Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Sorry- '83/84 Aero 50 to be precise.

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 ...

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.

hey, thanks, mouse! where did you find that info? i've been searching for gyro x tech specs but no luck.

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 ...
