re: 2009 honda no start metropalition gas to floatbowl but no fuel to cylinder
Greetings:
If there's fuel in the float bowl, a petcock problem seems much less likely. Check engine compression. Check for spark while you're at it. These engines do need the valves adjusted once in a while and it's such a PITA that a lot of owners just watch the engine slowly lose power and die.

Re: AF16- Recommendations for aftermarket brake pads?
Greetings: I had swapped for Malossi pads front and rear on Flash 7. I found them really grabby and a bit noisy. I eventually put the Honda stock pads back on the front, but I kept the Malossis astern. They do seem to brake harder with less lever effort, but the downside is a lockup in a panic stop ...

If it runs, it's getting enough oil.

Re: Spree gas tank thread size for fuel petcock 1985
Greetings: This change in thread diameter was not limited to the Spree, either. When I bought my 1987 Aero from a friend, he had ordered a new petcock, but dag-nabbit, it wouldn't fit. It was for the 1985 Aero, which had the same 14mm nipple as Mouse describes for the Spree. I'm guessing the '87 Eli...
