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!

Graciously thanks customers at the end. Subscribed!

I've been waiting for this video

Sweet tips! Gonna try it on my ruckus. Keep it up!

I have watched many videos on the ruckus.... and even burnout bobbys.... im not sure the order ive watched these..... but this video if watched completely through is amazing. I have been leaning towards the gy6 swap. But this video really tipped the weights once I finished it...thank you

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.

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

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 :)

Try a YELLOW spring set , it gives you up hill power and top end power along with good take off.

Thanks for the video. Never ridden or owned one yet. I’m looking at a 2015 white ruckus with 3000 miles for 1500 here in Nebraska. I want to do some mods to get it up to the 50s. Someday I plan on having my bud help me with the gy6 swap. I’m wanting it just to cruise a bit and to and from my job

Great vid!!! Do you know how the GY6 compares to the AE05W engine from Sym? On my AE05W, I'm running a destricted CDI from Naraku, Polini variotor with blue spring(dunno the roller weights) and a Naraku clutch with red springs. Only hitting 40mph with this set up.

That was really helpful. Liked and subscribed. Thanks.

Awesome video! I have a stock ruckus and I get about 41 mph. What parts do you recommend to hit 50 mph and still keeping it stock for the most part?

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.

Lol thank you now i kinda regret i put all that stuff on my 50cc gy6

Good presentation of sensible performance advice. I'm an experienced motorcycle/car/aircraft mechanic but never worked on a Ruckus or many scooters. I want one for a campground ride but who doesn't like more power? Subscribed.

I really appreciate you helping my friend carl.. Thank you sir

Is there gain in changing the clutch drum?

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.

Thanks for the great info.

Got to school! Get an education! Ride Scooters! Great video mate

Tune your Ruckus, You da man!

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

I have a Honda metro and it will only hit 25 mph( not a metro 2) it runs great with no bogging. Put Dr pulley sliders 5.5g( yes installed correctly) but that didn’t help at all. Could it be clutch?? I ordered a new belt and will install

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?

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

Let's race them 2 you've been tuning! 😄

You think that will work on my gy6 that's mounted under a retro scooter and do you know where i can get a conversionkit to diskbrakes for the rear?

4.5 Dr. Pulley sliders destroyed my variator. So i put the polini 5.5 grams , it worked beautiful

Got a. Gy6. Chucus 50cc stock. Maddog. So. Rollers belt. An cvt. Will her up. Got a 20mm carb on it am I heading the right. Direction

I have a stock ruckus and im thinking about puting on a polini variator and an ncy cdi. im 6'4 230, any recommendations on weights for the sliders?

nice hat Speed Factor!!!!! i live down the Street from there lol

I changed to polini variator and ncy drive face. I still have that issue with the belt not traveling up the drive face all the way. Is it just the rollers that affect this???

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?

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.

It's nice road trip and nice view

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

Hey is a polini sport clutch worth the money over stock? 09 yamaha c3. I am just trying to hit fitty!

i really like your handle bar set up is there you can name it all ?

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

Can you make a comprehensive list to do the fewest changes and get to 50mph?

Hey, I just got into the Ruckus scene and I can't wait to buy the TRS 9 inch stretch. What setup would you recommend for a 270lb rider?

Which variator weights would work for a heavier rider? Go up in weight for an increase in rider weight or down? I'm thinking down to allow for higher revs at lower speed to reduce zero to 25mph time.

Hey Bobby I wanna put a front fatty on my maddog scooter what you think I need

Hey Bobby Quick question, I purchased the NCY clutch bell. I have a stock clutch, do I need to put the magic spacer? Thank you

dang that's clean

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

Bobby, I got a question. I’m also 160lbs and ride at sea level in Virginia Beach. I’m thinking of getting polini and ncy cdi, would the 5.5g weights benefit me to gain that extra mph? Most roads out here are 45-55 if you take backroads. I don’t want to hold too many ppl up at low speeds. It’s bone stock btw

bro~ , what music ?

Great video THANKS ✌️, looking for a knowledgeable "ruckus mechanic" in N.C. is ,,,,,, 🤔 " tedious"

I really hope The Ruck Shop can help me out now more then ever!!! 🙏

Love that bike

I just ordered a polini variator for my 2019 stock ruckus. It comes with the 5.6 rollers and 6.8 . I am 165ish can someone tell me if I should get a set of Sliders as well will I see a difference in speed between roller vs sliders?

I got a stage 2 kit I need help. I'm new to tuning ruckus.

Do you recommend the met gears over the stock ruckus gears? I have a polini variatior ncy cdi polini belt I think and I think that’s basically it and of course jetted carb and the ruck shop velocity stack

Nice video bro

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

Awesome 👏 i like to make my ruckus to atleast 50 mikes per hour i need your help Bobby ..

Do u even lay pipe bro

If i mix my roller with 4 gram roller and with some 5 gram roller you think my mad dog ruckus will hit 50 mph i am waiting for them to come i do have a 49cc

I gotta a China scoot gy6 150cc the same thing as a Italia r 8 some call it a Zhen and some call it a Roketa 150cc type 125 I got all the mods no bbk and no gears but mine kills most every thing i run against in The San Gabriel valley California and i still want more power a 50cc just wint cut it I hit like 58 mph my next step is to go 170 or 189 bbk with better gearing I went that model to be different but a 50 ain't gonna cut it

Ok,Bobby I have a 2005 stock ruckus what's the first upgrade I should make

Hi, thanks for the video where do you purchase the mod parts? Cheers

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.

Thank you 🙏

Bobby I'm caught in a pickle my push button start don't want to work on my stock Ruckus I tried to find the problem changed out the relay changed out the push button what else is left I don't understand it doesn't have a starter Help Bobby help all coming to no help will be appreciated

Awesome video, question for ya. 200lbs rider, velocity intake, Yoshi exhaust, stock belt, polini vari with mix of 5g & 5.5g sliders. Max speed is 40.4 at 11,000 rpm. I know that’s high , what’s going on here ?

I live in central Illinois and I can't find anywhere to get a modded Ruckus. Is there anywhere you can recommend to buy a custom Ruckus?

Hey Bobby.,,!! I got a Ruckus build coming up that Im doing for myself. Can you email me a parts lest for a GY6 to make it go 65-70mph?

I know this is an old video, just hoping for a response. What’s the trans setup look like for a 350lb guy? I wanna ruckus but am not sure the ruckus will ruckus with me!!!

Cool bud

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

Can you list all the mods done to the bike your riding?

What did it have in it before you stocked it out?

Is it good to put a ncy cdi on the get motor ?

is it legal to swap the engine to a bigger cc? what will happen if i get into a accident and the ruckus its registered as 49cc but im driving 150cc?

Awesome vid wow I have a 2003 ruk with 5,000 mi and I can only get on flat 33-34 mph , filter is clean , changed the plug, and oil , but still nothing,, bought a poling V, hoping to get at least 37-38 , of course where I live ( mostly for work) my longest stretch is maybe 1/2 mile, just a lil irritating when cars are behind me and I'm struggling at 33=34 mph, I hoping polini and new belt helps

I have a 14 Ruck. GET. NCY CDI, Yoshimura, new fuel pump/filter, spark plug, re shimmed, new performance carb from The Scooter Swap shop, TRS Intake kit, red ankle biter plate and lots of other stuff. Have OEM clutch with new belt.. Question: would you recommend the Polini variator over my NCY Teflon (gold) one?

How do I get a hold of this guy? Got some questions...

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

I’m 125 lbs and have been using 5.6 rollers that came with the Polini variator, I hit 43 on flat ground and 46 downhill. Should I go for lighter weights or heavier weights to get closer to reaching 46 on flat ground?

I got pretty much same set up but stock clutch with a polini contra spring shld i go back to the stock 🤔 but no met gears

Lol I have did a burn out on 🏍

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

What’s the parts list where ur gettin 47mph??

So what do I need for my ruckus to make my fast

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

What are the links to get the parts to make my 50cc faster

What is the heaviest rider that you have set up a ruckus for?

Got a question for ya man, what do you think is the fastest i can get with stock limiter if tuned to its absolute best? Right now im hitting 43,44

Is there a CDI on the teal one?

Do you have videos on how to take ruckus oem clutch off the pulley? How do you?

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.

Also have a.performance cvt blue.contra was thinking. Performance. Exhaust. I'm in. Colorado

How can i make my belt go higher, i got pollini and 4 gr sliders, im 200 lb and hitting 41mph

What are your handle bars called

Where can i purchase custom Ruckus ?

Where are you all located i need some work done

Hey man have a question ... I have a ruk , wondering what weights I should run on my 50cc ruk .. I weigh 260 if you could help that be sick

So, do you also sell them, because I'd be interested in the one you featured in this video
