Hello!

[goodkat]

Hey there, newcomer here, never had a scooter before, only bikes ranging from 250 to 650cc.

Last week I paid a reservation on a 1999 Honda Giorno 50 (2t). Can't wait to get my hands on it so I can start tear it apart and customise it on my own taste.

I'm trying to find a repair manual / maintenance manual but no success. As far as I know, the Giorno code is AF24.

Any of you folks have a service manual for this model? Or do you know if this engine was used also on other scooters?

Regards,
Alex

It looks like a Honda Metropolitan pre US introduction. Nice scoot, there are some Met Ruckus guys that will chime in soon.

Thank you for the warm welcome! This is a 2 stroke engine, never had one before...well...except maybe chainsaws.

Being my first scooter, I need to learn about how a variator works (i know the theory behind it but It would be a first on practice)...can't wait to take it on a ride.

Welcome to the forum goodkat.
Little two stroke scooters are a blast. I had many big capacity motorcycles before getting a scooter. These little things can still put a big smile on your face.

Thank you, aeroxbud. Still having a hard time on finding a repair manual for the AF24 engine. I am already thinking on how to mod this small Honda. First I would try to adapt some nicer alloy wheels, front disc brake and a different front suspension (the standard one is some sort of girder suspension) want to adapt a full front end from any scoot that might fit. I'm going to have a shitload of questions to you folks.

Brent has a good thread on CVT theory that could get you started: 49ccscoot.proboards.com/thread/8213/cvt-operational-theory

That sounds a great build already. Make sure you start a build thread so we can check it out.

Just let me get my hands on it and I will make a thread...will be slowly updated, I must warn you. I got another project in the making. I'm building a scrambler out of a Suzuki Volty 250x and this year I want to finish it..I got a build thread on a different forum if you guys are into these kind of builds

Put some pictures up. We have an other vehicles section. Lots of us have modified bikes, and cars.
