My guess is also variated AF05e. looks like a 2 bolt intake so im saying it's an 85 AF05e from another country that actually got a kicker, or a non USM kicker cover installed. it looks like it has the angled exhaust flange.

:popcorn: Cover looks like ones on more modern motors. Interesting to hear if a late model cover fits on a 2-bolt intake Af05 (spree/Sb50) since it looks quite a bit deeper than the stocker. It could open up options for larger pulleys, clutches and maybe vari’s if the crank and primary shaft will allow.

Deemed too expensive for Honda to bother to certify. Probably better-than-Spree/Elite E for acceleration, but still limited to maybe 3HP.

The big limiting factor on these is the cvt size. Not a very big variator, so not much of a ratio change. Quicker Acceleration I'm sure, but not crazy better. rare as hens teeth over here tho.
