    I’d love your advice: I pulled the bottom shock bolt and, while trying to break the axel nut, the shock arm isn’t lining up with the bottom hole. Is there a trick? Is compressing it necessary? I know this is a shot in the dark, but as much as I can rebuild a caliper I just can’t seem to figure this one out even though it seems so simple. FYI: I’ve watched a *lot* of youtube videos for mechanical advice over the last 10+ years. Yours is by far the best. You genuinely deserve a tv show. Your voice is also perfect at 2x speed.

    • @rubytheelite
      @rubytheelite 22 дня назад

      Hello! I would purchase a service manual and follow the "Retractable headlight" instructions in Section 16. From 16-21 to 16-27 the manual gives you testing points for the timer unit as well as the main motor. This section also shows the mode of operation for the entire headlight unit. This would be a great starting point. Mine was sticking and I utilized this section. Good luck!

  • @metroidmetalandfps

    So I definitely understand the removal of the grease plate. I did that myself and follwed the same clean out procedure of the variator. Even put everything back in without any grease just as you did. For the rollers, though, I’ve heard it’s still best to at least use some graphite on them. Should I be leaving the rollers in there all dry? or should I consider putting graphite in there as a precaution?

    • @rubytheelite
      @rubytheelite 24 дня назад

      @metroidmetalandfps Graphite is the worst thing you can use! It's dry and will end up everywhere you don't want it when the spinning occurs! I tried this once about 20 years ago and it caused belt slipping! I never used it again!

    • @metroidmetalandfps
      @metroidmetalandfps 24 дня назад

      @@rubytheelite copy that I’ll stay away from it then. Have you had any issues at all down the line from keeping the grease out? Some people saying that Honda had it that way, they know what they were doing and I should have put grease back inside before reassembling. As much as I usually do everything OEM standard and don’t do any performance modifications, this does seem like one small modification that wouldn’t hurt it. Though I have heard the variator could retain too much heat down there without the grease and possibly overheat and cause issues. Not sure if that’s true, but wanted to know if you had any experience with that happening. I’ve noticed this is one of the only things that you don’t do exactly the way Honda recommends, so just figured I would ask since you seem to have a lot of experience dealing with the no-grease setup

    I found your channel after buying a 86 Helix at the beginning of the summer and 3 weeks later I find myself with a Honda Big Ruckus that I have been trying to buy for a couple of years. Your comments about getting side tracked by buying more and more scooters hit home. Love your content and knowledge as it applicable to other Honda scooters. I have left the Helix to concentrate on getting the Big Ruckus engine running which is a big task as many hands and mice have been in this Honda orphan scoot. It is this challenge that makes it interesting.. Here in Canada the fuel line issue is a gas issue as ethanol has destroyed many a small engine and drove people to electric powered equipment. Happy 40 birthday to Ruby the Elite.

      As I mentioned in my comeback video, the Elite 250 basically sat for a while when I stopped making videos. The mileage on it isn't much to give a good read on the clutch. As far as JW parts plus? They did a great job on my Elite 125 clutch, but that was years ago. Their customer practices back then were excellent! I have no idea how they are now.
