Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

You have to play around with the rollers you put in there. Typically you get more top end with heavier rollers and more acceleration with lighter ones. I run 5.5 g in mine and I'm still messing with it. Just something you have to get dialed in. I would also grab a set of gears from SSS, the 9:1 or even 8.44 gears are a great combo with the vari. Most people do that when they are just getting their feet wet into performance mods. You should see high 40s, low 50s on gears and a variator with the right tune.

Will an aftermarket air intake increase performance? Also are aftermarket CDIs good for a stock build?

Air intake will need to be rejetted and you don't need a aftermarket Cdi but if you choose to get one... Malossi is the one I have

Decided to get a GPS app to see what my top end actually is since I can't tell on the speedometer. Is this pretty good for the stuff I've done to my elite?

Made a video showing my top speed. I know it's not as fast as other builds, but it's a lot faster than stock!

Made another quick video showing what the PG Short exhaust is like on an elite for people interested.

Got the 15x42 (9:8:1) gears installed today. Noticed a decrease in acceleration which I expected. Top end was pretty good. Still have to check the gps, but the needle seemed to go farther than usual!

Dude, sounds like you need to up jet.

I think I do, still running 78 main. What would you recommend going up to?

Big thanks to bfowler for the tail light and turn signal lenses!
