Honda MR50 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (1974-1975)

The Honda MR50 Elsinore, often called the "Baby Elsinore" due to its resemblance to larger CR models, was an off-road mini cycle produced for the 1974 and 1975 model years. Primarily targeting Australian, Canadian, and US markets, it featured a robust 49 cc air-cooled, two-stroke, single-cylinder engine. Power was managed by a 3-speed manual transmission with a manual clutch, and it required premix lubrication at a 25:1 ratio, starting via a primary kick start. There were no significant generational or engine changes between the 1974 (MR50 or K0) and 1975 (MR50K1 or K1) models. The core engine and transmission remained identical. Key distinctions were cosmetic, such as color schemes (e.g., 1974 with red fenders and a red tank, 1975 with red fenders and a silver tank), and serial number prefixes. Both years included a multi-position throttle stop for speed limitation. Q: How do I know if this part fits my MR50?
