its not bad to have a spree that you picked up from a buddy
when the insurance is less then $100 a year and it costs about $1.50 to fill
its not bad at all
butthole.
Yeah, here in Michigan you don't have to get insurance on something less then 50cc. But even if you did, even i could handle the small rates.
And Gas mileage is amazing on these little things. The tanks are no bigger then a coffee cup but you can go amazing distances.
And dont mind that guy. he just gets on here and talks trash. He has yet to prove he owns anything, were he lives ( he claims hawaii near Vtcycles) , or anything. he just gets on here and * every one else off.
Also, Sweet spree. that thing is nice!

Muffler is probably clogged up. Make a big campfire and throw the muffler on the fire and leave it. The next day when the muffler has cooled use a garden hose to rinse out all of the crap inside the muffler.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

*, some people even claim of it helping there top speed out a few mph. How much did you loose????
like 2 mph
but i drilled a hole as big as the exhaust hole.
should i just drill another one anyway?
but it did help with the acceleration which is awesome!
its your call, if your worried about loosing a few more mph you might want to leave it. I personally never drilled a spree pipe, so im not too sure on what is the best amount of baffles.
If you want to drill another and see what happens...

Not really they are both 2 strokes only big diff is the ignition and fuel. Also i think you ed up with a blown engine if you dumped nitro glow fuel in a spree.[/quote]
um nope i use the fuel left over from the cars in the oil injector (the fuel is 18% synthetic / 20% nitro and the rest methanol) about a 3shot glass/tank

Im no chemist but,
NO2 is sometimes incorrectly used to refer to nitrous oxide, which has a chemical formula of N2O
Used in motor racing as an oxidizer to increase the power output of engines. Often it is incorrectly referred to as "NOS," referencing a manufacturer of automotive nitrous oxide equipment, Nitrous Oxide Systems.
Today I got the spree out and put it on the road with me on it for the first time, the intake mod did not add to the top speed by much but even though I did not polish my intake after grinding it out to have a perfect transition the acceleration difference was incredible, it takes less room to get to speed and the acceleration is much smoother. I would recomend this mod to everybody with a spree.

Hi, I'd like to say something after reading all this. A boost bottle has nothing to do with nitrous or any fuel supplement. A boost bottle is a small chamber or tube on the intake that holds mixture to keep the carburetor from double-carbureting the mixture before a two stroke comes on the pipe. On high performance two stroke quads and motorcycles there is sometimes a dip in power right before the engine "comes on the pipe." These things really have no place on the Spree because they don't have expansion chambers (unless you buy or make one), and you'd have to drill on the little metal manifold to make one. Hope this helps.
