Will you be doing videos on the new 157cc honda PCX? I love your videos!

Nice video. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the specifics of the filter placement in any other video. Thanks for this little bit knowledge.

Replaced the carb on my Ruckus. It was really hard starting and eventually got to the point it wouldn't start cold at all. Instead of rebuilding the carb, picked up a new one for $38 bucks on Amazon. While working on it, I took off the air box cover and filter. Swapped the carb and it start right up and got it to idle smooth. Reeved up fine on the stand. Took it for a test ride and it lost power\bogged out while trying to ride it (just like this video). Took me a hot minute to remember Mitch's video of this issue. Put the air filter and cover back on and it rides like it should. Simple as that. I didn't think having the air filter out and box cover off would produce that lack of power\bogged down effect but it did. Although not directly related to this video, seeing it point me in the right direction. Thanks Mitch.

Any chance of a video of how these "get1" ruckus's stock air hoses are routed? There's only air box delete videos. And none on this model ruckus, not even air box delete I don't think

@LUNARIAproject 11 ай бұрын

I have the similar problem, I purchased a 49cc moped and it can only reach 30 kmh (18 mph) but should go at least 45 kmh. It seems to have power at full throttle but doesn't go faster. My bike only has a air filter pod and no air box. I wonder if there could be an air leak causing this in my bike too. I noticed the rubber seal for the air filter has a crack so I taped it over with electrical tape so it seems tight and it has a metallic clamp over it as well.

Hey I’m a pretty big guy 6’1”200 and I’m looking for a good quality shock that is for a little more weight. I want one that requires no modifications and just remove the old one and drop the other one in . What do u recommend for a good solid shock ? Is this NYC or nay shock worth the money

So basically it created a lean mixture by leaking air around the filter right?

@tamaraflinn1049 Жыл бұрын

Hey Mitch, maybe you or one of your subscribers could help me with an issue I’m having with one of my ruckuses. Sometimes when you turn the ignition on it starts sometimes it doesn’t but it’ll always kickstart. I’ve tried everything and cannot figure out what might be causing this to work sometimes sometimes not.

Hello Mitch, wondering if you had any experience with the temperature light coming on on the Honda Ruckus? I can go weeks or months with no issues and then it will come on everytime I ride. Happens quickly after getting started or can wait 20 minutes. When the light goes on, it loses power, then have to pull over turn off then on again and usually it then runs fine for the rest of the trip. Thanks

Hi, never happened to me but make sure check the coolant level... Have you changed the coolant?

I have power loss too, but I checked the air filter and it seemed to be fine. It will lose power when I throttle it up to the point that it conks out. Any recommendations? carburetor?

Hi Mitch, I have this same problem with a 2009 I picked up with 1200 miles. It was bogging a whole lot, but slightly at full throttle. My air box cover was very warped, so I replaced the air box cover, the air filter and a new spark plug, now its is horribly worse! What did I do? Any suggestions? TIA

@MitchsScooterStuff 3 ай бұрын

Is fuel clean?

@mikeinhoodriver 3 ай бұрын

@@MitchsScooterStuff It is much better now. I changed the fuel, fuel filter, air cleaner, air box cover, spark plug, air tube to carb, jets, and reset the ECU. The last thing left to do, since I have done everything else, is check the timing. Thanks to your videos, I had the confidence to do all these items.

I've got a metropolitan which is the city boy version of the ruckus. I weigh about 220 in spring after gaining winter weight. With my boots, coat, backpack, and a full load of groceries I'm probably pretty close to that. It still runs just fine. Just adjust your suspension and change out the weights in the variator to favor acceleration over top speed. It's a sweet little ride that will last forever if you treat it well. You will love it.
