How does a carburetor work?
The carburetor design of the Honda Lead 90 scooter may seem complicated at first glance.
But if you have a basic understanding of how nodes are arranged, you can figure out this block without any problems. Although it is better to entrust fine tuning and repairs to a specialist if you do not have the skills. When the power plant is running, the pressure level in the carburetor decreases relative to the atmospheric pressure. Air enters the carburetor and combustion compartment, capturing fuel from the chamber, mixing with it, forming a mixture of fuel and air.
The gas handle on the steering wheel directly interacts with the valve and the metering needle fixed in it. When the gas is released, the needle completely blocks the fuel injection channel from the float-type chamber, and the damper blocks the flow of air. The more actively you gas, the higher the spool needle will rise and the more the fuel supply channel will be uncorked. Along with the needle, the air damper also rises. The volume of the fuel mixture naturally increases and enters the combustion compartment, where it is ignited by a spark plug.
Detailed review
A few words about the appearance of the scooter. Honda has a pretty good design, although there are no distinctive features from Japanese mopeds of the 90s. Traditionally, the entire body consists of plastic, which is held on by special clips. Its quality is up to the mark and is quite durable. Rear view mirrors are installed on the sides to control the placement of the scooter on the road surface. A soft seat is installed for the driver and passenger, which allows you to feel comfortable throughout the trip.
Under the seat there is a compact trunk where you can place keys, a first aid kit and much more. There is a luggage area above the brake light. And under the control panel there is another “box” where you can also put small items.
Test drive and reviews
The scooter's spacious luggage compartment makes it easy to transport cargo over long distances, eliminating the need for backpacks.
Honda Giorno is offered in a wide range of colors: the buyer can choose the color of the scooter to suit his taste. The color design can be either one-color or two-color.
The low center of gravity ensures the stability of the retro scooter while driving and is due to the way the engine is mounted to the frame. Despite excellent and confident handling, the motorcycle is suitable for the warm season and loses stability on a sandy track: low cross-country ability is sacrificed in favor of the compactness of the Honda Giorno, which is more relevant for urban areas.
The scooter has been produced for 12 years, during which time it has collected numerous positive reviews from motorcyclists, noting not only its dynamism, but also its unique design, made in retro style and emphasizing the individuality and uniqueness of the driver. The engine runs softly and smoothly, almost silently, without extraneous sounds or squeaks.
The Japanese company Honda created a retro scooter for a wide target audience: the model is chosen by both young people who want to stand out in the city traffic, and mature motorcyclists who are nostalgic for bygone times. In addition, the scooter is offered at an affordable price: on the Russian secondary market you can purchase a Honda Giorno for 35-45 thousand rubles, depending on the general condition and mileage.
Next development
In 1998, production of another model of the popular scooter began. It was a two-seater Honda Lead 100 scooter. The new car was distinguished by its streamlined shape and a large headlight in one block with turn signals. The high-quality plastic lining flows smoothly around the wide double seat, giving the impression of solidity and good design.
The headlights include a powerful reflector with two built-in halogen lamps, creating a dual sharp beam of light that covers a sixty-degree wide area in front of the scooter. The taillights are not so powerful, their design corresponds to low-speed scooters, when powerful brake light and turn signal lamps do not make sense; 10-15 watt bulbs are enough.
Sasha Sanchez. 33 years old, motorcyclist. A new animal SUDDENLY appeared in my auto-moto park. It all happened by chance - before the well-known changes in legislation were adopted, we undertook to purchase a replacement club moped for the club’s motorcycle brothers who had been deprived of their licenses or were in trouble. At the end of the season there were a lot of good offers and I found a nice Honda Giorno AF24, which was planned for the role of a clubmoped. However, immediately after the purchase, my beloved wife and son ran into the garage, touched it, rode it and resolutely declared that the scooter was terribly cute and they would not give such a handsome thing to the common fund. And it will serve them for travel and riding. They squeezed it out, in short, out of lawlessness. I didn't have time to make a sound. So he settled in my garage. Administrative resource, huh.
The Honda Giorno AF24 model appeared on the market in 1992. The scooter was one of the first modern “retro” scooters, with relatively modern technical features, but with a design in the spirit of the 50s. The design is original and does not copy models from other manufacturers, but it strongly resembles the old models of Italian Vespa and Lambretta.
Which is logical: Italians are the undisputed trendsetters here, and it all started with them. Technically, the scooter is based on the Honda Tact AF24. The model is reliable and well known to everyone.
Lever front fork, drum brakes, not particularly playful engine. Everything fits into the style. But if the lever fork is really soft and comfortable, and the two-stroke engine that devours 92 gasoline pleases with low refueling costs, then the drum brakes of this model are an absolute and undeniable evil.
I've never owned a scooter with both drum brakes before. So this is a terrible horror. My Ninka engine brakes much more effectively than this archaic with both its drums at the same time. There is no front at all. When braking, the lever fork is activated and we get a downward dive with almost no deceleration. The rear one is somehow working, but that’s it, at least somehow. I adjusted the brakes only roughly, and the tires were damaged, but I’m afraid it won’t be possible to radically change the braking dynamics.
Nevertheless, despite the almost complete inoperability, the drum brakes look very appropriate and do not spoil the design. For example, the modern retro scooter SYM Allo. It looks cool and attracts attention, but personally I am terribly bothered by the modern telescopic shock absorber and disc brake. From the point of view of common sense, everything is as it should be, but what does a retro scooter and common sense have to do with it?
Design, that's its main feature. The baby looks great and attracts the attention of others. Ninka, who is also a show-stopper, attracts about as many interested glances as a polished, sparkling chrome zhorik. For example, all the car wash staff came running to wash it. Because he's funny and cool. Well, (pseudo)sportbikes are far from the people, as are their armor-clad astronaut pilots of inhuman appearance. And here it seems like just a funny dude on a funny moped. The same Easy rider, only very easy 
In general, none of the most sporty Poltos in fashionable stickers will attract as much attention as a retro scooter in stock. The design is timeless and looks harmonious with any pilot, from a pretty young girl to a gray-haired pensioner.
I also got the deluxe version. It differs from the basic one in other body colors, other nameplates with the name of the model and the presence of some additional decorative chrome elements (comb on the front fender, horn edging, rear brake light, muffler trim). All this sparkling opulence pairs beautifully with the gloss black exterior, a true timeless classic. This stylistic decision is appropriate even on the strict chopper of a brutal “one percenter.”
The deluxe package appeared in 1998, that is, the device I got was fairly recent and in good condition. It starts up perfectly and slowly but surely puts the speedometer needle “over 60”, and also moves off very quickly. According to the previous owner, some kind of sports variator is installed there. What exactly it costs is a mystery, since I haven’t gotten into the variator yet, I’ll look later. However, a sharp start clearly indicates tuning clutch springs; it grabs at high speeds, and not from the bottom. If you unscrew the handle all the way from the seat, the front wheel is noticeably unloaded, and sitting on the back of the seat we even get some kind of wheelie. But further acceleration is rather sluggish, although smooth and confident.
I don’t really like these settings, but there is some fun at the start. The lever fork, the low saddle height and the overall weight and dimensions of the device also give it pure “fifty thousand” fun. That is, quickly grab onto the dirt road, turn 180 degrees like on a tank by simply lifting the baby by the steering wheel, dashingly push off in a turn with your foot, like on an endurike. The speeds are low, but the fun, fun and dust are through the roof. Even the gray smog from the muffler (two-stroke engine) is in place here. Not a bug, but a feature. But the lever fork, appropriate on dirt roads, behaves nervously on the asphalt in high-speed turns and probably, as they say in various Giorno tests, can break in a sharp turn. But with such brakes and a sluggish engine, driving this scooter vigorously is still strictly contraindicated. Calmly dragging along in the far right lane and gawking as everyone stares at you - this is the destiny of the Giorno pilot.
There is a kickstarter and electric starter, a horn signal and a low-range switch that are standard for this class. The light is on constantly and cannot be turned off. The headlight is powered by a generator; if you give more gas, it shines brighter. On the instrument panel there is a speedometer, a light indicating the need to add oil, a speed indicator (which lights up after reaching a speed of 40 km/h) and, shame on the creators of the Kawasaki Ninja 250r(!), a fuel indicator in the tank. All instruments are analog, with arrows and inscriptions in a funny old-fashioned font.
As for ergonomics, I have some complaints. Firstly, the turn signal switch. It came from the Tact model, is archaic and inconvenient. The modern standard turn signal switch on motorcycles turns off the working turn signal by pressing the center of the lever. That is, left-right turns on the corresponding signal, and pressing the center of any of the signals turns off. On this model, the switching algorithm is: left-stop-right.
That is, I turn on the left turn by pressing the slider to the left. I finished the maneuver and in order to turn off the turn signal, I need to get into a fixed position in the center of the slider. The slider step between positions is a few millimeters, so it’s easy to miss and turn on the right turn signal instead of turning off the left one. But the turn signal relay clicks very loudly, which helps you remember to turn them off. The second thing I don't like is the mirrors. They are round, stylish and chrome-plated, but they are difficult to see. They are located quite low relative to the steering wheel and to look at them you have to look down. On the same Dio AF-28 that I had, the mirrors are almost in front of your eyes and you can look into them without taking your eyes off the road. At the same time, they were oval in shape and they clearly showed what was happening behind them. Visibility is much worse here. At the same time, which is a shame, the mirrors are very spaced to the side and extend beyond the dimensions of the steering wheel. In traffic jams, this greatly reduces the passability, which is definitely bad for a fifty-kopeck guy, who, if he can bother anyone in the city, is only in a traffic jam.
The front shield also stands at right angles to the floor and does not have footrests. That is, a “chopper” landing with outstretched legs will not work, only “like on a stool.” On the floor there is a tunnel that is needed for no apparent reason. It’s small, but the floor is no longer level and you can’t carry a box of beer at your feet. The seat is soft and comfortable and theoretically you can sit together with an oversized passenger. He (the passenger) will have nowhere to put his legs, but the very shape of the saddle allows this to be done, albeit without any comfort. However, as for the comfort of the saddle, I may not be entirely objective - after Ninka’s plywood covered with leatherette, any saddle will seem convenient and comfortable.
Even though the main feature of this scooter is the pont factor, it is not completely impractical. Still, this is a Honda, with all that it implies. An open 3/4 helmet fits into the underseat glove compartment. It takes some effort, but it fits. It’s interesting that, unlike other fifty kopecks, there is a plastic skirt-edging along the lower edge of the saddle cushion. If you lift the saddle, then part of the body (this very skirt) will rise with it. It prevents water from getting into the glove compartment when it rains, plays the role of a guide to quickly close the saddle correctly and just looks interesting.
On the front panel there is a hook, traditional for such devices, for packages or bags.
The tubular luggage rack is located behind the saddle at an angle, is impractically chrome-plated (it can be easily scratched by a load), but you can still attach something to it with a spider net if you need it.
The scooter is very popular, there are a lot of spare parts for it and almost everything is in stock. By the way, the popularity of the model has played a bad joke on it - it is the Giorno that is ridden by a huge number of all sorts of inadequate hipsters, who create a lot of problems for other participants in the movement and are infinitely far from the motorcycle theme. I personally was once almost killed by such a fashionable fagot-looking mustache guy on a red Giorno, like a madman who rushed across the aisle of me right after the green traffic light. And on Taganka I watched as a guy in a Giorno drove into the door of the box, because he rushed to the pale green one, and the box thought that it would slip through. Well......and I already talked about the brakes. I stopped - the guy absolutely honestly didn’t understand why I stopped and why I was showing such concern for his accident. In general, it is not surprising that when I ride a Giorno, God forbid, every tenth of the two-wheelers I meet greets me. It's a shame, annoying, but understandable.
Still, no matter how hard I convinced myself, I couldn’t go in full gear. I pulled on an open helmet and gloves, but I couldn’t do more. It’s stupid and stupid, especially with such brakes, but that’s how it is. I consoled myself that I was only riding around the area, doing household chores. Well, in the end! Why do you need half a thousand if it is also fully booked? Again, the design, the main feature, just doesn’t fit in with the full kit. I’ll throw my open helmet in the garage, so that the scooter will always be ready for an immediate start, like a young pioneer. To take me to the nearest store on a warm summer evening, when you don’t feel like making a reservation at all, and driving a car in such weather is completely stupid. Well, a “school desk” for the wife and an attraction “ride with dad through empty garages at a speed of 30 km/h” for the son. And in general, this is a stupid purchase. We don't need him. But he was so funny and cute that, on charisma alone, he made his way into my garage, squeezing out adult vehicles. Probably he’s not Zhorik after all, but on the contrary, even Georgette
This time we had a full-fledged test, with the participation of several test pilots. The people chosen were completely different, from a first-grader to an experienced motorcyclist with many tens of thousands of kilometers under their belt. I have already expressed my opinion, and then there will be reviews from other testers.
PS Sasha SoVa - once again special thanks for organizing our family rides. Sanya, you are a true worker!
Dima, 7 years old. Second pilot. (+1 the one who sits in the back. Dima sat in front of the main pilot, operating both horns and keeping his hands on the steering wheel. Second pilot, who else?) Recorded from dictation:
Mileage : I have ridden neither less nor much on the scooter.
I liked that some things, such as skidding, are barely felt.
What I didn’t like : the fact that there is no attachment for this box on the tail... Yes, a trunk!
What I remember : a comfortable seat and riding through the autumn forest with my dad.
Where would you like to go : take a ride around Moscow (holy holy - dad's note)
What needs to be added to the Jorne : a mount for this box on the tail, a trunk. Well, and the audio system.
Conclusion : If you love luxury, then Giorno is absolutely your vehicle. :)))
Alena Pachulya, 18+. The owner of the scooter.
In the most honest way, my son and I took away a new toy from dad. Because she is never a man’s and, to be honest, not even a boy’s. She's all so feminine. On the front shield there is a hook for a handbag; you can also fit a larger bag there. The floor is wide and spacious, so heels are not a hindrance. I even want to call mirrors “mirrors” - small, like a powder compact. It’s true that they only need to touch up their makeup.
The pneumatic horn is touching, giving it some kind of retro touch. (Caring “tuning” of the spouse.) True, I’m still not very clever in using it. And if you consider that this is my first personal transport, then it evokes especially tender and reverent feelings in me. Driving it is relaxed, the controls do not distract from thoughtful contemplation of the surroundings. At any speed, you can let go of the steering wheel with one hand and wave to passersby. The main thing is not to forget to smile charmingly, and then every comrade and brother you meet will be ready to give way.
She will be my friend both for shopping and just for a ride around the area. It’s just somehow pitiful and scary to leave her in the city. She looks like a lonely homeless girl who you want to steal and save.
And in general, she is all so small and cute that men on her look somehow stooped and bulky.
Well, okay, it’s black, there’s even some chic in it. Like a little black dress.
Sasha SoVa. 35 years old, motorcyclist.
Moped fire! I'm up to 60+ without any problems. Sasha spoke about the brakes being sluggish, but I wouldn’t say that. Quite a brake for such a horse. As everyone who has ridden/rides a 50cc knows, it will go everywhere. To get to the ride we had to overcome mud, water and a terribly dense traffic jam)
You just need to tinker with the mirrors. I don't know how to set them up. They each extend 5 cm from the edge of the handle beyond the dimensions. I drove into a traffic jam and immediately hit the body of the gazelle. I folded them, and that’s where the plug ended.
Yes, and visibility in them is quite decent.
==============
This is how the test came out, this is the scooter. Everything new is well forgotten old. The cycle of time, that's it...
Cab power - Honda Super Cub scooter
In recent years, the development of a line of mopeds of this class has been launched from the assembly line in all respects by modern bikes “Dream-110i” with 8 hp. The famous Super Cab 50 model from Honda went into mass production in 2007. But the Japanese motorcycle brand made its greatest breakthrough with the C100EX in 1986. To understand that all these are not empty words, study the reviews and descriptions below.
A huge number of fellow citizens want to buy a Honda Cub C90. Using this model as an example, we will try to delve into the most important features of the line, equipped with small-volume engines. Being primarily a city vehicle, this little iron horse is capable of accelerating to a considerable speed of 80 km. per hour, although the moped chassis is not at all designed for high speed. At the same time, it consumes very little fuel. The fact that the Honda Super Cub is equipped with wheels with a large diameter adds a lot of comfort for the drivers using it. In this regard, even the best Japanese scooters are significantly behind the Cab 90, 50 and 110.
In addition to the above, the moped from Japan has beautiful and very practical leg guards in its design. The level of comfort in using the small bike increases due to the presence of a fuel indicator and a very comfortable saddle. The front space of this motorcycle was carefully designed, which allows you to add a windshield to the moped. However, this urban transport also has disadvantages, but we will discuss them below.
Carburetor operation
The scooter engine is very powerful in any modification, starting from 6.3 horsepower. The Yamaha Job carburetor has a starter enricher. When the engine is cold, when it is turned on, the retracted locking action of the enricher allows the combustible mixture to enrich itself. After turning on the engine, the generator current goes to the heating element, which, when heated, expands and blocks the enrichment channel.
The existing centrifugal automatic clutch and V-belt variator determine the high-quality and durable operation of the transmission.
Cooling system: air, forced type. Air is pumped to the cylinder cooling jacket by means of a fan.
The oil pump contains a worm drive that comes from the scooter's crankshaft.
These characteristics of the Yamaha Jog scooter allow you to move off smoothly and gently, and when the speed increases to 10 km/h, it is quite brisk and quickly picked up without any special dips or catches.
Other technical information
The scooter in question has a petal valve timing system and a variator with a diameter of 10.4 cm. Some other characteristics are presented in the table.
| Rear shock absorber height (cm) | |
| Tire pressure standard (kg/cm) | In front wheel (1.50), rear tire (1.75) |
| Voltage at maximum output current (A) | |
| Oil consumption per 1,000 km (l) | |
| Gearbox ratio | |
| Exhaust pipe | GW-3 with overflow pipe, internal diameter - 19 mm |
| Shock absorber length at centers (mm) | Front (260)/Rear (285) |
| Nominal resistance of resistors (Ohm) | |
| Brake fluid | |
| Speedometer cable length (mm) |
Qualitative indicators
The main technical characteristics of the Honda Dio are presented using the example of the AF 27 model:
| Parameters (length; width; height) | 167.5 cm; 63 cm; 99.5 cm |
| Weight | 69 kg |
| Speed | Maximum 60 km per hour |
| Tank volume (fuel; oil) | 5 l; 1.3 l |
| Load capacity | 150 kg |
| Engine | Two-stroke, variable speed with forced air cooling |
| Engine model | AF 34 E |
| Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers | 1.85 l |
| Engine capacity | 49.9 sq. cm |
| Start | Electric/kickstarter |
| Piston parameters (stroke; diameter) | 3.93 cm; 4 cm |
| Engine power | Maximum 7 horsepower (6500 rpm) |
| Chassis (brake; wheels) | Drum; 3.00-10 |
| Suspensions (front; rear) | Telescopic fork; spring shock absorber |
The entire range of Dio scooters has almost the same load capacity, speed, starting, two-stroke engine and suspension. Brakes may vary - some models have disc brakes on 1 or 2 wheels.
The Honda Dio scooter is undoubtedly endowed with considerable benefits and amenities that come in handy, especially for newly converted scooter riders. The main advantages of this vehicle include:
- speed allows you to be universal for any road;
- quite rigid frame;
- light weight, handling and excellent dynamics save the rider from unforeseen surprises;
- wear-resistant engine;
- ratio of quality and cost;
- perfect plastic, perfectly fitted at the joints;
- there is a 2nd passenger seat;
- dimensions;
- convenient trunk hidden under the seat;
- luggage hook;
- pocket immediately under the steering wheel;
- trendy design and streamlined shapes;
Photo of Honda Dio AF 34CESTA
More serious representatives, such as Dio AF 34 and 35 ZX, have the capabilities to participate in racing, and the memorable appearance will not leave any true connoisseur of motorcycle technology indifferent. Models are found in restyling, in ABS modifications, which adds extra gas shock absorbers, crystal optics, a powerful engine and alloy wheels. Some are equipped with front baskets. The AF 35 ZX model is amazingly good - this white beauty is simply mesmerizing during sharp starting jerks from traffic lights.
Any thing in use by humanity is, as a rule, imperfect. Honda Dio scooters also have some disadvantages:
- due to high demand, difficulty in purchasing;
- not suitable for winter trips;
- rather expensive service station;
- low ground clearance (between the road and the frame);
- fans of scooter racing are not satisfied with the speed offered;
Technical specifications of the Honda Giorno scooter
It is worth giving as an example some characteristics of the Honda Giorno, and also paying attention to the advantages of its performance:
| Dimensions (length; width; height) | 168.5; 63; 100.5 cm |
| Weight | 84 kg |
| Maximum speed | 60 km/h |
| Fuel tank volume | 5 l; 1.3 l |
| Load capacity | 150 kg |
| Engine | 4-stroke 1-cylinder CVT liquid-cooled |
| Fuel consumption | 1.6 l |
| Engine capacity | 49.9 cu. cm |
| Start | Electric starter |
| Engine power | 4.8 l. With. at 8000 rpm |
| Brake system | Drum |
| Suspensions (front; rear) | Lever; pendulum |
The small dimensions and weight of the Honda Giorno Crea provided the scooter with excellent mobility and cross-country ability not only on the highway, but also in urban congestion. A reliable suspension, a lightweight aluminum frame, and a drum brake system gave even novice drivers confidence during travel, keeping them generally safe. A fuel tank with a capacity of 5 liters, as well as very low fuel consumption per 100 km, saved motorcyclists from frequent refueling.
Now drivers will not have to look for opportunities to take a supply of gasoline with them. The Honda Giorno 4-stroke CVT engine, characterized by increased reliability and decent power for its class, will serve you faithfully for many years.
Judging by the reviews of the Honda Giorno Crea scooter, we can say that this technology will be an excellent solution to problems with moving around the city, as well as an addition to your lifestyle.
Af-35 review
ZX equipment
Honda Dio 35 was released in the innovative design of those years, “bio-design”, the design of the scooter is still relevant today. In addition to appearance, the company added three new trim levels:
- Basic;
- SR;
Modification SR - in addition to the basic one, it was equipped with a combined braking system. The ZX configuration is considered sporty; most often the ZX is subject to tuning; already from the factory, the Dio 35 in this configuration is equipped with:
- alloy wheels;
- oil shock absorbers;
- front disc brake;
- spoiler;
- after restyling in 1997 with a more productive engine.
The Honda Dio 35 scooter not only changed in 1997, in 2001 it began to be equipped with an anti-theft system. For the 50th anniversary of Honda, the DIO scooter was painted silver-red and dedicated a special edition to the racing team: Honda-BAR-F1.
Anniversary version
In addition, rubber mounts are used for the engine and muffler, and vibrations in the high speed range are reduced. Also, due to the excellent spatial efficiency of the horizontal engine, together with the placement of the fuel tank under the floor, (large fuel tank capacity (5.0L → 5.3L)) and engine oil tank (1.2L → 1.3L), the flattening of the lower surface of the central part, which further improves ease of use. In addition, a soft fabric mat is used on the bottom of the center section.
- New measuring school of instruments;
- A turn signal switch that automatically returns to the OFF position;
- New rear view mirror;
- Maintenance-free battery that does not need to be refilled with water;
- Rear spoiler with integrated brake light.
Tuning Honda Dio.
The fact that the scooter is great for tuning is probably one of the most pleasant moments. You can reach a maximum speed of up to 75 and even 80 km/h quite easily, and with skill, even up to a crazy 100 km/h (although this is highly not recommended).
With all this, it is worth remembering that at such speeds, the Honda Dio engine is constantly in the “red” zone and accordingly overheats, and other parts of the scooter are subject to considerable loads. Still, for tuning it is better to take larger models, such as the Honda Lead.
PS Honda Dio is a scooter that will serve for a long time and there will be a minimum of problems with it. And the ratio of its price, quality and design is simply ideal.
Honda Giorno Crea AF54
A unique representative of the Honda model range is the retro scooter Giorno Crea, presented in 1999. The classic design of the model is its main feature, distinguishing it from its competitors. Honda Giorno Crea is the ideal scooter for those who want to attract attention without blending into the general city traffic. The scooter is made in the classic design of the sixties, which cannot but attract and surprise.
Features of the cargo scooter
Today, the range of cargo scooters is not as wide as we would like; there are only a couple of models, and most of them are made in Japan. But if you want to buy an inexpensive scooter with heavy loads, take the Honda Gyro - it has a price that is much lower than a motorcycle with similar technical characteristics. There is also a certain classification of a cargo scooter; it can be either single or double. If you have big plans for a scooter in terms of transportation, choose the two-seater modification.
When choosing a cargo scooter, first of all, decide on your future cargo, because a scooter will not always be able to cope with its huge dimensions or weight. You can look at the photo of the Honda Gyro where you will see the small size of the cargo area. You can easily fit the bag in there and secure it with the support side handles on which you can stretch the rubber. And thanks to the presence of three wheels, the scooter can also transport cargo safely, even if the driver is an inexperienced driver.
Where can I buy Giorno?
Today, you can purchase a Honda Giorno scooter from almost every Honda dealer or at any motorcycle showroom due to the high demand for this model. The most common version of the first generation Giorno with a two-stroke engine is found on secondary markets and in motorcycle dealerships, in very good condition and with low mileage. It is somewhat less common to find Giorno Crea or Giorcub, the reasons for which lie in the design features of the first model and the exclusivity and uniqueness of the second model.
It is impossible to find the Giorno retro scooter in the showrooms of official Honda dealers in Russia: like other scooters with 50 cubic centimeter engines, it is not supplied to the territory of the Russian Federation. Despite this, unofficial motorcycle dealerships often offer a fairly wide selection of retro scooters from the Japanese manufacturer, and in a rich range of colors, so motorcycle enthusiasts can choose the ideal Honda Giorno for themselves. An affordable price coupled with a unique design makes the retro scooter one of the most sought-after and popular today.
Honda Zoomer X 110/150
The Honda scooter Zummer X 110/150 has been produced since 2012 at Honda factories located in Thailand. Comparing this moped with its predecessors, it becomes noticeable that it was made a little more compact. The length has shrunk by 2 cm compared to the base model, the width has shrunk by 3 cm, and the height has decreased by 2.5 cm. The seat is for two, but it’s still more comfortable to ride without a passenger. The brake system has changed. In the Zummer X 110 and X 150 the rear brake is not drum, but hydraulic. Inside there is a modified 139QMB engine with a displacement of 108 and 149 cubic meters.

What consumers say
Users of the moped in question note excellent driving performance, soft suspension combined with a rigid, informative frame, which allows you to move freely on country roads.
Consumers also consider the following positive aspects:
- ease of operation, information display;
- durable and unpretentious power unit;
- beautiful design;
- good load capacity along with decent speed;
- high quality plastic, which does not darken over the years and does not change shape even at the joints.
Among the shortcomings, owners note the capricious front fork, which often requires repair, especially after a long drive on domestic roads. Some users complain about the high cost of consumable parts, fortunately they do not break down so often. It is quite possible to purchase spare parts on order or from official dealers, but you will have to be patient while waiting for delivery. Perhaps these are the main disadvantages of this moped, if you do not take into account the wishes of a certain category of owners who prefer high speeds. It should be noted that the scooter was developed as a unit for urban movement and is unlikely to be suitable for cross-country racing.
Maintainability and spare parts
Components for the Honda Giorno scooter can be purchased both from official dealers of the brand and in any specialized stores. Replacing damaged chrome and plastic body elements will cost a large sum, which will have to be paid both for the parts themselves and for their installation. The situation is similar with spare parts for the Honda Giorno engine. The cause of engine failure may be a malfunction of the cooling system: a fluid leak can lead to increased wear and overheating of the engine.
Adjusting the Yamaha Jog Carburetor
Proper adjustment of the Yamaha Jog carburetor ensures long service life. Some adjustment tips:
- Before removing the carburetor, notice all connectors and connections, clean from external contaminants
- all elements are washed using only solvents and carburetor cleaners; jets, air and fuel channels are purged
- mechanical and chemical cleaning is not carried out - this leads to deformation of the dosing elements
- the fuel level in the float chamber is regulated by extending the metal float plate, which has a shut-off needle
- Normally, deposits on the spark plug are brick-colored with a light brown tint.
- By changing the damper angle they control the fuel-air mixture
- cold start has three application variations:
- mechanical (manual raising/lowering of the damper using the steering handle);
- thermomechanical (on the cylinder head there is a bimetal plate control sensor with carburetor tubes, the carburetor contains a membrane block that moves the valve through vacuum) - more often on older models;
- electronic (a mechanism that is self-adjusting and has a thermocouple);
Advantages of Honda Giorno
Based on owner reviews of the Honda Giorno, you can compile a whole list of advantages that distinguish this scooter from other equipment:
Excellent appearance, which attracts the attention not only of motorcycle connoisseurs, but also of ordinary people. The low price of the model makes it accessible to almost everyone - for a used scooter, owners will charge you from 35 to 50 thousand rubles, which can be compared with the cost of Chinese budget mopeds and scooters. A reliable, although not very powerful, engine that will not let you down even in the cold season. The prices for spare parts for this scooter are quite reasonable, so operation and repairs will not hit the owners hard. The model opens the way to various improvements. Impressive fuel tank capacity. A spacious trunk located under the seat will significantly reduce the number of things you will carry in a travel bag or backpack. Low fuel consumption will help to significantly save the money you allocate for gasoline, which has become more expensive lately.
Disadvantages of a scooter
The almost perfect scooter from Honda also has weaknesses. These include the radiator’s susceptibility to rapid contamination, the inaccessibility of spare parts, as well as modifications aimed at improving performance, which can only be handled by a person well versed in repairing scooters and motorcycles. In addition, it is worth noting that the more mileage a Honda Giorno scooter has, the more significant modifications the owner will need.
In conclusion, it is worth saying that it is better to buy a Honda Giorno scooter from foreign sellers, since even after a short run in Russia, the equipment will require large investments in repairs. In general, the model makes a positive impression - this is evidenced by the demand for it and its enormous popularity. If you are looking for a compact vehicle for getting around the city, then the Honda Giorno is what you need!

Technical characteristics of Honda Giorno
From a technical point of view, the retro scooter is in no way reminiscent of classic motorcycle models, being equipped with a high-strength aluminum frame, a lever-type front suspension that ensures comfortable and smooth movement on any road surface, and a four-stroke engine with a liquid cooling system. The maximum speed provided by the single-cylinder AF-54E engine is 60 km/h. The speed limit is limited by electronics, the “collar” of which can be easily reset if desired.
A powerful engine makes it easy to start and accelerate in heavy traffic, which is important for the realities of a modern city. The engine capacity of the Honda Giorno AF54 is 49 cubic centimeters; the belt drive is responsible for transmitting torque to the drive wheel.
Controlling the scooter is simple and easy thanks to its small turning radius, no need to change gears and low weight. An electric starter makes starting the engine easier. The efficiency of the engine is at the level: per 100 kilometers, the Honda Giorno consumes 1.63 liters, subject to a speed limit of 30 km/h. The voluminous and compact 5-liter gas tank allows you to make long trips on the scooter without refueling.
The simple design of the Honda Giorno carburetor engine makes it easy to repair, which makes the scooter preferable to its injection counterparts.
