kicker Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Hopefully some of the other Honda parts like spannies are compatible. Just looking it up now and stock the AF07 has 7.2ps @ 7000 versus the 5.6 @ 6500 for the AF18, MONSTER HORSEPOWER! My japanese manual turned up today, so have been looking through it Neat. Starter circuit is working now after a clean, the horn is borked so will buy a new one and the headlights, of course, run off their own coil in the stator, derp. Got the cylinder off, it was jamming on some congealed crud that had built up on the piston while it was sitting, need to replace the circlips as they are quite corroded. Shopping list so far is Horn Headgasket Circlips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kicker Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Ha, used to own one of those, had one of the original style Kats too. Mine was white and black with gold frame 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Was hoping a Dio exhaust would fit without too much hassle, looks like a bit of chopping is needed from a couple Japanese sites I have found. ^The Ruckus wheels look pretty sweet on these 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 kinda want to see one with the nosecone raised and used as a front fairing/windscreen, with clamp-ons tucked inside.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kicker Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 So the piston rings are mega stuck, heat and penetrant not working and the rest of it doesn't look too flash so I'm looking for a replacement. Can't find anything listed as a Beat piston, I have a parts catalogue on the way which will help with part numbers. Bore and stroke are 40 x 39.3 which is common to some other Honda scoots of the same vintage but one difference is this runs a 12mm pin so I looked at oversize Dio pistons but height might be an issue with those. Eventually I found something on eBay which looks to be perfect, measurements all match up, just waiting on a couple details and it's $45 delivered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Night Shamalayan Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I've got an AF27 dio piston kicking round for size if you wanted to try it out or whatever. its scored to fuck down one side, but might be useful for a test fit?

Popular Post kicker Posted December 12, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2016 Waiting for parts at the moment, boo. Jumping the gun a bit, this is coming too now, yay. I stripped and cleaned up the switch blocks and am now just working through cleaning all the grime of the bodywork and frame. I stripped the clocks to clean the alloy plated bezel, pretty funny, has lights for the VTACS but also a speed warning light that comes on at 35kph. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Value Buddy Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I saw a matching one of these outside KFC Kilbirnie last night. Same colour and gold wheels. The nature of Wellington means you will ride past this dude on yours and have a joyful moment when you see each other. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kicker Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Piston arrived, looks good. Will give the cyl a hone and wang it in. The JDMness of this scoot means find replacement parts is a bum, have not been able to track down a headgasket and due to also having to seal the waterjacket and exhaust chamber I can't get away with a coat of copper spray. I have been in touch with a custom gasket outfit based in Thailand, gasketstogo.com, they have quoted US$12.95 for a composite gasket with fire ring, no setup cost and a lead time of 12 days. Sweet. The carb cleaned up a treat, was pretty damn clean inside, just a little bit of gelatinous old fuel. Pulled the variator and clutch off to clean them up, has some green rollers in it, anyone know what the stock weight might be? No tiny scales to check them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Stock rollers are 11.2g, have ordered some lighter ones to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kicker Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 I got some 7.5's on the way, good starting point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Yeah should be an improvement, will raise the shift point a fair few RPMs. The way to do it is buy an assortment of cheap rollers in various weights (eBay ftw) and try different combos until you get it how you want it, then once you find what works swap the cheap ones out for a decent set. You can mix 2 different weights too, I'm running 3X 3.5 and 3X 3.75 weights which has put my shift point at 10,750rpm/need to go slightly heavier as my peak power is at about 10,250rpm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
