Spree Low End

tmsos · Post by **tmsos** » Tue May 02, 2006 4:17 pm

I have an 85 spree that runs great. I have a #68 jet with ported intake and reed lips, running a cone air filter.

I still have the stock exhaust on though. I just found this forum and was wondering what type of exhuast mods people do. I have read about drilling the exhuast and one of the mods having a sawed off exhuast. - Does anybody have any pics of their drilled or sawed exhuast.

Really I don't care about top speed on my spree, I am looking for low end. A little quicker startup, with maybe a little more power on hills.

Would an exhaust mod help? I also read something about stiffer clutch springs. Does anybody know of any good places to buy? - Any other low end mods people have tried?

i'm curious about your cone filter? how well does it run, i would think that a 68 jet would be low for a cone filter, and wouldnt run all that well

sawing off or drilling exhaust will actually make you lose low end, not gain it.

Thanks, thats what I wanted to know. - Any other mods you know of that help low end. I have tried various tweaks and seem to be at a hold as far as how the low end feels. Would the stiffer clutch springs help out with low end acceleration and give it a little more "umpth" with the hills?

- The spree runs great with the cone filter and 68, but not with 65.

what's your top speed with the cone filter, and what size and make is the filter?

yeah get stiffer clutch springs, also check out the pulley mod in the tech docs, but do it in reverse, by adding spacers not shaving off.

Sounds good, I will try the spacer trick and see what it does.

Here is the filter I use http://www.knfilters.com/search/product ... od=RC-2540

I had my top speed at 33 when I was running my stock filter, but I also had an air leak on the reed. I fixed the air leak the same time I switched to the KN, and my top speed is 30 after it is going a ways. But low end improved a lot. I just tuned it to where I like the feel. I just do a lot of stop and go short trips, as well as playing around in fields etc. So I am trying to get the best low end.
