TOP 5 Honda Ruckus performance mods [STEP BY STEP]

[@MrStickman666]

I have nothing bad to say about this man and all his videos. It would cost you a fortune to get all this info he gives for free. And ya he probably get cash from youtube but remember he runs a bizz as well . I cant even imagine how long these videos take to do with editing and all the rest of the components involved So keep on wrenching bro love the channel!

[@RollingWrench]

Thanks for the positive vibes 🙏🏻💯. I appreciate you taking the time to write such a positive comment. KZbin can be a very negative place

[@caseG80]

Agree with ya comment except part about making money so sick of hearing people complain about this when anyone can start a channel on any of the platforms. What they don’t realize is the work time and dedication they put into there channels making videos and live streaming are the biggest things in marketing right now everyone should have a channel

Hell yeah love this guy. He's the goat of ruckus.

[@hotruss7630]

CVT tuning I can say is a whole different animal in itself. Lots of variables to choose from (lots of trial and error too). You can even take it a step further by changing the surface angle of the variator and the slot travel of the torque drive.

[@royledford5673]

Not particularly turned on by the Ruckus. The gy6 version is a whole different matter! Interested in 171cc with upgraded cvt. I am assuming (in most states) +50cc's means it will need to pass inspection and be registered to be street legal. OK I'm still on board. BUT--i5 is not unusual for us to put down 500-1000 miles in a 2-3 day weekend. Will a 171 do this trouble free? Is there a problem cruising hiway speeds of 50-55 mph? Thanks for your videos and your input, ya definitely got yer doody all in ONE sock : )

[@sabretech2001]

I watch all of your wrenching/modifying vids, even if I don't have the scoot in question, so a deep step-by-step series would be cool. PS: I second the GY6 mod series, both for the A and B cases.

Love the channel. Great video. Question for you: I bought the polini kit and threw the 5.5 g weights in. I am a heavy guy 230 pounds 6 foot one (ha ha I know what the F am I doing on a ruckus ??). Anyway, I’ve determined the 5.5 G weights are best. Is there any performance benefit buying the equivalent weight dr p sliders ?

[@cornpapbrecht4529]

This is a great video. Wish it was out 2 years ago when I started "playing". To not have to buy things twice, is there a way to advance the timing with the NCY rev limiter?

Please somebody help me with this question. I’m buying a Maddog 150 over the Honda Because it already come extended and with the 150. My question is to add bigger wheels will I have to make any modifications to the wheel hub or brakes. Will the wheels just fit right on??

[@FindShindoHere]

I wish you told us how much these parts were and what exactly you're going to get out of it or I would have been really cool if you did a video that showed before and after after you install these parts individually I know that's asking a lot but it would have been really cool

[@greenarrow2571]

Do you need a motorcycle license if you swap the engine ? Or is it still considered a scooter?

[@matt8445]

Great video. Just bought a ruckus last summer looking to do this level of upgrades without swapping motors or anything. I've seen recommendations on different exhausts mainly yoshimura. Any thoughts?

[@enginnerdedtohoopajoop4604]

looks like the one he showed in the video that is 16mm is an "ssp-g" exhaust and on this guys website is selling it for $215, but its out of stock until June. your question cant be best answered without knowing your budget. that ssp-g exhaust could be the best value for the price but maybe the futomaki is the "best" but costs the most and still is only the smaller 16mm exhaust option so is not the best if you were willing to also buy the bigger carb and bigger exhaust etc etc etc

[@patricksnead8015]

Is there anyway to fit a 139qmb in a ruckus??

[@davidberl901]

The main question here is, can you get to 60 mph comfortably with these mods ?

[@bowillieman]

Not comfortably

[@jediknight1294]

60 on 9" scooter wheels with low budget suspension is never comfortable tbh. 60 should be doable with a 50 and definitely with a 'big bore' kit. A 120 or 125 or 150 gy6 should top out close to 60nph stock and with basic mods you will hit it comfortably.

[@Ethan.s..]

@@jediknight1294 10 inch wheels.

[@jediknight1294]

@@Ethan.s.. the difference between a 9" scooter tyre and a 10" tyre is minimal when it comes to stability at apeed/in corners tbh. A 125cc motorcycle with 15" wheels vs a 125cc step thru with 9/10" wheels thr 15" wheel bike will handle better/feel more stable/planted and be safer/easier to ride at slow and top speed.

[@NOFx420x]

Chinese 50 what would you recommend exhaust wise has a 19mm carb stock mod air box

[@mopedmessiah]

Well, a mod i have on mine is taking a big, long drill bit and drill straight down into the exhaust hole to bypass the baffles inside. Helps it breathe, and isnt the full blast of a straight pipe. Other than that, any 50cc performance exhaust would work. Just mind the mounting brackets, and be prepared to make something up yourself. Jetting the carb will help, and maybe a thinner foam pad or holes drilled into the airbox if you wanted to keep it. Jetting and something with the airbox for sure too. As far as GY6 performance exhausts go, they're mostly all the same unless you're talking about Yoshis or some custom ruckus stuff. Some have baffles, some dont, mostly style and price deciding though

[@jonwright1513]

Hey man new sub here love the videos . I just picked up a ruckus every day I got to spray starting fluid in my bike to get it going .. I cleaned the jets carb everything still the same. If I pull the gas cap off and then put it back on it starts up after starting fluid . The guy I bought it from says it has a gy6 motor .. what I’m asking is what size carb does it have so I can order a new one .. I can post up a video of the motor if easier.. thanks a lot ..

[@RollingWrench]

Is your ruckus a GY6 engine right now or the stock engine? It’s easier to talk on Instagram so pictures can be shared. Find me on there #rollingwrench

[@jonwright1513]

Rolling Wrench thanks for getting back to me I don’t have any Instagram or anything my wife does maybe I can post it up on hers .. the person I got it from says it was a gy6

HELP! Wanna make the right choice please help Matt! is the 157QMJ a DC or AC motor and will a BanJing cdi work on it?? Thanks again man! Great Videdo as usual!
