Trying to get a few more mph out of the GET motor on my 2018 Honda Ruckus. An install and speed test video of the Stage 1 Kit from The Ruck Shop which includes the NCY CDI, the Pollini variator, and 5.5 gram variator weights.

Ken, you can pick up some speed with a polini belt and a mix of rollers or sliders.. Start with your 5.5 gram and add a 6.0 every other slot.. 3 5.5g and 3 6.0g .. Heavyer roller's or sliders will give you more speed.. Im running 3 6.0 & 3 6.5 Dr. Pulleys and she moves.. ALSO here's one of my best tricks.. Put a 9/16's chrome washer on your shaft between the engine and Variator.. This will force the Variator open for more speed.. and washers are cheep. 😂 Brian

Ken, thank you making these videos and giving it your best. I’m not an expert mechanic either and seeing you make a mistake is one I don’t need to make myself. Sorry the parts only got you 2 mph but I appreciate it all the same.

I've installed the same kit from TRS and I can confirm about a 3mph increase. Also noticed that the bike can keep the top speed longer on up hills. Great video.

How’s it running now?

I must have hit the Ruckus “lotto” then. Today going to work I got to 40mph without full throttle and the engine sounded fine. Flat road with a slight headwind. For reference I’m 6’3” and 200lbs.

It’s now two of my riding buddies that have gotten non running Rucks and I’ve got them going for them. So far I’ve also noticed that the Polini variator kit hasn’t really made any significant difference, they both have them. I’ve got a Yamaha Zuma and leave most Rucks in the dust for a few hundred bucks of mods, two strokes were the best. Good luck.

Great video you can tune off the weights and rpm with a tach.

@Winterstick549 3 ай бұрын

The major difference I experienced with the Stage 1 kit was quicker acceleration. My top speed may have gone up a smidge. If you live in a hilly area I highly recommend the Stage 1 from TRS

@Smallbore2wheels 10 ай бұрын

Do you have a tach laying around? It'll be a bit easier to tune once you can match rpm to the speed based on whatever rollers/sliders you use. And with the Rev limiter removed you gotta make sure you don't float the valves

I don’t understand why everyone remove the kickstart lever. Anyway I have the 2024 Ruckus and run 43 mph stock on flat. I’m 5’8” tall and weigh 250lbs. Good video bro. Hi from NJ

Had my ruck for a few years and never had to kick start it lol. Have an ankle biter now.

Yeah I’m the same height but weigh a bit more than you, I had my 2024 ruckus at 42mph, bought it at 169 miles, now it’s got 3k miles now, now it’s running slower possibly cause of the variator weights. But I’ll check it out tomorrow. Got big roadtrip plans with the ruck next year. Love the scoot

@Slo49cc I weigh 275 and losing, but are you saying the Stage 1 slowed yours down? I live at sea level and flat land.

I think a front windshield for better aero is really a better investment. A lower seat frame will also stop your chest being so exposed.

@wildeninja2836 2 ай бұрын

I’m at 52 mph with this kit and other mods and weight/ jet tuning with the 49cc engine lol. You can just run it open instead of taking the kick start off every time. GET A TACH!

Not to mention using the kicker extends your starter motor life.

If you're swapping motors, why go with a Gy6 when you can get a Minarelli clone? I know CA is basically mandatory life-imprisonment for smog violations, but you're already doing a (probably) illegal swap using a Gy6. I bet with $700, or a gallon of CA 91 octane, you could get that thing around 60mph with a Minarelli. Or just swap the Ruckus out for a Genuine, job done.

91 only burns cleaner it doesn't do anything at all for horsepower

@SpankMyFace 2 ай бұрын

@@SeanRandall-fx9hk Incorrect. You can run more aggressive compression ratios, which increases power. You can also run more aggressive timing, which increases horsepower. But if you throw high-octane fuel into an engine that hasn't been tuned for it, it won't do anything apart from avoiding pre-detonation.
