I have the exact same bike and I’m looking at The Ruck Shop’s Stage 1 Kit. They also have a Stage 2 Kit for SERIOUS modifications. And it sounds like you went straight to the Stage 2 Kit because you mentioned changing jets in your carburetor. There is another guy on a modified Ruckus w/a channel called Small Engine Velocity. Anyone needing help tuning their Ruckus should definitely check him out!

Wise words about reliability. Honda knows what they are doing. When modding it's worth keeping in mind the high level engineering and hours of R&D that a company like Honda puts into it's products. The aftermarket manufacturers and the companies who sell their products aren't interested in reliability, they are interested in your wallet. Anyone pushing a velocity stack does not care about reliability, running an internal combustion engine without an air filter is a sure way to kill it. I've also seen firsthand aftermarket variators and clutch's fail on the road, destroying belts and leave people stranded. Honda's have the reputation they do for a reason. And yes... That pipe was just too damn loud 😂

I have a 2019 ruckus with about 3200 miles on it. So far I’ve done an exhaust, intake, carb jet, and a smooth drive face instead of the one with the fins, I get about 43 mph with it and still about 100 mpg. No engine issues, regular maintenance

Good for you man! You’ll be golden once you just do the variator and sliders. I’d try 5 gram or a mix of 5/5.5 as well. Truly a ruckus is better with a stock intake/exhaust. As we talked about in other videos. You can get gains if the setup is perfect but it’s loud as fuck and just lowers the mileage. Can definitely do 45 on flats with the stock set up + a few basic mods. Again good for you going back to stock

Made my own rear rack and collapsable tote and will do a centre compartment between the feet, adding some footpegs as well. Like the saying goes, if it ain’t broke, dont fix it! That’s why the Ruckus is virtually the same over the years. What windshield are you using? I would like to get one for the Ruk. Thanks for the great videos. 🍺🇨🇦

I'm new with my ruckus. Just ordered the intake kit. I'm heavy and I need more than 34 mph to meet minimum speed requirements for the local roads. With a larger jet the only time it should consume more fuel is when the throttle is opened up more. I really like it stock but I did the variator and cdi however there really is no noticeable difference of any significance. Certainly not worth the 200 bucks on these two items. However the ruck shop claims if I put the lighter weights in it will Rev higher and I'll make 50 mph. So far I doubt it but we shall see soon.

@Winterstick549 hi, it's been several months since this post. If I recall, they are 4.5 or 4. It improved the performance of acceleration nicely. But so far, nothing has made it faster . Honda has an rpm limiter that needs to be overridden from what I see.
