Re: 1984 Honda Gryo running nicely now

Johnniespeed, Thanks for the nice words and the tip about the Wilwood rubber boots. You are right.. the next step is to paint the wheels and forks, and install new rubber boots. Did you have to buy a pair of cylinders to get the boots, or two rebuild kits, or is there a source for just the boots? Al...

Re: 1984 honda gyro part?

I found the answer to this one.. Since the earlier message from June 20, 2012, about using a 2 inch longer cable from a '83 -'84 Honda Aero was posted, Honda ran out of these cables as well as the 1984 Gyro front brake cable. However, I did stumble on a seller on eBay who seems to have unlimited sup...

1984 Honda Gryo running nicely now

A month ago, I decided to buy a basket case 50 CC scooter to have a project to work on and discovered the 1984 Gryo. It looked pretty cool, and I decided to see if I could find one. As luck would have it, I found a nice one on ebay not too far from my house a week later. The main problem with it was...

Re: honda gyro starting problems

When I got my Gryo a couple of weeks ago, it hadn't been run in more than a year, and I got it to start for the first time by squirting raw gasoline into the spark plug hole. It fired and ran for a second or two, and so I repeated the process three times, and it began to run pretty well, I took it f...

Re: GRYO NN50 SMALL PANEL ON ENGINE COVER

Three weeks ago, I bought a 1984 Gyro, and prior to that, had never heard of one. I found a link to the factory workshop on this forum and wiki, and many other tips, so today, I decided to give back to the forum. A week ago, I discovered that Krylon fusion paint for plastics Red Pepper was an exact ...

Re: 1984 honda gyro part?

I have the same problem.. can't find a front brake cable for my 1984 NN50MD Gyro. Unfortunately, I can't find one from a 83-84 Aero 50 either.. they seem to be unobtainable too. I can find one for the 85 Aero and it looks to be 6 inches too long instead of 2 inches too long. I may try to use the 6 i...
