Dio af18 project🔥

Post by zapperaf28 »

Hello, i live in cyprus where we have plenty of dio scooters and this is my second dio I've owned its an af18 and I've decided to document my build this time and let you guys give me advice on everything.

Parts On the way for the project
(From Scooterattack since im in the EU)
Cylinder kit: Polini Corsa
Exhaust: Scr Corse Handmade for minarelli vertical
Clutch: Motoforce clutch bell and adjustable clutch+ Polini torque spring +15%
Belt: Malossi kevlar drive belt
⬇️(Aliexpress)
Carburetor: Chinese Pwk 24mm with ebay manifold
Gears: 16x42 (9:1)
Koso RPM Gauge and a koso temp gauge

My previous dio (the AF28)
Had a polini contessa with a stage6 clutch and a 21mm phgb carburetor with stock gearing i could do ≈85kmh but it would push the motor to the limits and i also ran a very weird exhaust on it that i have no idea what brand it was, the rpm gauge i had on it used to peak around 10500 RPM but it was kind of overevving.
This is my first upload on a forum ever :confused: sorry if it's hard to read or anything or if you cant access the photos I'll upload elsewhere! Updates to Come.

If it doesnt like your oil mix, it will let you know pretty quick. Too much oil will either be fine, run like crap or not run at all. Its the “not enough oil” that will break stuff. Lol

Be sure to hondabond the heck out of the oil plug before you shove it in. They have o-rings but somehow still leak sometimes.

Hmm i ordered some loctite quick gasket as hondabond isn't really available in cyprus. The plug fit perfectly i think but when everything finally arrives I'll probably do it

Porting isnt necessary to make it rip. The Corsa is amazing for bolt-on and go as is. If you were going to do any porting you’d need to crack open the cases and remove the crank while you do it. Then do the boost port and some other small internal bits while youre in there. Its not worth the effort for complete tear down unless youre doing a crank swap already. If you go that far, port the Corsa itself while youre at it.

Okay thanks, i won't be swapping the crank anytime soon i don't think, the scooter only has 4k km on it.
When it eventually gives though I'm thinking about an athena crank
