Gio X31 build-up thread

The only concern that comes to mind with the Gio is the lack of compression release. If you slowly lick past TDC on compression, your kicker should be ok. The rest of the motor is very close to an OHC Honda 200.

The factory isn't likely to ever build high compression mills, because they retain so many in China and export several to India, etc. High compression requires high octane to thwart detonation, and I bet it's hard to come by in developing nations.
