I got a1987 elite 250 six months ago.with a smashed front fork and wheel. Found the replacement parts ($$$!!!) and had a mechanic install them. This vid has been INVALUABLE for me to get under all that body work while learning to do some of the work myself. Big thanks man! Sad that you couldnt keep the bike but i know what its like to get bit by the VW bus bug. Operated a 1974 bus for 20 years ha ha. Built my own engine and loved building them for friends too. I live and ride my Elite in LA on the freeways all the time. Its a crazy scooter doing 72 mph screaming down the 5/110/405/60/91/605/710/210/57......101/134/22 ha ha...Los Angeles folks know what im talking about lol
omg seriously, I bought a 86 Spacy 2 years ago for $100 in 3 large boxes completely pulled apart, has been a long road putting it back together, had to make a muffler for it from a resonance chamber from a ford exhaust system. My last bit is the covers, this vid will help , thanks
This helped me so much! I took my elite apart about a month ago to have a friend paint the panels for me. I started assembling it again today and even though I bagged and tagged all the hardware, I had completely forgotten so much of where things went and how things went together. Thank you!
Hey Mitch! You’re videos are so helpful and appreciated man. I’ve been rebuilding my 1985 Honda elite 250 and wouldn’t of been able to do it without your Vid’s. Thanks brotha!
So I'm going to test drive a 1986 honda elite 250 tomorrow. I've been watching your videos and just subscribed. Hopefully I get it and keep it running for a long time. Thanks for playing a part in my decision.
Hello I'm asking for help vibrations occur at low engine speeds. just before it reaches 0 km. there is no vibration when accelerating. Everything has been changed + the clutch

mahalo mitch! i didn't even know they made a honda 250,( i'm not up on bike stuff!)...glad to see you are still working on the scooter's! ty for the video!
well, what's up is my yamaha 125 vino is still running & i got a honda 125cc since we last spoke, can't wait for the new videos! ty for answering! @@MitchsScooterStuff
excellent video !!! i just bought one of these and was wondering how all the tupperware comes off. p.s. 5/16" = 8mm . p.p.s. get a j.i.s. screwdriver and those "phillips" screws will come out (and go back in) a lot easier.
Hey Mitch hows in going, love your videos man, I have a question I would like to know how to get to the headlight bulb on my 250 , in your video the cover wasn't on and I blinked and it was there if you can help that would be great and thanks.
Hello Mitch, you use an phillips screwdriver. Better for japanese screws is the JIS, japanese industie standard, screwdrivers. I tried it and it is much moore better working.
I have an 85 Honda elite 250 with only 3000 miles. It runs, but very poorly. Do you have a video of how to remove and clean the carburetor on this model? Would be very helpful. Thanks!!
Hey Mitch, just picked up an elite 250 almost exactly like this. It's missing the black strip on the front cover. Any idea where I could get one? Thanks!
question: just got a honda 250c elite scooter and want to know what light should be on when you turn the key to on position? Right now i have the headlight and the turn signals are lit up. Are the turn signals supposed to be lit up? the blinkers work but the amber lights are on like running lights is that normal? ty
Olá Mitch, tudo bem? Gosto muito dos seus vídeos, faz tudo com muito dedicação, aprendo muito contigo. Eu possuo um PCX 150 no Brasil. Única coisa que me incomoda é que você não limpa, descarboniza e repinta as peças, mas mesmo assim adoro os tutoriais! Grande abraço amigo! 🇧🇷
Mitch I'm sort of your long lost brother I have a '08 Burgman with 50k miles on it and just picked up an '86 Elite CH80 to restore! And...I have several 2 stroke Zuma's...I'm hoarding scooters it seems
Hello Mitch I was wondering if you had any extra parts you would sell? I have a 1986 Honda Elite and I need a few parts and I can not find them anywhere. 😀
@@MitchsScooterStuff it's all good just wanted to know because I love my Honda she is still running strong she just needs cosmetic stuff but thank you for getting back to me..
Hey man! hi! I saw a Honda Elite 80cc 4 stroke on your cover page but couldn´t find a video of that scooter on your channel! Hope you post some footage of that beauty soon :) Thank you buddy!
I thought you got rid of this one. I have an 85 that I'm trying to keep on the road. Question...any thoughts on the Burgman 200? I found a nice one for a good price but I don't know much about them. Have you had any experience with them?
When I take bolts and nuts off... I put them in a groups .... a pile of them for rear end panels, motor areas, stuff like that... but when I film myself disassembly something, I show the bolt and nut front of the camera to remember :) I sold the Elite to my good friend, I wish I could keep. But I took two elite 50s to Hawaii... did you see my moving to hawaii video? :)

Your style is very effective.

Hey yes I am not sure if you saw my video I posted 9 months ago 😄🤙🏼
I think I’m missing the drain hose on mine, is that necessary? Or a convenience thing?
Don’t worry about it 👍🏼
Fantastic Mechanic...wish I had his Skils...here in the UK the Helix is a Spacy and the Helix a 250 CN🇨🇭🛵.. carry on with your good work👍
sorry. I got that wrong... Elite is a Spacy and the Helix a CN250🇨🇭🛵
Excellent breakdown tutorial. Thank you 🙏
😄👍🏼👍🏼

Hello Mitch I was wondering if you had any extra parts you would sell? I have a 1986 Honda Elite and I need a few parts and I can not find them anywhere. 😀
Hey, I wish I do... Yeah it's hard to find parts... keep searching :)
@@MitchsScooterStuff it's all good just wanted to know because I love my Honda she is still running strong she just needs cosmetic stuff but thank you for getting back to me..
Where can you find body pieces and exhaust for the 1986 ch250 elite
I would try eBay and Facebook groups
Hey man! hi! I saw a Honda Elite 80cc 4 stroke on your cover page but couldn´t find a video of that scooter on your channel! Hope you post some footage of that beauty soon :) Thank you buddy!
Hey yes I have some elite 80 videos in a playlist 😄🙌🏼
Hi bro!!!! I have a question? Can you send me the size or dimensions of the crankshaft for honda elite ch125 or ch150 please? Thanks
Hey I don’t have my ch150 here right now 😞 it’s in Texas, I won’t see it till next few months
I thought you got rid of this one. I have an 85 that I'm trying to keep on the road. Question...any thoughts on the Burgman 200? I found a nice one for a good price but I don't know much about them. Have you had any experience with them?
Yes I sold it to my good friend to fund for 1967 VW bus project 😮
Burgman 200 is nice, Suzuki is good! I never rode one before but I want to haha
Why do I watch these? I don't even own a scooter! :- )
Because Mitch's videos are very well made, a joy to watch..... :-)
Me either, but the way Mitch teaches is easy to watch and learn. Hey! ya never know you maybe riding one day
Ha ha - Me too. Good video though.
Mitch, I really need your help
Checkinout the Mitch merch lol
i have one like yours...same color...nice video
Very cool! 😎🙌🏼
How did you remember where all the nuts and bolts go?
Did the Elite have to be stripped down to ship to Hawaii?
When I take bolts and nuts off... I put them in a groups .... a pile of them for rear end panels, motor areas, stuff like that... but when I film myself disassembly something, I show the bolt and nut front of the camera to remember :) I sold the Elite to my good friend, I wish I could keep. But I took two elite 50s to Hawaii... did you see my moving to hawaii video? :)
I did watch that video Mitch. That's a great way to remember how bolts and nuts go back, film yourself doing the disassembly.
A good mechanic can recognize all nuts places
You can make the grayed plastic shine with a heat gun.
Oh yeah been doing that, I can’t believe I didn’t do that on this scooter in video 🤦🏼♂️😆
Good scooter Honda! Good luck.
😎🤙🏼🤙🏼
please make us a video how to disassemble the fairing on the left side and on the right and ka saddle of the Piaggio MP3 400 cc please
I need to find a MP3 owner to loan me to work on it, I don’t have it now 😢
I have just bought a Honda C90 in excellent condition, I would like to see you doing some work on one!
Very cool!! Yeah I would love to work on one
