Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

88 sa50 with 8000 miles
The engine runs well, and it starts on the first kick.(when the kickstart wants to engage) When it started bogging down, I replaced the rollers in the variator(flat spots) and also the drive belt.

1: It still won't go over 15. I'm wondering if I need to either replace the spring on the driven face, or just clean the clutch.

2: The bulb is in tact, but the brake light won't work. The electric start also doesn't work. Should I look at the relay?

Check the fuse.

thanks man. is it more common for the spring to go, or the clutch pads getting oily?

Oily clutch pads? *!?! That would slip like nothing else.

Hey, I'm still new to working on scooters. I haven't done anything to the clutch yet, only the belt and rollers. I'm just not sure what to look at more closely. It sounds like the pads are the first place to go to.

Try checking the final drive pulley, take the center spring & clutch off, twist the pulley out if it binds the s-groove that the 2 pins ride on is shot, you can take off the outer sleeve and grease it which most people never do, a new one from honda goes for about $130 and you can't use the cheaper 3 pin dio cuz the case is to small.
