Instability behaviour of a gyropendulum subjected to white noise vertical support motion is examined. Conditions for almost-sure asymptotic stability are obtained explicitly. A stochastic averaging procedure is employed to evaluate the maximal Lyapunov exponent. The sign of this exponent determines
