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 sorry if it's hard to read or anything or if you cant access the photos I'll upload elsewhere! Updates to Come.

Sanded down the fairings today, gonna get primed tomorrow. Old sticker adhesive was a pain in the a**

Got shipped the wrong carb got a 34mm instead of a 24mm, ordered a 24mm from a reputable seller near cyprus.

Installed oil pump plug

Dont know how much gas is in the tank rn so i probably just put way too much 2t in is it gonna be okay?

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

Got the brake kit in the mail yesterday and put it on the rims, looks pretty cool. But it seems that i need a new spacer

And now im thinking about paint colours for the plastics

Also should the intake on the case be ported for the corsa? This is a jdm af18 dio

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

Parts arrived finally

Just read my initial post, it's an scr corse 70 for minarelli vertical

Is this sound normal? It sounds like scratching, but im pretty sure i lubed up everything, my dad says its the excess oil making that sound. Thanks
