My 1984 Honda Elite 125 is highlighted in a lot of my videos! I also include my other scooters. The others I currently own are a 1999 Honda Helix, 1987 Honda Elite 50S, 1987 Elite 50, 2010 Honda Elite 110, 2007 Yamaha Morphous and last but not least a 1989 Honda Elite E

I have a 2004 helix and the variator seems to be stuck. Like something is bolted behind. Any ideas to help get this out?
How many miles honda recommend before oil change
awesome video thank you so much just bought an 06
Bought a non-running 2001 Helix about a month and a half ago. I’ve been slowly going through it and your videos have been, not only incredibly helpful, but also quite inspirational. Your Helix turned out phenomenal! Thanks for the slow meticulous delve into a really cool bike.
…Nope. I take it all back. You’re a stone-cold jerk for skipping over cleaning the grease out of the variator! …That was the single nastiest job I’ve done on this bike so far!! I guess it’s my own fault for not taking the time to find that purple Simply Green you’ve mentioned many times. …Lesson learned. I’m picking some up tomorrow morning! Thanks again!
Yeah, I can't post dirty videos on KZread! LOL!!! It's a piece of cake with Simply Green-Purple! I mentioned it again just for you! LOL!!
Way cooler than the ones they are producing now . Your Yamaha and Honda are beautiful. I'm blowed away at how awesome they are. Great job . I'd love to have them .
Extremely awesome. A 10 on the cool scooter scale. I would love to have one. Thanks for the video. I'm thinking about getting a 2001 honda reflex. Do you know if they are good scooters? Have a good one
I have never seen a Reflex to be honest. I can't imagine they are not a great scooter since it's a Honda!
Have you ever tired to tune different pipes on the afo5 with bbk?
@CptH0wdy I used a Malossi Wild Lion with a Polini kit in my Aero 50 with the Malossi gears. It went 55mph. I haven't really rode the Elite 50 I have in the video in years. I may try something in the future. I have too many projects! So, to answer your question... I have on an AF05, just not the one in my video.
@@rubytheelite ohh gotcha.dont use the mlm pipe. It’s all top end and a bitch to tune. Im gunna have to find another one
Awesome job. Great videos. Thanks for all your time. I enjoyed it. Very informative
Thanks for the info, I just bought a couple of used ruckus that needs help not as bad as yours. Thanks for the information on the reset on the ECM didn’t know about that. I’ll try and see if it stops my issue of bogging.
You're welcome Larry! I hope my video's help you! Please subscribe if you haven't already!
What wire did you use? I tried with a copper wire and it just blew a fuse.
@LuhDeddy Just some 14 or 16-gauge automotive wire is what I used. Bought from Autozone.
That is cool to know! Does that PCX swap also apply to the Honda Helix rear shocks too?
No idea. I didn't have a reason to try them on my Helix since the shocks are fine on it.
Hello, the clutch shaft has axial play, not up and down, but the clutch can be moved towards itself, what could be damaged?
Enjoyed watching this episode giving me confidence to open it up and check it out/clean it replace parts accordingly
Great video! I'm sure that I'm not the only one who would be interested in a follow up video showing how that Chinese clutch is holding up. Also where is that place in Michigan that resurfaces the weight arms? Was it JW Parts Plus? The contact form on their website is broken and their FaceBook page hasn't been updated since '19, and had several complaints about slow turnaround. They do have an eBay site.
As I mentioned in my comeback video, the Elite 250 basically sat for a while when I stopped making videos. The mileage on it isn't much to give a good read on the clutch. As far as JW parts plus? They did a great job on my Elite 125 clutch, but that was years ago. Their customer practices back then were excellent! I have no idea how they are now.
Holy Shit. So useful. No idea i had to reset ecm. I just did my valve shims
Helix gang
Thanks again. love the fact you are in but not in the video.
Thank you so much. We have two custom helix and i loved doing them. My grandson laid mine down and watching your videos is just what i need. having trouble finding screws.
Did you have to make any special mods to the oil injection pump to compensate for the larger cylinder displacement?
@AngeloGiannotti Great question! I did forget to address that. I add two capfulls of oil at every gas fill up and have been fine.
👍

Xanadu inclosure what exactly is it called? I can’t find anything on it and would like to purchase one. Please help. Thanks Matty.
I pinned it in the comments.
I like the idea and effort but for me old school is doing it for me lately
thank you. I use Jay leno's garage Tire and trim care
Maybe I missed it in the video but where did you get the new helix decals for the left and right of the trunk? Everywhere I look they say discontinued and I'm not able to purchase any.
@MarkP I'm seeing that now as well. I tried Revzilla.com where I bought them and they are now out of stock.
I have two 1986 honda elite 250's, they are fun. My second one came with a fairing, tour pack, and radio
Kept the wallet and take the phone
Old Honda scooters will always hold a place on my heart! Loved them ever since I saw Keno rocking one in TMNT2 secret of the ooze as a kid!
Thx for sharing. Just one question ... From where you got your rubber mat? Thx in advance. Greetings Christoph ... Koblenz, Germany 🎩👍👋
@@christophmeirich5928 What rubber mat are you speaking of?
@@rubytheelite Where you put on your shoes during driving. Pardon my english is not so well.
The carpet mat on the Elite 250. Gotcha! I found that on Ebay a few years ago. Very hard to find Hondaline accessory.
@@rubytheelite yepp 😢
@christophmeirich5928 I'll sell you mine for $300 USD plus shipping if you're interested.
Gonna grease that bad boy up on my Helix tomorrow. Thanks for the new video!
Good luck!
Still prefer yellow myself, kinda sick of everything using blue LEDs
Should wear a glove
To the human eye, blue has by far the worst contrast. Never use blue on anything that needs attention. Basic HMI-design rule.
used to have an RGB digital dash back when i was daily-riding, blue would affect my night vision too much, red was much nicer to look at, especially in low light
Agreed, blue disagrees with my eyes too. I found green works okay but Red at night is the least straining to me.
I liked it better before.
I like the blue. But you are right, you will have to give it time to see how it does for you. Most airplane cockpits use red and orange because it causes less glare at night. But in a car or motorcycle dash there is much less going on, so it may be fine. Always like to see someone make their vehicle their own.
Enjoyed the entire series. I'm preparing to get my '87 Honda Elite 250 back on the road so I've been watching a lot of videos. I got stuck on your Helix refurb and enjoyed very much!
Great video
I just bought a 1996 Honda Helix at the end of May. Thank you for creating such informative and specific content. Your time and dedication to sharing this information and visualization of the work being done is super helpful.
Thank you!
I did a very similar full restoration to my Helix a few years ago during the corona BS. I think I even used the same Rise plastics kit and Halo bulb. Came out good. I do get yelled at by cops occasionally for using blue lights, but I've yet to ever get a ticket. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z5d30NizgNfgXZs.html
wow, that scoot looks brand new!
Great !!!..and Test drive ??..
Thanks for sharing all these videos of your Honda helix. You gave me the courage to attempt a “rebuild” myself. Been a very fun project and I’m excited to get my 1992 Honda helix back on the road. I like your dedication to buying OEM parts and taking your time making sure it’s right. Also super clean purple is amazing ha
Canada ehhhh
Ha! Of course it cuts off. Hopefully this method doesn't involve losing my 10mm socket!
This is a short. Check out the video it came from.
Thx for sharing. I got a Elite CH250 from 1985 😊 I love this scooter. Greetings from germany ... Christoph 😉🫠🙃🙂
I also have a CH250. Please subscribe and enjoy my other bikes as well. 😊
The bike looks fantastic! I like the white and black (instead of grey) with the little bit of chrome. So let us all know how you like riding her, especially on a long ride. Looking forward to hear your thoughts and comments comparing the Helix to the Morphous.
Dang mice. Love the video 😊
Best video ever! Thank you. I have a 88' which I haven't run for 25 years. After using your advice, it runs😂 great. Thanks again.
Ruby, The face seal cover on the drive face, could it be there also to maintain a balanced condition and a reinforcement for the drive face and to help keep dust out out of the roller area? HH
No, it's not used at all on current Honda scooters. It's main reason for being there was to keep the grease from exiting. Grease is no longer used. It was a bad idea to begin with. Your welcome of course to reinstall it, but I no longer have it on any of my bikes. It has no purpose except to restrict and keep grease inside. That's it. I've been removing them for more than 25 years. No issues at all.
