Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

never had any issue with the tire rubbing the center stand on my elite. just what bfowler was talking about... the centerstand fails to lift the back end enough to make the rear tire clear the ground.

I think I read a post about someone, maybe wheelman?, doig a small amout of grinding on the af05 case that ade the 3.50x10 work... I could be wrong thogh

you put a fatter main jet in but you can't change the pilot jet on the stock carb... with no air filter this makes the motor run precariously lean at anything under full throttle... I am pretty sure you have experienced soft seizing.

I have put a 3.50x10 and a 90/90 on the back of my '01 sa50. with a true rim it is not a problem. if the rim is out of true though there is a good chance of it rubbing.

I also have troubles with the threads on the block. I'm going to use timesert and recap them. I am planning on buying the M6 x 1.00mm set with a guide. When I do this should I do it with a drill?

On my 01 sa50 with a v8 exhaust I have always put the stem facing the exhaust... oh but I don't have plastics so I guess with plastics it might be easier on the drive side.

So what is the range of ratios seen from a stock elite s variator? Stock sr variator? Zx variator?
