How to Speed Up a Honda Elite
S,
SR
Honda
Elite
S, SR SLOW? Top speed 25 MPH?
Here
is what you need to do:
Remove
the muffler,
and drill out the Washer that is welded into the head pipe. The washer
is very thick, about 3/4". You may need to take the muffler to a
welding
shop or machine shop to find someone with a large enough drill bit and
a drill press. That will restore the engine power to what was
intended
at the factory.
Next, yo need to remove
the kick start cover, and the front clutch. Take the nut off the
crankshaft
(front clutch) remove the outer pulley half, pull the belt off.
The
back half of the clutch will now pull right off the crankshaft.
Look at the back
of the clutch. The metal plate held on with three screws is the travel
limiter. That plate keeps the clutch from shifting up all the
way,
keeping the speed down.

Remove the three screws and discard the plate and screws. |

Reinstall the clutch |

Make sure you have the clutch outer
pulley installed correctly on the splines on the end of the crankshaft,
before you tighten the nut. You do not want to get it on crooked, it is
easy to destroy the crankshaft. Tighten the nut securely. Replace
the kickstart cover and you should now have a top speed of about
35 mph. Be careful! |
| The faster models of the Elite
have a split throttle cable so the oil pump output increases when you
open
the throttle. If you are going to be at sustained high speeds you
should
either replace the single cable with a split one to control oil flow,
or
add a small amount of extra oil directly to the fuel in the tank. I
have
not had any problems without doing either of these when the machine is
used in town, but I have had a few people worried about lack of oil at
speed, so here you are warned. Some have suggested tying
the
pump open, but then you get more oil than needed at idle and slow
speeds.
Better to add 1-2 ounce per gallon in the tank. |
