great freaking vid!! gonna be using this info on my ruckus! ill tape the mods too!

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Great! Glad it was useful. Keep me posted on the progress :)

[@MRCALIEMS]

How the mods coming?

[@wileecoyote5749]

unfortunately he was found dead

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Sorry to hear that

[@trentmckee2250]

Son weighs 150lb and he's going 55 with a buried speedo..no drafting cars or downhill. I weigh 200 and almost get to 50 on his. We've done all your mentioned mods before seeing your video (thorough and good btw #thumbsup) with the exception of NO aftermarket CDI rev limiter bypass and we only modded the STOCK exhaust by drilling it straight through to open the internal baffles with a 1/2" wide 2ft long drill bit. Spending $300 on a yosh pipe was ridiculous and modding the OEM muffler works just fine (and sounds good too). Amazing how you can go 50+ on a 49cc bulletproof GET engine.

[@silas.anderson]

can you maybe take a video or picture of the exhaust? for me the yoshi pipes cost $700 ish where i live so its a big no for me. i really want to do something like that to my exhuast but want to hear and see what its like.

[@krusher74]

Weight is about acceleration. if you are on flat ground then the thing holding you back are aerodynanics and tyre friction. Its basic physics.

[@MRCALIEMS]

Definitely need a video of how to, on the exhaust!!!

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Another thing I forgot was “check your tire pressure!”. Sounds silly but I rolling around with 15psi and as soon as I aired up my tires I gained 4mph! Lol

[@ce5614]

Small Engine Velocity if i adjust or turn off the rev limiter.. what happens? My stock Ruckus has a speed warning signal that blinks everytime I reach the speed of 40

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

I wasn't aware of a speed warning light. Is that what it is called in the manual? But regardless you won't "feel" your bike lurch at the rev limiter but rather go past it. Just make sure to have a tach and you can look at it to make sure you are safe.

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

I asked around and is the light red? If the light is red that is your overheating light!

[@MrBetonator]

CE 56 yup overheating light, i believe the ruckus goes into limp mode when that happens

[@ce5614]

Small Engine Velocity the light is red.. and below it says, SPEED WARNING. It only blinks when I reach speed of 40 then turns off as soon as I slow down. Really, overheating? It doesn't blink at all even if I go 30 consistently the entire ride

[@thesilent6915]

I’m about to buy a ruckus next week so I’ve been looking for everything so I can learn what I need to

[@17clon2cwr]

I wish I could just take my bike to the mechanic and say “here I want it to go faster, just don’t remove the motor or alter the bikes general appearance. Basically Remove any limiters, or unnecessary components, and ad whatever cant be seen without taking the bike apart. I don’t want to be speed racer, I just want to maintain 40-45 like the rest of traffic.

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Why not? I would do it , it’s not super hard and expensive. Buy all the parts and meet me at my shop lol

[@my50bike]

Great Video thanks - just started messing with these bikes and really enjoying them.

[@jmikew417]

I have a 2023 Ruckus and all I've done so far is install a polini variator with 5.5g Dr Pully sliders. My top speed is 42 mph. I live in a small town, so once I hit my high speed I run out of street.

[@meadorsd8961]

I agree. you know your stuff. I did exactly what you said. All at once however and not in any particular order I do 50mph and a consistent 44mph if the wind is an issue. you forget to tell them they will blow up their engine at 10.5k rpms they need that tach before a ncy cdi so they don't rev past 10.5k rpms an blow their engine. 8750rpms to 10,000 rpms means 5-7 mph increase I agree that ncy cdi comes last but a tach is very important and the only thing I would change about your video is tell people how important a tachometer is.

[@MRCALIEMS]

So what’s point of tach ? Does it stop from blowing engine or just tell u your going over ? New to the whole scene definitely don’t wana blow my brand engine 😂

[@DannyBeigal]

Pretty good list and explanation. I'm surprised you didn't mention the belt. It's also important in my opinion. You want one long enough to travel pretty high on the variator. Also, if you're not a lightweight rider 170lbs or under, I cant say I would recommend the polini or the weight sizes setup you recommended in the vid.

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

You know a gates belt was suppose to be in there but I forgot to write it in my notes but you are right it’s very important

[@nojnoj3069]

Thank you guy. This is easy to understand mods we can all do.....

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Thank you :) let me know if I can improve anytime

[@paulhogan2389]

I understand the concept of increasing the ability to take in more air and of course the necessity to increase its ability to exhaust. And of course the proper fuel air ratio is necessary. The whole idea of improving performance with an internal combustion engine is the ability of course to control combustion and at the same time being able to ignite that cylinder as close to top dead center as possible. So in order to ignite that fuel as just coming up on its compression stroke ready for combustion you going to have to allow this thing to have proper air intake and proper air exhaust proper fuel delivery. That's the song of develops Heat through compression the closer it gets to top dead center the more chance of pre-igniting that fuel before the desired time. That's how we get into the octane of the fuel the higher the octane of the fuel the more resistance the fuel is to pre-ignite due to heat through compression. Things like two step colder spark plugs high octane fuel 100 octane let's say.. somehow the ability to cool the fuel or cool the air which comes into the cylinder. I know with superchargers you would use an intercooler because the supercharger does compress the incoming air which creates friction and the air is heated. And then you get into the situation where the cooling water for the intercooler is limited by the ambient temperature the temperature outside. So you would want to artificially be able to have the ability to maintain a specific temperature of the cooling water maintaining a specific temperature of the incoming compressed air. Needless to say the best option on your scooter would be to somehow cool the fuel. I'm used to cars mustangs whatever but the thing is how do I advance the timing if I so choose to do so on my stock hunger ruckus. Apparently these ignition modules or whatever are predisposed no two cars are the same so if I'm going to essentially Dyno my Honda ruckus I'm going to need the ability to make subtle adjustments that will not be the same as the same subtle adjustments that would be made on yours. I can guarantee you if there was some way to put a supercharger on a Honda ruckus fuel injection proper exhaust and a few other things you should be able to nearly double the horsepower. I don't know what the loss of horsepower is due to the drivetrain I know like on a mustang 4.6 V8 you're going to lose 15%, so whatever it is at the flywheel minus 15% is what you're putting down on the road. Now you can apply these methods of supercharger and fuel injection and opening up your air intake opening up your exhaust and limit the engine. The reason why you would want to limit it is because you want to make the engine efficient with some speed gain power game but you don't want to overextend the internals of the engine and blow it up you're going for efficiency not maximum output. Personally if I could modestly increase the horsepower of the engine and modestly increase the output of the drivetrain my desire would be 55 miles per hour I should be able to also increase the fuel economy. And here's something for you. Internal combustion engine fuel it is not exactly efficient and your basic car you might get $2 worth of energy that cost you $5 and the rest is incinerated by your catalytic converter. Emission systems attempt to gather some of the unburned gases and report them back into the cylinders generally this is a dirty engine concept and as far as I'm concerned with affect the overall longevity of the engine. So venting crankcase gases to atmosphere ie.. through an oil can collecting the oil from the crankcase vapor and then to atmosphere because you don't want to make a mess. So now we ask yourself how do we increase the engines ability to burn the fuel more completely well that's what we've been doing the whole time by modifying the air intake the fuel delivery the engine exhaust and the advancement of timing. The next logical step would be the introduction of hydrogen in small amounts that will assist the engine in a more complete burning of fuel. Does anyone know of some handheld tuner that could be used on a ruckus to be able to adjust those variables and create a tuning program. Like I said the necessity is the fact that two engines are not exactly the same yes you can put appreciate tune flash it to the computer whatever change the chip whatever but that's not the right way to control combustion and it could lead you to disaster. Thanks a lot let me know. [e-mail]

Thanks for the tips! I have all those mods except for the variator and rev limiter. Getting around 42 tops. Excited to add the others and see the results!

[@KyleAndersonSkates]

I've done everything in this video aside from the CDI and my max speed so far has been 48.3mph (130lb rider). CDI will for sure be the next power mod I do since i'm bouncing off the rev limiter the whole time.

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Wow if you get 48.3 with stock 8600 RPM your are golden sir when you get the CDI

[@xandermav]

I am about the same weight and was wondering what gram sliders you have in. Anyway other way I can contact u with questions please it would help a lot.

[@evanhunterblbier]

Great video. Just installed the NCY CDI and Drive Face and Polini Variator. I’m running the lighter stock weights and I jumped up from 40 mph to almost 45.mim 165lbs and the rev limiter seems to only be hitting 8600. Rest of bike is stock, is that what I should expect?

Good tips, im trying to get max mph out my GET without getting a CDI (not comfortable with revving past the limiter) at the moment im doing 45 on speedometer,probably 43 on gps) currently im running MNNTHBX Exhaust, Uni filter intake, re jetted to 38,85 with shimmed needle, and polini variator with 5.0 sliders, planning on getting 5.5 sliders and replacing belt to hopefully get me higher :)

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

that's a smart move if you ask me :) GET what you can get out of the GET and then do a CDI. Just make sure to get a tach because once I hit 10k rpm hitting 50mph and I got scared of valve float. Keep it up !

[@MrBetonator]

Small Engine Velocity yup already got a tach and i already hit the rev limiter, im just trying to lower my rpms to squeeze more mph thats why im stepping up half a gram, and yeah thats the reason why i dont think ill ever get a CDI im too afraid of getting valve float or blowing up the engine

[@DylanDr1pDr0pWilhelmi]

Ive got no limiter with 16 thousand miles on it. I have hit 11,000 rpm. It doesnt care. Like at all. Done a 6 hour 200 mile group ride without a single issue. Trust me, the motor is indestructible.

I am fortunate to have very close to burn out Bobby who works at the RUCK SHOP. in Zephyrhills FloridaAnd with that said hopefully he’ll help me out and get me going with the things that I want to do including going from a to head to valve head to a four valve head.

I just had a quick question on Jets... I was curious what jets you recommend running? I have a 2020 Honda ruckus and the only mods I’ve done is a and NCY-CDI box, and NCY coil, NGK iridium splug, 5.5 sliders and a trail tack. I live at 5200 feet and about 160 pounds. I want to put a high flowing air filter(a K & N) in my stock airbox but when I do it seems to flow too much air and ran to lean. Also after installing the NCY-CDI box and coil I thought it would help it run not so rich here in Denver, but not really. So if I run the stock air cleaner it runs slightly rich and if I run the aftermarket air cleaner(K&N) it runs to lean so I’m curious what jets you recommend?

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Up your stock 75 to a 78 and your slow to 38 that should fix the issue with the k&n

Great question and here is MY reasons. To start I do own a Grom Clone so I do use it when I ride around with my squad. I did spend around 400-500 in parts to get to 45-50 but for me it was the challenge. Also the ride of the ruckus is much different and more comfortable for me in a commute situation. I ware slacks and dress shoes to work and sitting in a chair like bike works it better. I am fortunate to have both types of small bikes but because I got this ruckus on a great deal. I’m glad you enjoyed it :) let me know if there are more kinds of videos you would like to see.

Just hoping to make a ruckus a little bit quicker to get to and from work and even some food deliveries here and there. Cause I do not wanna be going 37 mph on the roads here. The drivers are crazy and the speed limit is 50.

[@jovenpalermo2004]

pnoy kb?

[@ST-zh9ig]

What kind of CDI.

[@mattmccarthy9721]

What type of fmf are you running on the ruckus?

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

You know I am unsure. It came with the Ruckus when i purchased it. Ill see if I can find markings on it

[@mattmccarthy9721]

thank you! let me know!

Thank you sir :)

[@davidbinion2016]

good words thaks for your help

[@culcune]

Is the engine the same as used in the Metro?

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

culcune the metro and the ruckus are almost the same thing. They both use the same GET engine so for the most part what’s in here will work on the metro. Not 100% sure about the CDI though...

[@culcune]

I was just curious because I work at a restaurant as a side job on the weekends in downtown L.A., and I ride either a Metro or a SMax for deliveries. The Metro gets between traffic due to its size, but that is all it is good for...otherwise it tops out at an indicated 32 mph. I was not too comfortable riding the SMax around and through L.A., but have been riding that more and more because it gets the job done much quicker. Unfortunately, I have no say so over touching either scooter's engine, but I was curious as to the engine in each bike because as far as carrying insulated bags on the floorboard making deliveries, it appears the Ruckus has more floor space. I have been trying to convince them to buy a TGB Express because of the enormous box, but it falls on deaf ears...

[@DannyBeigal]

depends what year Met you are talking about. Newer Mets (2014+) have a different motor and are fuel injected.

[@DirtRider22a]

culcune sounds like it’s not the metro but maybe the metropolitan 2 which was speed limited from the factory to a slower speed 🤷🏼‍♂️

201st WoOoOo &"B&S"exhaust on eBay(on KZbin)$105.00 out the door manufactured by small Ma & Pa shop, listen here Rucker's you no longer have to pay the mere $300.00 to $500.00 for an exhaust system.The"B&S"exhaust does provide the greater air flow+throaty tones which we are all looking for,not to mention this exhaust cuts the weight of the bike by any other custom exhaust out there by far at this current moment in the market so I implore you to go check it out & No I am not an affiliate of"B&S"just a satisfied country bumpkin customer saving a lot of money but not cutting performance, if you choose that route 🛵🛵🛵

@@SmallEngineVelocity It's simply on KZbin,all you have to do is type in"Honda Ruckus B&S exhaust"on the search bar. P.S. look up the review under the"Brandon Ryan"Channel different reviews will pop up but the best review is the"Brandon Ryan"Channel.

Without doing modifications or anything, just fill her up with aviation gas . 100% will go faster period.

[@thesavoyard]

Lol jp4 is closer to diesel than gas.

[@dominicanadrenaline7708]

I’ve gone thru rollers and sliders and so far rollers got me faster results

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

I just don’t like flat spots after a while on my rollers.

That’s true I ran thru rollers like crazy

[@shaneparker246]

Ya nice tips but I'd say tach first. Imo

[@SmallEngineVelocity]

Ahh I agree! Later I released a video called the “ the very first mod any ruckus runner should do” and it was a tach.

[@Wog68]

Want to go lot faster while keeping appearance of Ruckus? Get Hunter bike from australia. Why not send petition to revive 250cc big ruckus or may be ask for 600 cc ruckus, eh!
