Sleeper is my middle name I'm glad it turned out that way actually, stock looking unless you roll by me hah

Thanks for the comments guys

Castrol 2t is my oil.. basic and cheap. Will be looking for better local alternatives shortly

Yeah I know, something I thought about but hope for the best.. [/quote]

Thanks man, its possibly the most detailed Elite buildup thread I've seen, other info tends to be scattered elsewhere but I tried to show steps in detail. Maybe second to Akpedrver's on hawaiiforums

Have fun with your Elite, they are a great tunable scooter platform.

Very sweet setup and a super nice clean Elite!

I have a quick question as i'm in the beging stages of fixing my old 88 Honda SA50 Elite LX.

I just need to know before i waste my time and money buying up parts either to restore or mod my bike if its possable to do the same to mine? I dont need super high end and 70+ MPH speeds.. I'd just like to beable to ride on the roads where i live now as the speed limits are 45-50 and i'm a large guy at 6'4" at 290-300lbs. Basicly the same weight i was back when i originally road the bike 18+ years ago when i was 16.

The motor has been gutted and the only thing i bought so far is new piston rings as thats what we broke 17 years ago when my father and i last worked on it.

I'm thinkin i need my own thread but thought i'd just ask you real quick as you seem pretty up to date on all this.

Parts for the pre-dio elites are getting rarer and rarer, check out seller daywot on ebay. He has 70cc kits for your bike, that and variator kits. Those two things should net you the goals you're looking for without upgrading to a dio style bike/motor. Stock you're bike should do about 40mph if running good.

Thanks for the replay but that seller already told me he does not carry and never will carry those parts anymore.

sucks to hear, try vtcycles then or maybe keep tabs on hawaii forum seller section.. but I see you're looking at a dio engine, thats gonna be your best bet now

Hawaii forums? I hear about it but find no linkage.. Hook me up! lol

i give you this link because i trust you will stay with this site also.
That site is good for getting parts, but its more of a chit-chat place then an information place like this.

Thanks man! No worries, this place is gona be home for me.. besides, theres a ton of michigan guys here so hehe.

New Michelin S1 3.50 tire installed up front, along with new front EBC brake pads. She lookin purty

Also latest jetting setting: 150main, 52pilot. So far the best combo. Used 152main for a while but a lil too smokey, and still holds 350F WOT with 150main. Just starts creeping past 350F after a WOT run as you let off throttle, will try richening needle (eventually)

No kidding. I had to stop reading after five minutes, the grammar & spelling is way more atrocious than you guys. It hurt my brain.
