HS1 high performance light bulb

I have a 2001 SA50p. My bulb burned out and I have been looking at the local automotive parts suppliers and they don't have anything with wattage as low as 35 watts. So the question is can the elite s wire harness deal with 55 or 65 watts. Is there a fuse I can simply replace and run the higher watt...

Re: Battery recommendation for spree used daily and kept out

I went looking for a ES4L-BS yesterday. I went to autozone and they had one for $65. So I walked out muttering about $65 being outrageous and went to Advance Auto. theirs was $25 with a $10 core charge but of course I had a junk battery to give them. So I ended up spending less than half of what aut...

Re: 86 Spree Throttle Issues

cooler air is more dense than warm air. So if your bike runs better in cold air that means it is on the rich side in the warmer air and the cool air brings it closer to a proper mix. My guess is that you are having a bystarter issue...

Re: stroker

IRC my ruima 43.4mm mini stroker (no case mod needed) has the worm gear for an oil pump. I also had a stock sized crank that did not.

Re: Oreilly loaner tools to rebuild engine case

oh and if your bearings get stuck on the crank I take it to my local motor cycle shop. he's a friend of mine but I can't see anyone at a small shot charging more than $30 buck to pull those bearings off.

Re: Oreilly loaner tools to rebuild engine case

I have used the harmonic balancer puller from autozone. it is a pain though. For reinstallation freeze the bearings and crank and heat the crank case halves. Drop bearings in. Then heat the inner part of one of the bearings and drop the frozen crank into it. heat the other bearing's inner part and p...

Re: 90 cc big bore kit

well you won't get 90 cc's with that. your af16e motor has a stock stoke length of 42.3mm. So that 50mm BBK will get you 83.05cc's. As for price. You put that big bore kit on and you will be wanting new exhaust(cheapest I know that is any good would be the v8(around $120)) at least a 24mm carb($70is...
