Honda Metro = GY6?

[captishmael]

Does my Honda Metropolitan use a GY6 engine? I'd sure like to get a BBK for the Metro!

Hi
Welcome aboard
Pleased to meet you
What year is yours
The 2002 to 2009 Metropolitan uses a GET2 engine. This engine was also used in the Honda Ruckus, but with a longer swing arm.

Mine is 2006, the Link above is very helpful, thank you for that!

I have not been able to find anything regarding a Big Bore Kit for the Metro, am I out of luck? I'm fairly happy with the Metro, I get about 35-38 MPH out of it, but my acceleration table looks like this-
0-20 1 Block
0-30 2 Blocks
0-35 3 Blocks

If I could get 'er up to 30 in 1 Block, I'd be a happy camper!

FWIW, I'm nearly 60, have had motorcycles continuously since I was 14, currently have 4 in addition to the Metro. Around town, the Metro is by far and away the most fun to drive.

Hi
Your most welcome
Theres not a lot out there for aftermarket performance parts for the Metro
You could try changing the variator weights to get some more acceleration off the line lighter weights would accomplish that, and a tuned pipe would help squeeze a little more performance out of the engine
