what is a dio?

I have an 86 Spree which I recently purchased with 1900 miles on it. I spent a lot of time cleaning the carb, new stock air filter, new battery, replaced old oil in oil tank, replaced old fuel. Got it running and been riding for several weeks but have a couple items I need to resolve.
