    Default My Honda Ruckus/Zoomer Daily

    Picked this up about 6 months ago, stock as a rock with only 5200kms on it, and damn is this thing fun.
    Bought it to be a cheap on fuel city run around but now ive upgraded a few things i almost ride it everywhere!

    Heres a few pics of it when i first picked it up



    It was awfully slow when i first picked it up stock, struggled to hit 55/60km/h which in my mind was dangerous so first things on the cards were some mods to improve speed:
    Ninja Scooter Variator + lighter roller weights
    NCY CDI to remove the rev limiter
    New Daytona Kevlar Belt + new oils/coolant etc

    Plus i also got rid of the ugly stock rear light setup, in its place an r6 integrated tail light

    Heres a few more pics after taillight install plus the other stuff



    Just from these upgrades i could comfortably cruise at 60km/h and could hit 72km+ with no major wind. So much fun to ride around, and so unbelievably cheap on fuel!
    Rode it around like this for a few months before i decided it was time to upgrade a few more things

    Next on the list was :
    Full Yoshimura TRC Stainless exhaust
    Stock Airbox delete in exchange for a New uni filter and custom manifold. (also rejetted carby to suit new exhaust and intake)
    Rear Fender delete

    Pics of Yoshimura Exhaust



    Now comfortably cruises at 70+kms with my best top speed lately being 82km/h. I still need to play around with the jetting of the carb cos its still not quite 100% right

    More updates to come when i motivate myself to do more to it, but at the moment im just having fun riding the thing

    Next on list:
    Low down seat
    New bars + head stem
    wider rear wheel

    more pics to come

    Ah set me back just under 3k with a year's rego, which is a lot for a scooter. But I've already had about 10 people hassling me to buy it for much more haha
    Yeah don't mind the beewees, hopefully we get the New Honda grom /msx125 next year. That thing looks super fun

    Ive been keeping an eye out for one of theses that's an awesome setup! Did you buy it locally or import it yourself? I see justjap is selling a couple on ebay but pretty pricey! Easy to ride?

    Performance parts I bought mainly from the US and the UK, and I doubt there's a specialist in adelaide for the ruckus but what do you need done? I pulled mine apart like 20 times so can pretty much do whatever you need. Pm me if you need anything
