just saw it on ebay, what do you guys think?
honda dio 65cc cyl kit
wish i could see base view to compare ports but just eyeballing looks like it should fit up to 94+ elite cases, cheap kit if so!
*EDIT*
Just found similar kit in Australia
HERE
And looking at base gasket looks like boost port is much larger, dang US elites and their restricted boost port

I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Where can I read what the boost port is and how it works?

92 Yamaha Jog -> Stock.
05 Kymco Super 9-> My cruiser

hah but who wants to do that kenny
you need to split cases to cut the boost port properly that way, and doing so isn't appealing on a budget build like with these 65cc cylinders

pg56, see the third central port, that is your boost port our elites have that and thats whats in question here

yeah but it's only 15cc more. Why not get a bigger bore kit?

different goals for different strokes
i have my fast bikes, this would be for a budget build that doesn't need to go much faster
BUT just to clarify this kit wont fit any US honda scoot without modification. boost port is different and piston takes 12mm pin!

i think the boost ports on a dio would sit outside of the sealing surface on a spree, i dont think it would seal at all!
i opened up my boost port by roughing it out with the dremel and a die grinder with rotary burr, then cleaned it up it a small file and curved piece of wood with sandpaper 2sided taped to it, to get the radius right. with both halves together it makes it easy to match them perfectly!

Lol, I still don't see any info about "boost port" on page 56 of that book. Am I retarded?

Tim: he is kidding there is no bolt on spree kit. Im working on that, if I ever have $100 floating around.
