    I owned a ruckus. Bought brand new. Must have been a lemon. Always had an issue. I was sad that it never worked out. Underpowered compared to other scoots in the same weight class. Great video.

    I live in Pittsburgh, the hill capital of the u.s aside from sanfrancisco , but in 11 months I've had MY STOCK ruckus I put over 6000 miles on it, I have problems on hills and any roads with above 45 mph limits, but that's not very many problems in the city, the ruckus is basically at home on city streets, I plan on giving it to my mom who is in her 60s ,she loves it and is responsible for like 1000 of the ovee 6000 miles on it, iam upgrading to the Yamaha xmax for few years, then kawasaki z650rs after that God willing!! Little side note..almost every other bike waves accept lot of harley riders, and I don't think they would wave if I was on a harley myself!!

    Nice to see a new video 🏍. The fuel is treated and the battery is pulled in mine for the winter.

  • @scottishzoomer

    I’ve got a UK spec Ruckus (Zoomer) that comes with a fuel injection engine. This allowed me to buy a fuel map plug in from Japan which increases fuel supply to the engine. It has transformed the bike as for me the sluggish acceleration was more a problem than the top speed. I am now moving away from traffic lights much faster which allows me to steal a match on the following traffic. At the end of the day the Zoomer/Ruckus is more a state of mind than a practical bike, I love mine and accept it’s limitations.

    • @sincloth7022
      @sincloth7022  2 года назад

      Sometimes I wish we had the fuel injected version here. I'll have to upgrade my carburetor jets to hopefully see similar results. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the comment, buddy!

  • @waynebo06

    Here in Michigan all we have to do with our 50cc's is register them. No endorsement or insurance. Some ruckus riders are getting 45mph and pulling up hills. Sliders have been the most popular mods.

    Hi. Did you do the upgrades yet? If so, how much improvement did you get?

    • @sincloth7022
      @sincloth7022  2 года назад

      I ordered a variator kit from Amazon but they sent the wrong one. I sent it back and haven't yet purchased the right one. I still plan to install the correct performance variator kit, and will post a video highlighting any performance improvements as soon as I've done so. I'm expecting a slight increase in acceleration as well as an extra 1 or 2 mph of top speed, but we'll see I guess.

  • @RGsFood
    @RGsFood 2 года назад +3

    I agree, the acceleration is pretty bad and for me, my tailbone hurts like hell after about 30 min on that seat. Other than that it’s a fun little scooter

    • @sincloth7022
      @sincloth7022  2 года назад +1

      Yeah, I forgot to mention how bad the seat is. I guess I just finally got used to it.

    • @bloodcell6282
      @bloodcell6282 Год назад

      yep, im noticing my tailbone is hurting, checked my psi. both tires were at 30psi, i have under 300 miles on it so far

  • @jamessutton835
    @jamessutton835 2 года назад +1

    change the variator and put the 6 gram weights in it, thats what I did and works just fine. I ride mine all year round, even in the winter, I live in Michigan, love the ride.

    • @sincloth7022
      @sincloth7022  2 года назад

      I'll be ordering my variator and rollers in a couple days. Which brand of variator/weights did you use?

  • @rogerpizzo1417
    @rogerpizzo1417 2 года назад +2

    Is the Ruckus considered a moped with moped license plate?

    • @sincloth7022
      @sincloth7022  2 года назад +1

      in most states, yes, it can be registered as a moped. Here in Nevada, a scooter must be under 50cc's and under 2 horsepower to be registered as a moped. The Ruckus is over on horsepower but some (not all) DMV inspectors will still let it be registered as a moped.

  • @ronmendoza1274
    @ronmendoza1274 2 года назад +4

    Want to go a bit faster?
    Get a Yoshimura Exhaust.
    Get a stock size K&N Air Filter.
    Heidenau stock size tires.
    Rejet the carb to compensate for the Yoshimura Exhaust and K&N Air Filter.
    My 2007 is a bit faster and sounds better than stock.

    • @sincloth7022

    Your middle motorcycle is probably either a Grom or a Rebel 300.

    • @sincloth7022
      @sincloth7022  2 года назад

      Either would be a great addition and I've thought about both of those at one time or another. I almost bought a Grom instead of the Ruckus.

  • @jimolson8810
    @jimolson8810 2 года назад +1

    If you’re a bigger dude like me, I just don’t think that you can get much more out of it than stock config. Everything I’ve read suggests that only very marginal improvements can be had. But good luck! Let us m know how you do!

    • @sincloth7022
      @sincloth7022  2 года назад

      If I could get it to maintain a little more speed going uphill and/or against the wind, plus an extra 1-2 mph on the top end, that would be good enough for me. We'll see how it goes.

    • @jimolson8810
      @jimolson8810 2 года назад +1

      Have you seen the new Honda Navi that is coming to the states next year? Too bad that 125cc motor isn’t available in a ruck chassis. I love the utility design and minimalistic look of my ruck but I wish it was a 125. But I absolutely don’t want to do one of those gy6 150 cc conversions and end up with a stretched scoot. Plus, gy6 motors can be sketchy and I want that Honda reliability.

    • @sincloth7022
      @sincloth7022  2 года назад

      @@jimolson8810 ​ Oh yeah! I'm so glad we're finally getting the Navi here. I've recently been considering the possibility of trading my motorcycle in for a couple of smaller bikes/scooters including a Navi.

    • @ruckusisland5877
      @ruckusisland5877 2 года назад

      I had the Navi in one hand and Ruckus in other and went with Ruckus. Need somewhere to put the bundle of firewood or case of beer. We would be happy with power of Ruckus if we had a mini road with no cars.

    Everybody buys a Ruckus, then complains about them only doing maybe 45miles per hour. If you wanted to go faster, you should have bought a larger engined scooter. 49cc’s is only going to get you so fast, you should’ve bought a 125cc or larger. The Ruckus is a small commuter bike not a bike for travel purposes. You should be aware that it is not allowed on highways because it can’t do the speed limit before buying one. There’s a reason you don’t need a motorcycle drivers license, or tags to ride one.
