Greetings:

Welcome, fellow Scooterphile.

A lot depends on how/if your "new" Spree is running now.

Mods to the stock engine can take it from 30-ish to 40-ish, but only at some cost to take-off performance, reliability, longevity and Wallet.
Sometimes Stock is pretty good.

A new spark plug, belt, tires and air cleaner element never hurt. Consider ne tires if yours are from 1983.

Read everything Spree in Tech Sections, and consider what you want/need your Spree to do.

thank you for your tip, my spree is in ok running shape. the carb needs work, it has some electricall gremlins, and has some cosmetic damage. id like to get a big bore kit and exhaust for it, but i dont know where to find parts.

There is no performance exhaust at this time, unless you build one yourself. Taz (Tazland001 here on the forum) says he is working on one but so far he has the Big Bore Kits (BBK) for the Spree plus an adapted bigger intake system.

i saw a big bore kit o ebay that takes it to 44mm. i want my spree to have good torque, and enough speed to keep up with traffic

Same guy, only if you contact him thru the forum by PM he will give you a better deal. There is also a 48 mm BBK, but until the exhaust is available you can not get the most out of it. Oh and whichever BBK you get also get the gear upgrade because the BBK will only minimally increase your top speed without the gears.

At this rate half the forum is going to be from the Manistee area!

Welcome to the forum. I'm sure I'll be seeing you around, as this is a pretty small town.

Wait, you're not the dude I chased down that lives by hospital hill, are you?
