Re: Gyro - general thread
So I just bought a Gyro Canopy engine (2 stroke) from Ebay UK. NOW WHAT AM I GOING TO DO Haha. I'm pretty pumped because I think it won't be that difficult to mount up to a regular scooter frame with some minor welding. I had a Gyro X a few years back that I stupidly sold so I'm hoping to recreate t...

Re: Honda Gyro X score. Need a piston!
Updaayyyyte Ok, got the Gyro X on the road. I ended up using a Honda Hobbit 40mm piston and matched it to the cylinder skirt. Worked great. Plastics are off for now- they are not in very good shape, so I may leave it skelly... I dunno. Fun fun fun bike. Way more stable than the US Gyros (back end ac...

Re: Honda Gyro X score. Need a piston!
Thanks, everyone for the help! I hope to have this guy up and running this weekend.
Six- yeah, our frames look similarly sized. I was just shocked how much bigger the Gyro X was than the TG50 US version.

Re: Honda Gyro X score. Need a piston!
AJ- yeah, we'll have to have a Gyro fest snow blast ride or something sometime. I'm going to ride the Gyro dirty for a while as I look into the bonded stuff. Not too familiar with that process. Six- nice Gyro stash there! Thanks for the compliments. I've had a few 85/86's- the Gyro X frame is HUGE i...

Re: Honda Gyro X score. Need a piston!
Ok, looks like Gyro X top end is probably the same as the Aero 50. Off to part scour.

Re: Honda Gyro X score. Need a piston!
I think we probably have some friends in common, AJ. Nash? His dudes in Ames? I got the X for less than 750, but not a whole bunch. He did the typical thing of saying he had someone lined up for later in the week to buy it, so I said screw it and made the drive down from Ames. I couldn't resist. Yea...

Re: Honda Gyro X score. Need a piston!
I paid too much, but oh well. Don't see them around often.
Looks like the bore/stroke is almost dead-on for a Honda Hobbit. I have a spare top end of one of those here that I will try out.

Honda Gyro X score. Need a piston!
Hey all. Been a lurker here for a while; first post. I scored a Honda Gyro X last night. Pretty rare here in the States. CVT, differential rear! It's a bike I've always wanted, so I don't feel too badly for paying more than I would have liked. Does anyone have a manual/schematic for this thinger? Th...
