Scooter Honda Dio AF 62/68 (Honda Dio AF) BA-AF62

In 2003, the production of the Honda Dio AF 62 scooter began, which will be discussed in this review. The scooter is quite popular in Russia, although it is inferior to its predecessors due to a different type of engine. In 2007, the line underwent a slight “rebranding”; This is how the Honda Dio AF68 model was released. It is slightly different from the previous Dio in terms of frame, engine and some technical characteristics, although it remains the same as before - universal. Let's take a closer look at the AF 62/68 series and compare the two scooters.

Appearance

Honda Dio AF 62 has a classic “Honda” fairing with metal fasteners, pointed in the shape of a triangle at the front, crystal optics and a lightweight steel frame.

The photo shows the Honda BA-AF62 scooter model.

Interesting! Until the 2000s, almost all models in the Dio line were produced with a steel frame; the AF 62 was one of the “pioneers”, as it was equipped with an aluminum structure.

At the front there is an 80/100 R10 wheel, from which there is a diagonal slope to the steering column. The turn signals and lights are not separated by anything; the scooter is additionally equipped with two mirrors on long footrests.

In the rear part, on a small plastic stand, there is a trunk attached to the seat. Below it are pointed taillights, shaped deeper into the fairing, and an 80/100 R10 wheel is covered by the rear fender. The side of the disc is covered with a massive muffler.

Dio AF 62 has a comfortable and wide double seat. It is quite easy to seat a passenger with a driver, and there is also a trunk at the rear. The entire scooter is very roomy, as there is a luggage compartment under the driver’s seat that can easily accommodate a helmet. There is also a glove compartment in front of the driver where you can put small things, and in addition to this, you can install a basket on the scooter.

The dry weight of the scooter is 73 kg, full weight is 77 kg.

It is important that the AF 62 changed the location of the gasoline tank: now it is also located behind the seat, which has finally established its place in the design of 50 cc scooters from Honda.

Criterias of choice

I bought it and tried it right away, it was my very first trip, then I felt its power. I quickly got used to it and on the third day I drove almost at full power. I went to refuel and came across a 14% rise on my way. I was surprised that he climbed it so easily. I turned the handle halfway and he just flew up that climb. At a maximum speed of 90 km/h, nothing happens to it, the dynamics are simply wonderful. I recommend for purchase.

Brakes

Brakes can be installed either drum type or disc. The disc brake mounted on the front wheel is a great thing. If you compare it with a hundred and ten, which has drum brakes, the difference is noticeable.

No cables! How the brake hose is installed on the car. There is a box with brake fluid on the steering wheel.

As the engine crankshaft rotates, air is forced into the hose until the pressure in the hose equals the maximum pressure in the cylinder. Naturally, from the above, it follows that leaks will be minimal if the cylinder has a perfectly round shape, there are no longitudinal marks on its working surface, the piston rings fit perfectly to it and to the end surfaces of the piston grooves; if the gaps in the ring locks are close to zero and, finally, the valve plates fit perfectly to the seats.

Comparison of Honda Dio AF 62 and AF 68

In 2007, the Honda Dio AF 62 model was revised. The model was given a new number AF68. The new product has similar characteristics to the AF62, but differs in the type of fuel supplied to the engine, as a result of which the engine received a different index - AF67E. It also remained air-cooled.

Unlike the AF62, the modified AF68 model has electronic fuel injection control - an injector, instead of a carburetor.

The frame was replaced, several new color options for the fairing body appeared, and the shape of the plastic itself changed a little.
