[@forrestcrabbe]

When I did my gy6 swap I built my own motor mount and it was a 4 inch stretch. Any shorter and the valve cover hits the crossmember. But the handling was great at that wheelbase. I also had a second swing arm and added a second rear shock to the other side of the bike and turned some bushings out of delrin for a super stable rear end. 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘no limits🤘 Edit: I recommend the adapter harness. I scabbed the factory ruckus harness and the gy6 donor bike harness together to make things work. And when I say I built the harness what I mean is my buddy that knows what's up with wiring built my harness and I tried to help a little 🤘bwaahaahaa🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘no limits🤘

My GET died on my Metro, this sounds amazing and fun to do. I'm saving up for my 232 kit now that I know where to find an Actual expert.

[@keithkunik3229]

Hey brother I'm new at this! I bought a piece of junk 2003 gy6 ruckus!! I'm becoming a member and trying this by myself so thank you in advance for explaining everything for dummies like me!! Your the man bro!!

[@wizzdumb_610]

So after I heard you say a 150cc would only get you up to 55-60, that let me know that the struggle wouldn't be worth the payoff, considering I already hit 45 with my stock 2022 Ruckus. Thanks for saving me the time & money!

[@RollingWrench]

No problem :-) GY6 is will have 3 times the torque and power of a stock ruckus. You can get a stock ruckus engine to go 60 mph with mods or a GY6 engine to go 100mph with mods…. Pick your poison. Keep in mind all the numbers I share are a mile above sea level in Denver colorado. We loose 20% of our power at this high altitude. What ever you choose it’s fun stuff!!

[@dinospumoni8860]

My pcx 150 with ncy kit and dr pulley sliders gets 67mph and I weight 290lbs. But people that weight 150ish can hit 75mph so a lot depends on how much you weight.

[@lesheath6216]

the 150 will actually pull you up a hill without you getting run over. even the so called 100cc has no torque compared to the 150. You should probably get more education on the differences between torque and hp before making uneducated comments

[@Winterstick549]

45 on a stock Ruckus?! How much do you weigh? 100 pounds?

[@wizzdumb_610]

@@Winterstick549 I'm about 150ish. But all Ruckus' go up to 45. Or maybe it's more like 43. To be exact. When you push it past the last notch, basically red lining it is 45(43). That's how I would drive it at all times before I sold it.

I saw Australian branded Hunter Scooter and IMHO it beats all Ruckus mods. It is 181 cc, designed as clone and maintain a speed comparable to 200cc motorcycle on Australian roads (max speed limit 100Km/h. The speed, stability, brakes, safety all looks nice and well in proportion. I one of the motorcycle expo (forgot when and where but in 2023 or 2024, a complete ruckus mod by Honda on display. (I think it may have cost them over 10K. This piece of art would probably go on display in museum eventually.

[@ManuelGutierrez-be1ci]

So if I already have a parts bike that runs and has the 150cc gy6 motor I should only need the motor mount and then decide if I want to stretch it or not.

[@seanmccarthy7760]

sounds like it.

[@GnomadScooters]

Does this kit only work with ruckus or anything with a GY6 mount? I have a scooter with a GY6 150 QMJ157 and I would like to do a stretch on it with a wide wheel. My scooter has a bolt on right side swing arm as well. Does this kit eliminate that right side swing arm piece?

[@patrickfargie1146]

I'm still wondering how hard it was be to swap a Navi to a GY6..

[@MrJones-ti1gx]

Im STRONGLY considering getting the ruckus. It looks better than the Navi. The only issue is i way 300lbs & that 49cc bike is barely gonna move lol. Im in cali & i wanna avoid having to register it & all that --it. Is there a way to have it look stock from the outside but have better internals 4 more performance? I wanna be able 2 hit 50mph w/o really straining the engine.

Ya it does. It will work with a B block as well. The only time you need to worry about fitment on a B block is when you do big bore kits or a variator.

Hey bro I have a GY6 49cc TaoTao scooter and I transformed it to a 94 CC as you know and I did a lot of mods to the engine so I don't even believe it's a 94 anymore believe it's like a hundred something and anyways I was wondering what else can I buy at your shop like do you have anything for TaoTao is like. Do you have in front tire axle performance one that I could buy for my GY6 TaoTao there's really not a lot of performance parts you can get for the Chinese TaoTao is really frustrating.

The good news is maddogs need the upgrades too. I’ll have all the same upgrades for your maddogs. The point is, if you are gy6 swapping a ruckus, don’t make it a maddog. Otherwise why don’t you just buy a maddog. I have nothing against maddogs, but I do have a lot of issues with some of the parts they use.

What would it cost for gy6 honda Rukkis 150 -200 cc

[@EinarLerschen]

I understand the concept, geological restrictions of parts availibility and business side of fitting a gy6 into a ruckus since those engines are widely available but for a personal project I have a suggestion: fit a horizontal Piaggio engine into that frame?

[@RollingWrench]

You could do it. You would need to fabricate a mount and hub, along with build a harness. It definitely wouldn’t be simple. The real question is why? The GY6 is extremely reliable and the power of a 232cc is great! At around 22hp

[@EinarLerschen]

[@RollingWrench]

The issue is your 50cc mounts from the bottom and the GY6 150 mounts from the top. It can be done if you know how to fabricate. Otherwise you can bore up the qmb139 engine you have. Here is a link www.rollingwrenchdenver.com/products/chinese-scooter-80cc-big-bore-kit

[@Comin_at_U_Live]

It would be way better to do the swap using a Honda Elite ch250 engine . You have a Honda Ruckus, it makes sense to put in a Honda engine...

[@RollingWrench]

You would think. But the stance looks way off and parts are not available for the swap. It would be a lot of fabrication time to figure it all out. The GY6 has a platform already. Most people, if they want all Honda will do a PCX swap. There parts are available for that set up.
