Good morning every one!.. I'm picking up a 97 Honda dio sr tomorrow..this site has been great at finding the upgrades I want when I finnaly get my hands on this scoot. Just wondering if many people have experience with these scoots...I'm looking to give it a 6" stretch and hopefully a bit bigger rolling stock..like a ruckus front and rear tire rim combo...any thoughts??

Well paint is underway..I went with this paint scheme...at least till I recover the seat..then its going all black.. the stumble and hesitation seems to be going away..blowing out the mothballs I guess Attachments:

Its unlikely the stuff in the tank is still gasoline, if its been sitting. The stumbling will pass. Drain the fuel system and give it a fresh sparkplug and it will stop I bet

OK..I think I fixed my problem..it was dieng when I gave it any throttle off idle when warm..so I turned the mix screw all the way in and turned it 4 turns out..and bumped the idle up a 100rpm or so...seems to be running off idle OK..but haven't taken it for a spin yet..I also drilled a 1/2 inch hole in the air box and put a screen over it..seems to like that...am I on the right track?

Welcome,
Opening up the airbox may make you need to put a larger jet in the carb, more air with the same fuel makes it run lean and hot.

Your right..it dident like that...covered the whole and turned theix screw back a half turn...runs again...still having off idle problems..thinking a plug might fix it

Well new fuel is not going to hurt it either.
If you need a manual for it, one for a Dio is posted on the new forum in the manual area.

Came with the manual!!..service records too!!....any one modified the stock taillight to accept bulbs and gotten rid of the stupid outrigger taillights!!..I opened the turn signal lens..its just got a blank back where the socket would go....I guess I'll just gut the big exterior lights and throw the in nerds in the factory casing??
