Hey all. I ended up finally buying a dio.
Now Ive got a spree and a dio. My question to you is how do you tell exactly what kind of dio it is??
Ive been doing some research on these and theres what 3 different types of dio?? ZX and what not. I cant see anything written so I have no clue.

What the sticker says is Dio city movement by Honda??? Any ideas of where else to look??

Awe Man!! There's a difference in dios? I just bought a project on eBay, supposed to be a 2001. I go after it next week, 600 mile round trip.

So now that I'm finally getting a grip on the AF05E and brave enough to tackle a dio, you guys tell me there are more than one dio? Geesh!

Greetings:

Dio is a model name in some markets, built forover a decade. Specs for engines over the years changed through AF16, AF18, AF24 through 35. Vertical engines and horizontal. None of the above in this country after 2001, so searching a US website will produce scant info. Sanjuro and possibly ZR50 had some imported/Canadian exotics.

Lunytune, you got a Dio project off Ebay? Or was it an Elite dio? If it's an Elite you will have the common Dio everyone talks about here in the US.

Ok then.. It was said to post a few pics.. So here ya go. Let me me know what you think.

Notice the pipe. I bought it this way. Also it was said that it has a big bore kit added into it. The guy I bought it from said that you have to add injection oil to the gas as well. 1/4 of an oz to a full tank of gas.
It takes off like a raped ape though and gets to its top speed then the rev limiter kicks in. Its fine for 0 - 60 kmh but once it hits 60 thats it it dont go any faster. I try to keep it at around 50 kmh though.

Yeah evil. I like it goes way faster then my spree lol. Im seriously thinking of either selling my spree. Or giving it to my wife. But.... I am kind of concerned. If.. I gave it to my wife would she be to heavy for it.?? Now Im not saying shes a 500 lb whale lol. What Im saying is Im a 210 lb guy and shes jus a few more lbs heavier then I am..
So with out going into much details of how heavy ppl are.. Whatcha think??

Give her the spree if she wants to ride with you, if not sell it

Yes, it's an Elite. Seller is not sure, but sez there is a sticker unders the seat that sez 2001. It looks a lot like the photos Wolf has posted. Everything there, but plastic not bolted on. He will give me a handful of nuts and bolts. Typical problems like maybe been setting up and carb needs cleaning, no key and ignition jerryrigged, no title (problem in Illinois, no problem in Missouri.) Rattle can painted. Gotta drive almost to Chicago to get it.

So after I get it, I'll be asking same questions as Wolf... Unless Canucks are diferent.

Now for you guys with plump wives, my sugar plum weighs in a little over 200 She has been riding an Elite E while I was rebuilding her SA50. Now that I've got the SA50 going with the Polini kit, she tends to favor the "E", even though it is smaller and probably smallest scoot Honda has ever built.
