I changed the variator weights in mine and now it'll do around 45 mph on a flat road.
@thesilent69152 ай бұрын
What size weights you use in about to buy one but I like 220lbs so wanted to know if you knew what weights were good
@Prepare2Survive2 ай бұрын
@@thesilent6915 It's been a while since I put them in so I'm not 100% sure because I bought several different weights to try. I think it's the 6 gram Dr Pulley sliders, but might be 5.5 gram instead. I tried rollers and sliders in different weights and the sliders have a much better power band and they last longer. I only weigh 170 lbs so the 6 gram ones might not be perfect for you. My advice is to just buy a few sets in different weights and try each one for a week or two and see what you think. They are easy to replace, but make sure you get a good spanner wrench, use a torque wrench when tightening stuff and never use an impact wrench. Also tighten the nut by hand first and then turn the variator slightly by hand and then you'll be able to tighten the nut a little more by hand. Repeat that step until you can't tighten it anymore by hand and then use the spanner wrench and torque wrench. You do NOT want to damage that crankshaft so take your time and don't take any short cuts.

That must be a rare thing. A standard ruckus. They are a cute little thing. We only got them in the UK for a couple of years. They were expensive at the time. So extremely rare here. Only seen a couple on the road in the last twenty years.

Nice video and Thank You. At 21:10 when the air filter is going in, be aware of a few things. Only use a genuine Honda air filter, the correct part number. The shape is the same as some Honda generators and mowers and the same as some filters for Briggs or other engines at Home Depot or Lowes. It is not. Also, reuse the metal frame from your original filter. Mostly, be VERY careful to get the plastic cover on correctly. It's almost better to put the filter in the cover and then present it to the base, hold firmly and install the screws. I say all of this as a Honda tech who has a dozen years of experience making a mistake or helping others who have made a mistake with this fine little units air filter. The cover MUST fit properly with the correct filter or you will have a lean condition. Scooter will start and idle but open the throttle and it falls flat on its face. See the video where the guys from Revzilla ride the Ruckus and Zuma and try to modify the air box of the Ruckus for more power...fail. IMO, the belt and valve check could have waited but I like cleaning the rollers and they will flat spot over time and reduce performance. Change Oil frequently! (500-800 miles ish and these will last a very long time. Had a customer with 24K miles! On a Ruckus!)

Mopeds actually last much longer. I had Royal enfield 49cc back in 1980s (in India). This would go like a motorcycle. I was riding to commute on highway and it would go 60km easily (60km speed limits there, yeh, too many people and super crowded). Royal enfield stopped making it long while ago, but I still see them on the road (on you tube video). This little beast would go off road and muddy area in monsoon was no biggie. Never seen such a fuel efficient, dual sport like vehicle again.

I own a ruckus and I can say it does 114mpg but the bigger the rider the lower it will be. I wanna stretch and lower mine with a motor swap but I also think it would be easier just to dump that money into a cbr 600

That’s incredible that it gets that kind of mileage. I wouldn’t mind owning one of these little bikes! I’ve seen some modded Ruckus’s and they look like a lot of fun but yes money would probably be better spent on a bigger bike like the cbr600

Just one small point - but an important one - in an otherwise excellent maintenance movie... ALL Japanese "cross-point" headed screws are likely to be J.I.S. (Japanese Industy Standard) and NOT Phillips #2, as you thought when removing the Air Filter cover. If you own and maintain any Japanese vehicles, then you MUST invest in a few JIS #2 Driver bits - a company called Vessel makes the best range - plus perhaps a #1 and #3 if necessary. The good news is that these driver bits will fit Phillips-headed screws much better than a standard Phillips driver - with little or no "Camming out" under high torques. Of course, you should use JIS bits in the JIS screws on your bikes - and these are identified by the small "dimple" between two adjacent radial "slots" in a JIS screw head. YOU SHOULD NOT USE PHILLIPS DRIVER BITS ON JIS FASTENERS.

It's not a moped in the least bit. People need to quit using the term "moped" for small scooters. Mopeds have pedals.
