Re: af16 curiosity

Try Craigslist for different cities. I've found some deals in Vancouver in the past where there's always lots of AF18E Dios for sale.

The stock exhaust will strangle all your hard work. I'd add an aftermarket exhaust. Watch the exhaust pipe diameter since there's several choices.

Re: 66cc BBK Upgrade? Thoughts?

several people suggested I replace the top end Low compression means it's time for a fresh jug. A 66cc BBK is a good place to start because you don't need to replace anything else except change the main jet to about an 80 or 85. It's not a difficult project. An aftermarket exhaust will add another ...

Re: 90cc curiosity

So Ive been playing with this 90cc kit and a 28mm OKO carb. I was wondering what is a safe rpm to rev up to? On a nice day itll hit 10k and stay around 270 degrees on my gauge. I can't say for sure since there's so many other variables (like where the sensor is attached), but if I ran mine at 10,00...

Keihin 19mm PB carb

I bought a Keihin 19mm PB carb from Taiwan, only $29 plus shipping, and fitted it onto my Dio. Except for the hole size (19mm) it fits exactly, including the electric bystarter. The bore hole was matched up with a Dremel (the manifold was 14mm and the carb is 19mm), and the performance is awesome. T...

Also Can I run with out a stock air filter? The rebuild is a 48mm bore. I was looking to just go down to the auto parts store and pick up ...

Re: I Just Cleaned the Carb now it won't run !!!

you cood prime the motor by putting a fue drop of gas down the spark plug hole (10 to 15) started it and repeat till it stay running ... swimmingfree When doing this kind of maintenance, it's MUCH easier to get it running with the air filter off. Just squirt some plain gas into the carb opening. If...

Re: 99 Elite SR. Starting to mod questions

60mph is possible, but it gets expensive! I often wonder if I should have just sold the Dio and bought a 150cc Ruckus, but it becomes a personal challenge. I use a Jiang-Wayne 90cc BBK with an 18mm Keihin carb, V8 exhaust, and Athena gears for an honest 60mph. But I've melted the piston a couple of ...

Keihin makes several models in different sizes that fit your existing controls, bystarter, etc. I use a Keihin 18mm ATV carb on my Dio, and was a direct replac...

Best CHT gauge?

From your experience, what is the best, most reliable, most useful, easiest to install CHT gauge for a Dio or Elite? (it should read in Celsius) Thanks in advance.

Re: what to port? (af05e aero / elite )

Here is the boost port on a 89cc Dio jug. I don't know if your motor has this. Don't change the port on the jug; you open the matching port on the block so they're a matched pair. You need to disassemble the block to do this since the aluminum shavings get into every little crack. I wouldn't change ...
