WHAT PARTS MAKE A 49CC FAST - HONDA RUCKUS -

[@burkleywoods9675]

Let me start by saying I am relatively new to your channel as well as others, i’ve learned that some is more important than others, Bobby I find your channel very informative.I am an O” G who is dealing with cancer and is using the 2019 ruckus to keep my mind off my illness. Could use some sound ideas that would give me a bit more pep and uniqueness without doing a bunch of modifications and breaking the bank. Mainly a bit more speed and takeoff. It seems to me that Honda has made a good product and I would like to make the most out of this scooter. While I have the opportunity , would really appreciate your help.I figure the ruckus is rugged and durable and may even outlast me but I want to have some fun while I am able. I have a car, but as you may know it gets kind of dull driving around locally. Like I stated from the beginning really appreciate what you are doing and keep up the good work. Motor team

[@burnoutbobby]

Thank you for the kind words and I wish the best to you with what you are going through. Make the best out of everything you can! I would do a polini variator and ncy cdi first and help get a better take off and top end.

[@burkleywoods9675]

Appreciate your speedy response, and thanks again, will get right on it.

I live in Vancouver and I've been looking into getting a Ruckus, for the looks, mods, reliability and of course parking. Parking Downtown Vancouver is a nightmare...I can literally park this inside my jobsite when I go to work. I cant wait to get one! I subbed! When I get IG setup again in the near future I will follow you on there! Great videos man!

Awesome when you do let me know on ig. I’ll add you. You’ll love the ruckus!

I saw some construction worker guy on a ruckus today. I want my own. I'd love it to commute to work. Huge gas saver. And I love how small it is compared to an SUV. Cars a complicated mess to maintain and fix.

Yes and stock they get 109 miles per gallon

So I had a 2012 Honda ruckus bought it off some guy to put it on the kickstand and then revved up as high as you could go and knocked it off kickstand and it messed the motor up somehow someway I don’t know I didn’t look too much into that I just bought a 2009 motor with a Dr. Golden pulley 5g slider weights sock belt 85 main jet in the carburetor a cold air intake NYCCDI smaller tires and it would run 63mph down hill 54 on flat.

[@northjerseykevin3915]

Hi thanks for the video. What variator do you recommend? Polini or NCY. From what I’ve read Dr Pullys is the way to go. Do you agree. Thanks very much

[@burnoutbobby]

Polini is probably the best variator out there. Dr pulley is the brand of weights that everyone uses in them. We used to sell ncy but they don’t perform and we couldn’t give them away for free.

[@HectorR906]

You said you’re not a fan of the blue and white Polini springs? Do they hinder performance or is there an application where they are useful?

[@burnoutbobby]

HectorR906 for the Ruckus they hinder the performance. I wouldn’t recommend it unless your looking for mid range and not top end

[@DyLemmaOG]

I just want better hill climbing with a stock ruckus, heavier or lighter variator weights? I'm not worried about top speed 40-43mph is fine for me I just don't to be able to keep that speed or not lose as much up hills. I'm very lightweight, 135lbs.

[@burnoutbobby]

Lighter weights will get you better up hill speed. Like 5.5g for you.

[@Tyler_Durden987]

GREAT video and even GREATER advice! It's about the right combination, not the dollar amount. Not sure if you mentioned it in the vid, but do you know if they changed the jets? I saw the intake and I know those two go hand in hand. Keep it up, man! I love that you're putting out more content :)

[@burnoutbobby]

Tyler Pruitt that one has 38,78 and shim. That’s what comes with tvr intake

[@mikerogers8866]

What did you do to get the launch back? Was it just going back to the stock belt, or did you need to throw in some clutch springs to engage at a higher rpm where it made power? Just curious. Top speed mods are great but as a commuter I want to know how how to launch better and have good mid-range too.

[@burnoutbobby]

If you are trying to launch better and good mid range you can go lighter in the weights. The polini contra spring may help mid range but I would t do clutch springs.

[@mikerogers8866]

@@burnoutbobby right now I'm bone stock other than Polini variator, 6g sliders, and blue clutch springs that engage at 5k. From 0-35 it's a pretty constant acceleration, then takes a bit of time reaching up to max. In nice weather I'm cruising between 39-41. It's hit 45 with a tail wind. 210 lb rider. I have a posh CDI, but not installed yet. I'd really like to just tune the stock carb, exhaust, intake, etc. with the above mentioned parts plus the CDI. Not looking at dropping 500 bucks to go 2 mph faster. Would you recommend the MET gears for someone my weight? It would be a dog off the line.

[@burnoutbobby]

It would be slow off the line with Met gears. You’d have to tune it. Not a fan of the posh cdi. Had lots of issues with those.

So it seems like stock belt seems to be the way to go. I wonder if my Polini Belt is holding me back. I am 6'5" 220 and it seems like the 4.5 gram sliders gets me into the power band, I was hitting the limited fast and going maybe 37-38, got Rolling Wrench CDI and it now pulls pretty good to about 9200-9400, low 40's on the straighta and more on downhills 50 plus. Any opinion on Polini Variator vs NCY Variator with the Telflon coating?

[@burnoutbobby]

The polini is the way to go. The Teflon coating comes off in first couple hundred miles. We used to sell the ncy variator and they performed terribly. We couldn’t give them away for free. Personally use the polini with the oem boss and oem belt.

[@carlo1132]

@@burnoutbobby That sucks I won a NCY Variator and I guess I have to try it. I think I am dialed in on the carb with 38/85, seems to be running good, as good as it can for my weight. My bike came with 2500+ worth of upgrades so I am trying to get it the best I can, I think the belt might be holding it back some as well as the light weights I need for my weight and the hills, thanks for the response.

If it’s free go for it man!

[@northjerseykevin3915]

Thanks for the video. Is it work rejetting / changing air filter if I want to keep stock exhaust? Looking for speed

Best setup opinions? I think I’m about 180 lbs, 2022 ruckus with uni filter, SSP-G exhaust, 38/78 jets, in Tucson at about 2300/2400 above sea level, polini variator with 4&6gram sliders (gonna order 4.5 and maybe try a 4.5/5.5 combo), cheap tach, and rolling wrench CDI with coil and plug. I’ve hit about 48 mph but still get a dead spot around that 5-10 mph. Trying to get up to low to mid 50’s at a safe rpm

[@burnoutbobby]

Is it the 16mm sspg exhaust or the 25mm. What rpm are you at with that mph. Also you say uni filter. Is it a drop in? Actual intake off a hose like trs sells.

[@chrisrosanio9459]

16mm, and before with the NCY variator I had gotten it to 10k on a slight downhill so I backed off a little, but I switched to the polini again with the NCY drive face and that seems to keep my rpm’s down a little also but I have to confirm on the same route to work tomorrow or Saturday. And the whole airbox delete with a 90 degrees hose and uni filter, kind of a diy kit if you will, been thinking of just getting an actual kit specifically made for it since I’m just using some spare coolant hose and hose clamps with it.

[@burnoutbobby]

I’d recommend the tvr kit from trs and use the supplied jets. You should see a difference.

@@burnoutbobby just ordered shortly after my comment haha! I already have those jets in currently so maybe I’ll just add the shim if I don’t see a difference right away, thanks!

[@burnoutbobby]

Polini and belt will help but the big mistake people do is forget to change the drive face as well. I’d put a new drive face on as that also has the belt riding on it and can wear like the variator.

[@Ethan.s..]

The rev limiter is lower on the older ruckus’s. A CDI will help you out more than on a newer ruckus. Top speed is mid 30’s on a stock 2003 because of the rev limiter.

[@burnoutbobby]

03-06 would still do 35-40 out the box

[@Ethan.s..]

@@burnoutbobby the rev limiter is @ 8k rpm on 02-06 rucks. So the benefits of removing the rev limiter is more significant. 8k rpm comes out to about 36 mph with all stock parts. About 4 mph less then on newer ruckus’s with the 8850 rpm rev limit.

[@burnoutbobby]

I don’t know if your rpm is correct. You start floating valves at 10,400rpm so you’d be hurting the motor really bad if you’re at 11k

[@TheWasch24]

@@burnoutbobby I thought the same thing. First I had a Trail Tech Vapor that I could never get to read correctly no matter the connection method. Using another tach now that seems to read steady. Which tach would you recommend?

[@burnoutbobby]

I always use the vapor or tto. On a 49cc you wrap it around the coil 4x and set the gauge to 2ppr. At 200lbs you would need 4-4.5g to hit that rpm unless it’s downhill and wide open. If it’s 11k on the flats I’m pretty sure the rpm gauge isn’t reading right with 5,5.5

Yes the Teflon material fades off after a while. We tested ncy and polini and the polini outdid the ncy. We used to sel the ncy one but once people did the same tests as us they all went polini. We couldn’t give the ncy ones away. After we got rid of the last one. We took it off the site.

Although after a few resets of the NCY CDI, it feels as if I'm getting a rev limit and not reaching my usual top speed on a flat 42 and 49/50 long stretch downhill. Do the NCY cdi's go bad?

My 1p39qmb . I can only get 22mph. Bike is heavy. I'm bout 170. Has stupid flat looking back tire an not sure about what gears or whatever but I put ncy performance clutch an variator an the black spring an used the factory rollers that are like tannish brown. I don't know what they weigh. Any suggestions anybody.pls

[@burnoutbobby]

Change the drive face and weights. The clutch is leave stick until you can get to 40mph range. The belt may be worn too.

I'm 235lbs I have a tao 80cc bbk with naraku cvt 2000k RPM spring what weights would you suggest??

That’s tough call I’d base that off your rpm to mph. And see if they make a roller weight tuning kit

Thank you 🙏

[@jakebates9020]

Any recommendations to get mine to around 50 lol I have 38 80 jets a uni filter a mega horn exhaust polini with 5.5 sliders and a new belt but I seem to have lost about 3-5 mph with the new belt also I’m about 140 puounds

[@burnoutbobby]

You know what rpm your at? That exhaust is pretty big so you may be losing back pressure

[@richyarnell4647]

Hi Bobby, saw your ruckus vid,s I have a 2013 Metropolitan tops 33 mph put K&N filter on top went had stock muffler gutted everything out baffles and all sounds meaner but top end the same was debating on changing weights in the stock variator it,s a daily driver not to many hills what size weights would you recommend it would be great to top out 40 to 45 ,for now i,d worry about trying to hit 50 ish later

[@burnoutbobby]

Did you re jet the carb you will need to. Weights for variator depend on your weight

[@richyarnell4647]

2013 on is fuel injection , not carb, I way about the same as you 160 lbs

[@burnoutbobby]

Rich Yarnell sorry yeah didn’t see you put the year. You can really only play with weights and variatior. I think polini makes a cdi for the fuel injected models so you can do that with a polini variation and find the right weights for you.

[@richyarnell4647]

what size weights would you recommend to start with I,m around your height and about 160 lbs

[@burnoutbobby]

Rich Yarnell the 5.5g sliders did it for me. Between that and the other parts I was able to get that 50mph

[@Jbop9312]

So would you recommend getting a polini variator or just getting the 5.5 slides with the stock variator ? Also I feel like my belt or something in my variator is making noise now like it’s super noisy and it was never like that before.

[@burnoutbobby]

Jbop9312 go with the polini. It has better ramps for the Sliders and the belt side has a better ramp.

So what should I put on a dead sock ruckus to get it to go over 50

[@sternlicht1014]

I’m 165 pounds^

[@burnoutbobby]

So you weigh same as me basically. If the ruckus motor is healthy and not high miles you can do the stage 2 kit like I did in the other video and helped get to 50mph tucking. It takes a little tuning but achievable. Always make sure you do consistent oil changes and that you keep up with maintenance on the plug, drive face and belt.

[@jamesstewart6805]

You should try a mix of 5.5 and 6 gram sliders that's what I ran on my 50cc

[@burnoutbobby]

James Stewart already did it and lost 2mph

[@sid1480]

Me n the fiance are just trying to squeeze out like 6-7 mph more on her stock NPS50 2012 Ruckus. Any direction on what to buy first? I was thinking possibly the polini variator, and NCY CDI box and coil. She currently does about 33-35 mph on flat, would be great to be able to get it to 40. Any help is appreciated

[@burnoutbobby]

I’d do the stage 1 kit from the ruck shop with a new oem belt and ncy drive face. The coil will not do anything for you with these small cc bikes

[@Winterstick549]

​@@burnoutbobby What is the Drive Face? Does the Ruck Shop sell it?

[@burnoutbobby]

Yes it is the opposite side of the variable that the belt rides on. We sell the oem factory one or aftermarket ncy.

Ncy is lighter and a bit steeper ramp to it to help build rpm

Hello! Just installed my polini variator with 5.5 Sliders. So with that and the cdi I seem to be hitting 39 maybe 40. Shouldnt I be expecting around 48? My bike and brand new 160 miles and im 165 pounds.

[@burnoutbobby]

You won’t see 48 unless you are tucking and have intake and exhaust as well. With cdi and variator you should see about 43-45 tucking. Make sure the guides are installed right in the variator. Also I’d do an oil change. Honda overfills the scooters from the dealership. Last make sure the tires are at max psi

[@P20588]

@@burnoutbobby Thanks again. I'll do a oil change. And tires and give it a try. I'll post results

[@burnoutbobby]

PristineGreen ol because 5.5g sliders work best for me and I’m 160 and with the belt being new the bike should be moving in that mph range. Know it may take a quarter of a mile to get that mph tucking. But it will happen
