English speakers would more likely say "only a minute or two to spare".

I'd personally be more apt to say, "Do you have a second?," but I still think that this sentence is appropriate.

"Do you have a moment to talk with me Tom?" "That's fine, but I've only got a minute or two to spend so you'll need to keep whatever you have to say very brief."
