Welcome to my Honda Ruckus Build Series! In this series, I will be showing you the entire process of making doing a custom stretched, slammed, GY6 engine swap Ruckus/Zoomer! I'll cover parts needed, installation tips, mod suggestions and more, but most of all, having fun showing you the choices I make to build a super cool custom Ruckus!
In this episode, Ryan and I install the 171cc Big Bore kit on the Ruckus, run into some issues with the exhaust, fix it with fire, and get this thing back on the road!
HUGE thanks to Ryan from TheRuckShop for coming out to work on this build with me. It's been an absolute blast and it was awesome to learn a crap ton from him about this bike. Couldn't have done it without him and can't wait to have him out here in Austin again!!

[@doorot10001]

I just sat on the toilet 16 minutes and 12 seconds longer then I needed to. 👍

[@motonosity]

+Dakota Glass 😅😅😅

[@dangerousdoggo5465]

so you waited untill you finished shitting, and then started watching the video.

[@youngjeezy8066]

Same 🤣🤣🤣

[@Mc88Flyy]

I’m pooping too!! ☠️🤣

[@aesir112]

If I heard that coming up the street, I would not think it's a ruckus. Like you said man, holy crap!

[@markashd2680]

as your next build you should do a cafe racer.

[@benjaminsjoo9231]

Krook It's not very hard unless you do it from a really old bike.

[@BlizzardHockey4432]

Benjamin Sjöö to make a proper one yeah its hard

[@motonosity]

Thanks for the awesome support every day, y'all!! LET'S TRY TO HIT 10K LIKES!! Thought I'd answer some common questions from the comments. I'll edit this as I see more FAQs. 1. *Speedometer app?* - I'm using DigiHUD Speedometer (Android) in this vid 2. *Why didn't you install the big bore to start with (while the motor was out)?* - Wanted to make sure that there wasn't anything wrong with the motor itself first (helps eliminate root causes of any problems). Also wanted to see the performance gain between the stock GY6 and the big bore and 28mm carb 3. *You didn't need an impact socket!!!1!1!!* - Maybe not, but the main problem was that I didn't have a 1/2" drive socket for the impact gun, so I had to use an adapter. Just caused a lot of rattling and would not allow the impact gun to provide full torque on the socket. I've always used my standard sockets with the impact gun no problem, but for this, after having the drive face come off, I just want to get every bit of punch out of it as I can :)

[@dylanwestbrooks8016]

Motonosity "how hard was it to adjust the timing""

[@monkeywrench7047]

Motonosity can you pin this please and go job on the ruckus

[@kuriakoskast]

Motonosity you need one more thing an aggressive camshaft

[@Deftones445]

Motonosity that sound omg

[@morpar318]

Motonosity Dude that got you to fart rainbows. lol

[@terroldthegreat]

The only reason you would need an impact socket would be if the chrome socket couldn't handle the impact and broke. Otherwise they both will torque the same.

[@Gunshotglory]

Just squint 😂 you’ll be alright. Never had anything but chrome and never had one go boom🎉

[@jacobsheldon8517]

At first I was skeptical about the theme/colors of the ruckus. However, the more I look at it, the more I like it. Great vid

[@p7ayboy]

Those transitions.. lmao.. dope. Can't say it enough. Simple, but clean. Great content Brent, super entertaining.

[@motonosity]

Thanks for the support man! Having fun with those transitions haha

[@FilipSSFilmStudios]

I love how open it is under the seat. Its so cool how well you can see the carb and all the engine stuff going on under there!

[@ShakeNBlake509]

I'm a simple man, I see Motonosity Video. I hit like!

[@motonosity]

+ShakeNBlake BOOM 👊🏻

[@ShakeNBlake509]

Motonosity Wish I could go out and ride 😢

[@Jose1LE]

Motonosity Papi

[@k1ng572]

ShakeNBlake like my comment

[@andrewtownsend4451]

I luv u

[@josephsamsor1698]

I like how less than half of the original ruckus was used in this build

[@willydmankal]

Joseph Samsor he should've bought a used one. he basically bought a brand new one so he could use the frame......

[@SethKingFilms]

Lol he used the frame and the lights

[@motonosity]

+Walid Mankal I've explained about a thousand times why I didn't buy a used one

[@willydmankal]

Motonosity ive watched every episode of this build series and can't recall you explaining it at all. if i did i wouldn't have said anything. no need to be hostile.

[@11protoboy]

Walid Mankal he's not being hostile at all wtf lmao he has explained it a bunch of times

[@williamcarroll5402]

Three Huskies and a Ruckus living a good life

[@masonlaurent8351]

i want more build series! do a track bike or a stunt bike

[@425fiskeboat]

breatherXbreaker agree

[@asheratkinson27]

breatherXbreaker but he's afraid to get anywhere close to balance point on wheelies so i think the stunt bike is a no😂

[@loganmckaveney6360]

breatherXbreaker a stunt bike would probably be better because he could do a lot more to make a stunt bike and make a good build series out of it rather than making a track bike which most bikes like r6's or cbr600rr's come ready to be a crazy track bike

[@x-flight1015]

breatherXbreaker I want a tiny stunt bike build like a kx65 or crf50 ;)

[@imdestructive7624]

CRF50 NEXT PLEEEEASE!!! CRF450R REPLICA PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE

[@htown_n1ck_007]

hell ya a little fiddy stunt bike

[@imdestructive7624]

There are so many parts for crf 50/70s

[@bwheat60]

Yep! It could be Moto Jr's ride when he turns 3!

[@TW0TIRES]

*she

[@bwheat60]

@twotires My mistake. You are correct. They're having a girl. Sorry.

[@rennock7540]

By far fav channel. Dogs Bikes and a cool dude.

[@prex345]

Don't use self check out. You eliminate someone's job by doing so.

[@ThePackBoyz]

P Rex people are never at the registers lol

[@tinybubbles3724]

I was watching the packer game yesterday and I thought to myself if you paint the ball with UV reflective paint you could eliminate all the photographers on the sidelines and the NFL would save millions of dollars and the ball would be centered in every shot. No human could adjust the zoom on the camera the way a computer following a profile can. This will be the next job to see the dull axe of progress. I work in Industrial Automation and this technology has been around for a while.

[@michaelwilliams8660]

P Rex they get paid by the hour so it doesn't matter anyway

[@prex345]

And when we allow all jobs to automated, then what? We become useless eaters? What will your children and grandchildren do? Wake up!

[@azeckhd524]

lol stop complaining big dummy, robot's can't do everything, there will always be jobs.

[@kidd0]

Dude that thing looks and sounds so badass! You can tell even from the video that it has so much more pickup with that big bore kit. Nice work!

[@motonosity]

+Brussell512 let me if you wanna try it out man!

[@kidd0]

for sure, I may hit you up haha

[@nickmillsaps6234]

sweet build definetly showed me that a gy6 swap is way easier than the forums lead you to believe

[@AlexLeonard44]

came across your videos cause im thinkin about gettin a ruckus and your video cuts/transitions are on point

[@silentj3419]

That thing sounds dope! Can't wait for tomorrow's video.

[@diogoalves2291]

Do a Atv for the next build series like a small yamaha warrior 350 or whatever you like more 😉

[@CODFREAK159893]

Honestly I think it would've been worth it to buy the whole set of sockets. You never know what you'll need in the future

[@thewakz]

If the socket didn't break he has no need for impact sockets. Impact sockets don't make your impact gun stronger, they are just tougher sockets.

[@ts6640]

@@thewakz Totally. They might send a few shards of shrapnel your way if they break but they will not give you more tourque

[@DashCamExtrodinaire]

Hey Moto! Just wanted to let you know that I really have enjoyed watching you're all build series videos! I don't live in the world of riding nor do I have any knowledge of bikes but, it has been awesome seeing you built a ride form the ground up! Keep up the great work my dude! Stay safe and congrats on having a new family member join you and you're wife soon :)

[@motonosity]

+DashCamExtraordinaire DCE Thanks for always supporting dude! Doesn't go unnoticed :)

[@scooterboy304]

very good video bro.your like the only persons that will go in detail on everything you do on your ruckus and show progress in real time.watch you every week.keep up the good work man.

[@zacharygay7598]

I've said this a ton but I'll say it again I'm in love with your ruckus...😍😂

[@matari7407]

Dude that sound is SICK!!!

[@wheelspinner20]

I use the speedo app. It's awesome. Try hitting the HUD feature and lay it on your dashboard in the car..... It reflects the speedo reading off of the inside of your windshield and its an instant Heads up display! Really cool!

[@ianthomas3653]

Never thought i'd say these words, but....Thats a cool scooter.

[@franzb69]

on the 150 you were still probably using the diaphragm type carb, that carb gives a delayed response on the power. with the d type piston carb that you have installed, that gives almost an instant response in power and that's why you have such a difference in feel in the motor.

[@joshlangton6936]

love your stuff man don't ever stop being yourself

[@dustida]

transitions are super clean

[@davidsquarepants1256]

thats a cute little piston 😊 the cool thing about a ruckus is its drag racing ready, it's got enough clearness to swap to a 450 or 250 engine,

[@realsmokey11]

Props to Ryan!

[@SECTION_Y2K]

This is quality content. KZbin has done right by leaving this in my recomended. 😃

[@motonosity]

+Ludwig Roets preciate that man 😀

[@SECTION_Y2K]

Motonosity No worries. You earned one more subriber. I will be tuning in to your future content

[@jamesbid123]

Perfect excuse to Procrastinate on my exams 😂✌️👌 Keep them up

[@faisal3398]

LS swap it

[@axellbt]

Bruh

[@Dannyyzeee]

i LS swapped my 49cc weed whacker best choice i've ever made

[@mikaelsant7980]

LS swapped my razor scooter beat every 5th grader in races

[@TruckinDipper]

dude that thing is sick and so is the key tag thanks

[@carmane2894]

Why did you not put the big bore on when the motor was sitting on a bench and easily accessible to swap stuff on? Seems like a lot of extra work this way

[@QaussieMoto]

So I'm loving the ruckus dude.... sent the link for yesterday's video to my mum too - she loves it 👌🏻👌🏻 Looking incredible, love the exhaust too hahaha. Congrats on building an absolute weapon!

[@motonosity]

+Qaussie Moto Thanks a lot!

[@brayvdb2191]

Not having to wait a whole week is so satisfying, good job ;)

[@jonast.5438]

just waited for this video. Now i can sleep well (after i watched it). Greetings and good night from Germany !!!

[@aidantaylor4149]

Man I like the honda ruckus because they are so simple

[@bennicolson9370]

Personally not a huge fan of the Honda ruckus but they look like a blast to work on and I have really enjoyed watching the build

[@microsoftservice3835]

Yamaha aerox would be unique in usa

[@jamesburke8348]

Chinese scooters have better brakes, e.g. disc brakes

[@rayganadamson2005]

Motonosity you are my favorite motovlogger, love the build series, I was here for crf as well and love how motivated you are on the build series!!!

[@Motonion]

Runs like a boss mate.

[@joshuablack8422]

Hell yea yall saw the falcons game in the background. We going to the super bowl babyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@motonosity]

+Joshua Black Congrats :) please beat the Patriots lol

[@joshuablack8422]

Motonosity Oh don't worry we got this

[@kodykent]

Those transitions are cool af

[@DimstTalon]

Got yourself a new local fan!~ Love to support seeing stuff come out of austin. Didnt realize you guys were from there until the last video when i saw the Marco's pizza box.

[@jzehren11]

Seeing this series really makes me want to build another Ruck! UGHHHHH

[@burnoutbobby]

Justin Zehren you should and get off that grom nonsense

[@jzehren11]

I love my Grom though! lol

[@husky701rider9]

Now it needs a turbo.

[@loganmckaveney6360]

Ian Jacob cant forget the nos

[@x-flight1015]

Logan Mckaveney supercharger?

[@kylethetreekat840]

X-FLIGHT101 doesn't make enough power to turn one 😂

[@matthewframe6616]

When your Ruckus is boss and you ain't afraid to show it...

[@Purpose_Bilt]

Real Mechanics can find the 17mm.... It's the 10s we have an issue with. good vids man. enjoying the build series.

[@christian_reza]

daaamn your editing skill getting better and better. thumbs up

[@CamPayneCam]

Nice work fellas!

[@xtryhardx1234]

the amount of water that will get in the exhuast when it's raining though looool

[@motonosity]

+FLOCK Gaming I just won't ride in the rain lol

[@xtryhardx1234]

problem solved. but i would still ride that sexy beast in the rain regardless.

[@Theruckshop]

FLOCK Gaming in Florida we ride in down pours not by choice but it happens and never an issue

[@CarlosCastillo-ki8tw]

I just subscribed to your channel and have found myself following this ruckus build! Awesome job man! Your blog is very cool and can't wait to see the upcoming videos. Make them as long as you want, they're entertaining and informational. Thumbs up buddy!

[@DaLegendaryTruth]

Damn you are all so fast.. HERE!!!

[@curtisd3647]

and yes.. the first attempt um.... was ALOT of fun..

[@CyberDunk2077]

i like the seat. looks like a big flat loaf of bread! nice

[@turtlebone]

Sorry about the Pack Show, bro! Noticed this was filmed during the game. That big bore kit sounds great and looks like it's a lot of fun! At least your day ended on a high note! 😎🐢☠

[@motonosity]

+turtlebone Yeah that ride made things hurt a little bit less lol

[@tylerchambers8959]

I didn't finish my paper in class because I was watching your live stream 😊😂

[@michaelblencowe4241]

Looks like a fun little bike

[@bretvik2000]

highlight of the day!

[@lunargentleman3750]

Impact sockets are just made of a more malleable steel... standard chrome ones are a bit brittle more likely to break from impact guns... that being said I have used standard ones for years and never had a problem. It doesn’t matter to much what ones you use in the grand scheme.

[@lucasduarte50]

Hey man, the motorcycle looks really good!

[@DoRC]

The only bad thing you'll get from using a non impact socket is a broken socket. Really wont change how tight the bolt gets.

[@shadowsgarage6812]

iv watched all ur vids ur the reason I'm building my go kart of course gy6 swapped look forward to morw

[@Venis-Pagina]

1:45 UH OH GLO UP DAT LIGHT THO

[@MatureVoltageGroup]

Stayed up all night to watch this! (I live in Sweden)

[@motonosity]

+K. Dot dude, MVP. Thanks for being so patient!

[@darrenarnold7361]

Looks good motonosity 👍🏻 can not wait until your next build

[@Coda5610]

That seat looks like a loaf of bread!

[@anonymouscommenter6419]

Imagine a ruckus with a 200cc engine and carbon frame 😍 it would be super fast !!

[@CodyJv]

my 49cc with a big bore kit 75 does 43mph. you should be able to get something close to 55 and faster

[@EbolaSquirrel]

you can't big bore a 50 cc ruck engine,whatcha got?

[@azeckhd524]

I personally don't really like the look of it (it's not my type of bike so that's why), but when you ride on it and we get to see it from the rider's view, man it looks sexy, so damned low to the ground too!

[@motonosity]

+Azeck HD I know! It's kinda crazy how low it is. Never ridden anything close to this haha

[@motomomof5n92]

i love the ruckus build

[@jcast25]

DigiHud is the way to go, I've been using it for a while and the accuracy is better than any of the other apps I've tried to use.

[@loganmckaveney6360]

You should do a stunt build on like a 650 or something for the next bike

[@robdog300]

Thank you for FINALLY getting an impact socket, I'm ashamed of how much it bothered me to see you using regular sockets on the impact

[@insertname6143]

You can have the fins on the engine cut like and old school Knucklehead. It should hide the fact that the top fin is broken.

[@elpelon96]

a good Idea is to stake the nut so it won't back out

[@ivank6142]

the first dog looks like dan when he's confused :D

[@KCbuffalo]

All I can focus on is the sound of the valves haha.

[@larky6201]

fresh top end, hard bed in for the win 😂

[@johnaustin6649]

Daily 100 on the Ruckus!

[@reallunacy]

Just a heads up, most auto parts stores sell individual impact sockets.

[@xCyBoT]

"r26b rotary swap next week guys"

[@aengus.l]

transitions are sick bro, keep up the vids 👍

[@daltonwilliams6297]

Do a cafe racer build, get a old bike and rebuild it into a perfect cafe racer would be sick

[@boomstickbelgian2775]

nice break in procedure man haha

[@GamingCrazy]

Your ruckus looks amazing ❤

[@haikalhaziq3899]

you need a retro helmet to go with the ruckus

[@brianmccann666]

👍

[@gingerrider6305]

Love the vids but your neighbors must love you

[@strokedyamaha3746]

That rubber piece is called an O-ring, utilizing gasket maker on the intake to cylinder head joint is a bad idea. The gasket maker upon tightening can be forced into the opening of the port causing blockage, be it small that it is, it can still cause air turbulence in a bad way.

[@TheInja]

"Thats freakin bonkers" -Motonosity, 2017

[@franzb69]

you guys probably haven't messed around with the head yet. port and polish the head, you're gonna get more performance outta that thing some more.

[@TheSkarus]

I had the issue on my Ruckus where even after MASHING the nut onto the drive face it would come lose. It would start and run fine without the CVT cover on but once replaced it would make terrible grinding sounds and the whole assembly would come lose. Never figured out the issue and paid a shop to fix it. :/

[@qhevi4163]

now u need to find some ruckus homies

[@motonosity]

Seriously though! I've only ever seen one custom Ruckus in Austin, but I know there's gotta be more.

[@qhevi4163]

lol tru

[@keifferdoyle6595]

You should get some off-road lights that are small so its brighter

[@curtisd3647]

the atop big kite idea... um.... hehe, maybe laterwait, theyre 1970's hang gliders..., hmmm, scooter weight plus airfoil winspan… and also ramp angle and speed...you guys but the coffee tomorrow

[@Mopar_Turtle]

MAKE THE NEXT BUILD A BUSA!
