Honda Ruckus MODS for an everyday commuter ride.

I'll add more as I can remember them. Mods I say can be cool and make you faster but not kill your reliability or speed.

Okay, you went over my head in the first 5 minutes. I have no idea what you are talking about most of the time. Enjoy your bike.

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Sorry to hear that, older video of mine but yes I will enjoy it .

[@doradopost]

these videos i watched during quarantine when i got my 2009. Just deleted the intake so now its a race for summer. Thank you for all your amazing advice. By far best ruckus channel. Peace

[@CabezaDePistacho]

5:10 bruh, that radiator cover is genius... all the air going thru the port is going straight thru the radiator colant lines. hell yeahh! i need that! maximun cooling !

[@IMEGADETH454I]

I love that you 3D print your stuff, I plan on buying a new ruckus next year. I’m having a hard time finding those led halo headlights and am I able to purchase the rear taillight bracket for the jet taillights. I like what your doing on here bud and can’t wait to get my ruckus next year!

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Yea when you are ready let me know and I can make the bracket for you. Id love to make it. Just stick around until you get it :)

[@IMEGADETH454I]

Small Engine Velocity heck yeah man, I’ll let you know when I get the ruck for sure, in the meantime keep up with the good work/content! 🍻 cheers. Lol

[@MexiChriS]

Not too bad and very open about certain things. Wish my cousins or friends wanted a ruckus so I can snag a couple. Seems like I'm the only one who wants to play with them. Anyways, nice video man, throughly enjoyed your presentation.

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Your right that it’s more enjoyable with friends. Thanks for the kind works. I’m trying to make a few more ruckus videos a month. Seems that people are really want them :)

[@MexiChriS]

I've seen them come. Keep at it. I'm subscribed now! Got me saving per paycheck just to snag a beat up / older year model to build a ruckus now.

[@stevealvarado8053]

you: "...I didn't do alot of modifications on here." me: pretty sure you have

[@TheVegasbud]

Spray some high temp clear on the Bell after you polish it !

[@marcusriley4105]

Keep up the good work. Started watching your videos they are getting better :)

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Thank you :) I keep trying new things and trying to settle on a style that is ME. Thanks for the unput

[@jimwortham8634]

Ruckus just looks like a nice hassle-free local ride

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

In this form it was prefect ! But my “unable to leave things alone” mind changed it drastically to look so much cooler but ... less reliable.

[@BBBYpsi]

where is the link for the led projection lamps?

[@DudaZachary]

Tbis is exactly what I want to do when I get mine. The slammed ones look great, but the extensive maintenance it takes to keep it working great is not for me. Question, should I buy a used one or just go new. Im not a huge fan of buying used things. Been screwed too many times...

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Buy how ever you feel comfortable:) my ruck via the process of evolution is now a lowered ruckus and very stretched. By far less easy to handle and not a great commuter. I love it just the same. Now the second ruckus I have is just like how I had it in this video.

[@DudaZachary]

Did you need longer cables with the 6.5” stretch?

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

@@DudaZacharyyou do not if you changed your bars from stock and lowered them. If you did not then it is possible you will need to change them.

[@fdcsr3700]

Love your ruckus! What kind of kickstand do you have?

[@thomasfx3190]

I like your bike, very well put together!

[@peppermaster1189]

Couldn’t you clear coat the clutch bell. That way you won’t have to continually polish it and it would prevent rust from forming when it gets wet? Or do they make a stainless steel clutch bell??

[@alainnadeau3421]

Hello. I am considering building a custom Ruckus. Looks they were popular in 2010+, has there popularity past?

[@AllLifethingschannelyt]

Love it

[@nick56tuttle]

Where did you get the headlights you used?

[@androidken]

What state are you in? Most states those headlights aren't legal. I see so many scooters with them. You can get real headlights that won't blind people and allow you to see better when you need them.

[@Mark-ey6qs]

Clean Ruck! Link to mirrors? Thanks! *NVM saw further in that they kinda suck ;)

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Yea I switched them to a different mirror later on. Lol

[@johnburkett521]

Where did the headlights come from?

[@jonathanliu8627]

awesome vid! do you still have the file for the license plate relocator? the file is not available anymore

[@comethiburs2326]

no air filter on a daily bike? you're asking for trouble.

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

I can agree but I’m taking the risk.

[@Beardshire]

@@SmallEngineVelocity Did you re-tune the carb for the stack? You can probably get just as much gain with a properly tuned card with a k&n moto filter stack. Crusher Revolt filter would work well.

[@uziXwraith]

should be podded, but really air filter is worthless. ive ran motorcycles with no pod or airbox.

[@nordland2235]

The tube that goes from the back of the carb to the air filter tore....is there a cheap air filter and tube you can buy that will work.....my jets keep clogging...I have had to push the ruckus home 2 times in 2 weeks....that is not fun in 90s and high humidity.?

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

www.thingiverse.com/thing:2819374

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

There is a radiator tube I found back in the day that works. Its in this link from something i posted ages ago.

[@talibekind8964]

Brother...I want to have one

[@xbigbobsagetx]

Like your scooter. I’m thinking about getting a ruckus but I’m worried I’m too tall. How tall are you? I’m right at 6 feet tall.

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

I’m 5’6” and I installed a 4” frame spacer that I recommend. It’s great for tall people. Perhaps a sickspeed seat bracket (moves your seat back a bit).

[@everydaybladesinc]

I’m 6’6” y’all ruckus fits me better than most motorcycles I’ve owned.

[@nafear72]

Looking for some advise if you do not mind. I purchased a 2017 Ruckus bone stock. I rode it and it is cool but since I am coming from a 998cc Ducati Bike I feel the need for a few more miles per hr specially going uphill. I Do not want to swap out the engine cause I already have a bike with a lot of horse power but I would like to gain some more speed. Would an air box eliminator, exhaust pipe and carb re jetting gain me some of that ? Please let me know , any info will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

[@moonwalker_818]

Going to buy one for food delivery in LA .

[@Crettybocker427]

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO REMOVE THE REAR OUTPUT SHAFT i thought a c clip held it in but its not on the short side is it under the seal on the long side ???

[@cedarlime6541]

Is your ruckus still restricted for speeds? Do you know how to derestrict it?

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

RPM is restricted to 8800 rpm , you use a CDI to remove the rev limit and you go faster by messing with the CVT weights and stuff like that

[@mrb3888]

that a periphery sticker?

[@BigBrain100000]

Looks like it

[@ssvr6]

Just to note it’s “Password JDM”, not the reverse.

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Yea I made that mistake :)

[@yungjefe1876]

Hi, where did you get your pegs from and are they easy to install? Thanks

[@briangiemza1323]

Hello Just a quick question. Bought a 2019 Honda ruckus with 190 miles on it. I pulled the spark plug and the plug had oil on the threads of the plug. Is this normal? I seen your videos in KZbin on some other part installs you did and wondering if you ran across this issue. I also seen video on KZbin that when they pulled the plug it to had oil on it and only on the threads. Thanks for any help Great appreciated.

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Only on the threads your fine :) as long as it’s in on the electrode

[@tylerdurden4618]

I bought A 2018 Honda Ruckus in June of 2018 and I was wondering why does it Die when I turn the throttle too fast.?? Even in a standing/sitting position.. If I turn the throttle too fast it will die.. but it Doesn't do it if I (slowly) turn it.. Why is this??.. considering I bought it Brand New

[@krusher74]

weak spark or lack of fuel, i would pull your plug and see if its fouled

[@gregdeleonc107]

U dont got a shock for sale bro ???

[@Ethan.s..]

Is this a commuter? Looks nice besides the headlights imo.

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

yea headlights came off and went to lowered stock with LED bulbs

[@MrPtrsn]

great ideas .can i get the link of those cool headlights ...might as well get those for my zoomer...looking forward for another videos...thanks

[@tylerdurden4618]

those headlights make the bike look a bit off. it doesn't look like it goes with the bike😐

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Came that way , I do want to go back to the stock dual

[@stevencourtney1965]

Hi, not sure why I'm having trouble subscribe to you, but I chatting with KZbin and fixed the issue so I'm glade to finnaly able to see your vids, I just got a 2015 from a friend who had two of them, got it for $1500 and he through in a nice half black helmet, underbag, trickle charger and cover, I like to ride and not interested in stretching but want to put mods on like yourself and try and get some more speed, dont want to get into problems, you change one thing and then because of that you have to change another, any help you can give or pm me that be great, the one issue I'm having right now is cold start, I have to give some gas for a few minutes so its warm and runs on it's own, so can the choke be cleaned or fixed or new one, my buddy has one and he hits the start and it runs right off the bat the idels down when warm, thanks and looking forward to your vids, be blessed

[@trentonrandall9364]

Hey, If I put a yoshimura exhaust on will I need to rejet the carb or no? thanks

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Yes more than likely you will

[@uziXwraith]

china moto makes a lightened clutch bell housing that looks like a tricked out rim. get rid of that polished stock clutch bell

[@wordupmagazines32]

China models are shit

[@bluewrx04]

Hey man how did you mount that breather sideways?

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Used on of the screw holes for the plastics , it worked well

nice bike ,, great channel

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Thanks :) Its change quite a bit since this video and I feel like the changes I made made it less of a commuter but I really wanted to try a Fatty and longer stretch. You never know I may go back.

[@HenauderTitzauf]

I What this guy said below, about the air filter! Disaster to cause the engine to become a dust grinder/ extreme short life!

[@umbertogonzalez6502]

I’m having rear wheel play, any advice? Great build 🤘🏾

Try turning down the music its too loud makes your videos less enjoyable but great video

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

This is one of my earliest videos , I am still working on that balance.

[@detroitpyro2859]

@@SmallEngineVelocity appreciate your response 🙏

[@kaylabification]

bro your volume is all over the place in this video. intro is loud. 1st clip is quiet, then the narration is loud

[@geraldscott4302]

Most of those mods make it worse than stock for a commuter. What the Ruckus really needs to make a good commuter is way more power, at least a 55 mph top speed, and the ability to reach that speed fairly quickly. None of that is possible, so I would chose something else as a commuter.

[@the68special]

nice video (Y)
