So another package showed up from Japan this AM

The one on the left, now what could that be?

YAY CANDY!

 

 

 

 

Now back to the Gyro, went out to the shed and the front fell off

Then another went most of the way on!!

:shock::-D

 

AF35 Dio ZX front end fitted to an AF56 stem.

Needs a little bit of trimming and maybe a gusset welded in under here, just so I can actually turn lol

My stock bars aren't even close to fitting, need an AF35 speedo cable, brakes don't work but they might get away with just being bled as it all looks in good condition.

As I submitted that last post there was a knock at the door, another courier with a parcel from China this time

New torque driver with both straight and curved slots and a 19mm variant of the stock carb, which at first look over is hard to tell its a fake, it's that well made!!

Way bigger throat and slide than the stock Dio carb that's on there!

Aliexpress FTW haha

Yeah, the shocks etc I got from UpGarage Riders and the stem came from Yahoo auctions.

Almost had an issue with Japan Post as your not allowed to send shocks or wheels with tyres fitted, I was just lucky my friend managed to convince them it was a different shockless set up and that there was no tyre fitted. Thankfully they didn't open the box and inspect haha.

 

Have a look at your frame to see if an AF35 stem will work, there's no way one would have on mine without removing all the front trim, I went with an AF56 stem on advice from Garage HMK who is Gyro specialist.

I have found a guy who has done it already, the AF35 stem clears the bodywork but not the frame :) How does the AF56 differ?

"Clearanced" the underside of the front panel thing, might need a few spots of weld to add some strength back.
Forks now turn unobstructed, need to make up stoppers too.


Had a look to see if I can get the brake working, master didn't feel to be making much/any pressure so it was my first port of call

Yummy.
If I can find kits, I'll rekit both the master and caliper, braided line would be nice too as well as being easier to route than the thick rubber one.

Otherwise it's a brakecleen rebuild and pressure bleed.

Yeah mate, this carb takes the standard 4mm Keihin jets, $10 for 12 jets delivered from Aliexpress (or $5 each + courier from Auckland)

I've got a wide range of jets on there way now, I always like to have a vast assortment on hand in steps of 2.

Got 12 pilot jets as well, so I should be able to dial it in perfect for the new pipe etc once it's on.

 

 

 

Found the part number for the caliper kit, at least 100 different Hondas use the same kit so shouldn't be too hard to get hold of one!

In a non Gyro related update, I picked up a mower from a local hoarder type character, think backyard full of mowers, weedeaters, pocket bikes, coin operated kiddy rides and just all sorts of assorted junk he's dragged home from who knows where.

Anyway while haggling with him over the mower Aaron excited came up and asked about an old generator he'd spotted in the corner.

So yeah he's found a Chinese generator with a 6.5hp Chonda engine on it, it's meant to run well but doesn't make electricity, we're trying to find out if the crank output shaft is the same on a generator as it is on a straight out stationary engine?

If so for $30 he's got a 6.5hp to replace the 3.5hp on the death kart.

Continuing with the brakes I pulled the caliper and line off tonight, caliper was pretty well stuck, neither the slides nor the piston wanted to move.
So yeah that required a bit more investigation

Doesn't look too bad right?

So how about after applying a bit of compressed air into the bleed nipple hole?

Mmmmm tasty!

Believe it or not I'd already given everything a good squirt of brake cleaner and a wipe down with a rag.

Gave everything a damn good clean, used some 2000 paper to clean the bore and piston etc, seals were in remarkably decent condition so I lubed it up and reassembled

Also cleaned out the master cylinder and flushed the line, refitted it all and bled it up.

Feels like it's working nicely now, decent pressure etc.
The Dio line is way too short for the Gyro though, but I've got a brand new 1100mm braided SS line that was too long for the Let's, which should work out nicely!

Carb: http://www.aliexpress.com/BnIFBfMN $10 more than mine, I paid $20.42, but I've just seen the seller I got it from has added $15.50 shipping to it since I ordered :doubt:

Main jets: http://www.aliexpress.com/fqaqmQF3

Pilots:http://www.aliexpress.com/nUfyye2A
I've ordered from the seller with the jets at least 6 times now, decent quality.

Birthday parcel from Japan!

WTtLBcI.jpg

Good mix of new and decent second hand parts

9LmNRbZ.jpg

New genuine Honda carry tray thing, HVFactory ignition trim, AF35 speedo cable, Daytona CVT stuff that I got just cause it was only ¥400 with free Amazon prime shipping lol.

And also a few decent condition second hand parts, late model handle bars, front carrier rack, trim panel and genuine Zoomer lights.

Once I'm not too scared to even plug my Tig in I've got a few ideas on what to do with the bars etc...

 

 

Also these just arrived for the exhaust

AQLyXhE.jpg

Sightly oversized at 27.5mm I'd, but should flow well at least lol
