Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

hey all, i have a 1982 fa50. and i was wondering what can i do to make it faster(25-27)top speed right now. and what can i do to change the 6 volt system to a 12 volt system. thanks

Although I am not familiar with that bike(it might have an aftermarket but I doubt it). If you are asking questions this general, I cant really say you are qualified for the kind of work that probably needs to be done(porting is a fine art). Unless there happens to be a 12 volt stator that fits it you are SOL for a 12 volt conversion. Whats wrong with the 6 volt system?

Hi,
There are various reasons to go 12v. I have an old 6v scooter where I was considering a DC/DC converter just to run a 12v headlight. 6v headlights were about $50. Could be you want to run a GPS etc (dc/dc up converter would cover that), but like Kenny says, to convert to 12v charging system is difficult unless the stator coil is changed. Perhaps there's some Suzuki part from another bike your could use?

Check out www.mopedarmy.com too, they have more users with 'nopeds' like the Suzuki FA50. Might cover your performance improvements too.

you know i really cant complain about the "noped" i got it free along with a 1986 spree nq50 so hey as long as they run im riding, didnt somebody on here say"its not what you ride but that you ride" thats good words
