Brilliant video, totally agree with the positive comments, we’ll laid out and presented, avoids the BS rabbit holes you can sink into screaming straight into a show bike build But also love how you start saying this is gonna be simple and by the end you’ve fallen in love with it and say it’s not a show bike ‘yet’. Hope you have more ruck content gonna jump on your page in a second just wanted to say thanks for this video before. Great Job Dude
Thank you so much for the support been close to a year since I have made a video just decided to jump on today and this was my first comment hopefully I can get back into the groove of making them again
Great video. One thing I’d add with the front wheel alignment is that those notches in the front hub are for the Speedo cable, the alignment could be slightly off because you’re running spacers as opposed to the speed sensor.
I look forward to the day when somebody or some shop puts an aftermarket swing arm, wheel and fat/wide tire on a Honda Monkey! Somebody here on youtube has already turned one into a cafe racer and all it needs is the wide tire and chrome rim on the back!
this is a great vid, basically swapping a gy6 from a crappy scooter over to a ruckus even with how to aftermarket parts, will most definitely use this for my ruck..... Also if you didnt notice but your front tire is on the wrong way, directional tire
Was your engine a 150cc or a 50cc? If it was a 50 then could you list what Big Bore kit did you use. Found a great deal on a 50cc and wondered if the work would be worth it.
i see u got nissan maxia my bumper lights not work i replaced the whole light assimbly and still not coming on still can use help me figure it out oh and i replaced the rely switch too
Great video very keen to get 1 Ruckas or Zoomer in UK in🏴 And I love the kit you used to stretch and lower it Those fat whitewalls and wheels wow Wonder how much to get those part imported to UK 🇬🇧 New following great breakdown Can't wait to see the finished bike btw loved the background music?
11 months on your probably done with your UK build by now but if not, Lee Baker at RuckStyle UK is a great point of call, he distributed for the ruck shop but also has a good relationship with a lot of the other American companies you might want to order from, Plus years of experience.
I'm swapping mine right now just waiting on a shorty shift and I can start assembly. I ordered the wiring harness since I'm not great at wiring . The ruck shop has it for 162$
Dude I’ll buy your OG GET engine assembly off you, I’ve got a 50cc that’s seized. I mostly use mine as a trail bike anyway. Cool video, you planned the parts well.
Great video and great bike, it looks awesome, does any one make a complete conversion kit to do this, i have been wanting to do the swap for a long time but i don't like ordering a lot of parts from different manufactures, things always go wrong for me for some reason,( late shipping, back ordered, out of stock etc. ) 👍🏆.
Been working on it for a couple years now stick a new carburetor on there and run perfect orange might need a valve adjustment that's it otherwise you're good
for the CVT set up you might wanna invest a little bit on fly balls maybe get lighter balls there for much better acceleration especially if you are a heavy rider
the GY6 is an ok engine. If you get one get the Taiwanese version. Most of my friends have the stock engine 50cc but pimp the hell out of their ruckus. It's still looks nice for rides.
The donor scooter was an adventure 150cc Chinese scooter that's about all I can tell you on it just use it for parts just make sure it has a long case 150cc and you should be fine
Yes I contacted Drow sports and they assured me this was the way it was supposed to be got a little closer once everything was tight but still about 1/8 of an inch off doesn't bother me too much
@@zsproshop nice, I'm planning on doing the same. I'm going to be using the donor harness and splice everything up with ruckus connectors. Any problems you encountered while doing this?
@@zsproshop Awesome! Did you just cut the GY6 connectors from the harness and spliced the original ruckus connectors? And did you have to use original ruckus ECU?
I don't have any problems with the fat wheel, it's cool looks awesome. However I can't escape the annoyance of the fact that a slightly worn fatty has exactly the same ride instability as a darkside tire and becomes more exaggerated in that direction as is reaches the end of it's service life. Even a normal width motor bike tire has more squarness at end of service than a new darkside. Yet none of Jedi bike masters have any problems with a fat tire. Buy the way darkside tires actually become slightly more rounded with use so the handling actually improves with use.
Yes not to worried about it as cannot corner at all with the bike being so low anyways have to slow down almost everywhere stretch slammed Ruckus is not good for handling LOL
@@zsproshop Lol, I was referring to the latin song at 4:35. Z, Your project is exactly what i've been thinking about. Some might say is a "budget" build but actually is a really smart build. Using a full 150cc scooter as donor is way more cost effective and reliable than upgrading ALL the components of a ruckus. I've seen guys throwing lots of money in upgrading 50cc ruckuses just to end with a scooter that cannot even match a 125cc. Congrats on your build, really nice. Just one question, what kind of fuel pump are you using with the GY6 engine? Thanks a lot
Thanks for the info I thought the chuckus harness was the same as any other scooter with the GY6 would still need to be adapted for turn signals and hand controls correct?
@@zsproshop the chuckus harness is just a plug and play thing.its almost identical in location as the factory GET harness.i bought the trike version because it's about 10 inches longer.i get all my harnesses from Cajunmaddog.com .he's always in stock and shipped to your around 120 or less.
I know LOL I think I am somewhere around $2,000 don't think that is too bad for a GY6 build semi budget build LOL some guys get up there and spend 4 to 5,000 on the swap
I love gy6 engines but it's retarded that anyone would replace a great quality water cooled Japanese honda engine with a Chinese copy.yes its faster but do a real swap and keep it water cooled with an elite 150 or 250 engine
This was just the most cost-effective and easy swap for me at the time Road the thing all summer reason for swap was the hard start in the mornings like I mentioned at the beginning of the video probably just needed a valve adjustment
One of the best No Nonsense step by step builds i've seen in a long time thank you sir GREAT JOB!!!
Thanks for the suport
Love the content! I like how you just do it the way you want to and everything always ends up working out

Awesome vid. Clean and straight to the point... 👍🏽
Bought the rolling wrench harness and it’s worth every penny. 20min plug and play!!!
There you go thats awesome!!! Perfect daily and looks good 👍
Thank you glad to see people are liking it

Loved this build
Thanks she has a 171 bbk now my daily driver runs and drives great still
I can tell you have a little bit of impatience understandable you’ve been waiting a while to get to the fun stuff right now.
Wondering when you were going to upload!! Awesome Ruck.
Thank you for the support I will try to post videos more often
@@zsproshop where did you get the wheels and tires for it
This dude is a str8 gear head. I like him👍🏼😎
I try lol thanks again
I got a 2015 pcx. Been debating on buying a ruckus so I can do an engine swap.
this is a great vid, basically swapping a gy6 from a crappy scooter over to a ruckus even with how to aftermarket parts, will most definitely use this for my ruck..... Also if you didnt notice but your front tire is on the wrong way, directional tire
I did notice that thought the rotation was wrong but will flip it as soon as possible still riding it like that lol
@@zsproshop im sure probably doesnt mean shit but just thought i would tell you
Looks great
Was your engine a 150cc or a 50cc? If it was a 50 then could you list what Big Bore kit did you use. Found a great deal on a 50cc and wondered if the work would be worth it.
Can you put the link where you got the exhaust and also tires dimensions Thanks
i see u got nissan maxia my bumper lights not work i replaced the whole light assimbly and still not coming on still can use help me figure it out oh and i replaced the rely switch too
Hello friend, where did you buy the spare parts.
greetings
I noticed you’re from my hometown! Anyway you can help me with my gy6 swap??
Great video very keen to get 1 Ruckas or Zoomer in UK in🏴
And I love the kit you used to stretch and lower it
Those fat whitewalls and wheels wow
Wonder how much to get those part imported to UK 🇬🇧
New following great breakdown
Can't wait to see the finished bike btw loved the background music?
Thanks for the response everybody loves free music from iMovie LOL bike is still not done but has a 171 Big Bore kit now still my daily driver

Got questions can do that on zuma yamaha 2023 my rear look bore
What's the name of the donor bike u use for the gy6 engine
I'm swapping mine right now just waiting on a shorty shift and I can start assembly. I ordered the wiring harness since I'm not great at wiring . The ruck shop has it for 162$
Thanks for letting me know it did not know for some reason when I looked they were all $300 and above
What’s wrong with your GET OEM motor. Want to sell it? I’ve got a 50cc seized.
Dude I’ll buy your OG GET engine assembly off you, I’ve got a 50cc that’s seized. I mostly use mine as a trail bike anyway. Cool video, you planned the parts well.
If you are local to the Yakima Seattle area look me up really don't want to ship it out
Sorry, Wisconsin. Dang.
Where did you buy your wheels?
What was your tire set up???
what fat wheel that they used...cause I have one waiting for build
How much did this swap cost you?
That's awesome!
Thanks 👍
Can you email the schematics for the wiring? Please
All of that for a bigger tire?
Great how to.
Thanks 👍
Great video and great bike, it looks awesome, does any one make a complete conversion kit to do this, i have been wanting to do the swap for a long time but i don't like ordering a lot of parts from different manufactures, things always go wrong for me for some reason,( late shipping, back ordered, out of stock etc. ) 👍🏆.
Thanks for the comment there is a couple companies that sell complete kits try The ruck shop or rolling wrench Denver
@@zsproshop i will, thank you ! Your ruckus looks awesome, can't wait to see it completely finished 👍🏆.
Good job
Thanks
What size are your wheels?
i have 2008 zuma my electrical push start button dont work what could it be
So what was your total parts cost? Maybe I missed it. Nice work on a more DIY job
Don't think I ever added up I want to say that I'm somewhere around 1500$ it is a lot of money to put into a scooter but I love riding this thing
Awesome work! I want to do this to my Ruckus. How fast does it go?
not too sure yet as I do not have a speedometer we'll get one soon or may just do a top speed run with the GPS on my phone
@@zsproshop Can you tell a big difference off the start?
Oh yeah he's learning
Been working on it for a couple years now stick a new carburetor on there and run perfect orange might need a valve adjustment that's it otherwise you're good
Subbed!!
thanks
Had no idea that you could customize the ruckuses
Sharp👍
👍
for the CVT set up you might wanna invest a little bit on fly balls maybe get lighter balls there for much better acceleration especially if you are a heavy rider
Thanks for the info rode it all summer hit a bump last week and broke the exhaust and head think it's time for a big bore kit
@@zsproshop hmm maybe you could tune that thing up to 180cc??
Mantap man
the GY6 is an ok engine. If you get one get the Taiwanese version. Most of my friends have the stock engine 50cc but pimp the hell out of their ruckus. It's still looks nice for rides.
Where you get the motor mount?
Mojo customs gy6 fatty mount
What was top speed after the swap? Have a ruckus and thinking about going to the 150
Still have not done a top speed run as I do not have a speedometer LOL but definitely feels a lot faster I'm guessing somewhere around mid-50s
Let me know if you want to sell your GET OEM engine assembly, I have a 50cc seized
@@lynnmason6020 where are you located. I might would sell it.
Man I wish you lived by me ide hire you to help me do mine lol
Thanks for the support man sorry do not do customer work anyways but good luck on your build
🤣🤣🤣I want to say “I’d never, ever!” But…🙃😛!
look like the rotation of front tire is backwards
What was your donor scooter?
The donor scooter was an adventure 150cc Chinese scooter that's about all I can tell you on it just use it for parts just make sure it has a long case 150cc and you should be fine
I've never used that mount but you might need to use spacers to line it up it's not safe having the center line off .
Yes I contacted Drow sports and they assured me this was the way it was supposed to be got a little closer once everything was tight but still about 1/8 of an inch off doesn't bother me too much
@@zsproshop it is the way its supposed to be, from my understanding, when you sit on it and the shock gives a bit, it should be in line
Where did You get the rims and tires
Monstergy6.com talk to Steven wheels are priced fairly and ships within reason highly recommended
@@zsproshop do you know the bolt pattern. I just purchased one. But it was the jasscol trike I believe the same bike but different name
Do they make an e-version?!
Not from factory but did see someone swapped an electric motor into one
Not from factory but did see someone swapped an electric motor into one

What make and model was the donor scooter?
Not too sure did say adventure on the side of it 150cc
@@zsproshop nice, I'm planning on doing the same. I'm going to be using the donor harness and splice everything up with ruckus connectors. Any problems you encountered while doing this?
No I'm pretty straightforward just label everything and make sure they go to the same spot
@@zsproshop Awesome! Did you just cut the GY6 connectors from the harness and spliced the original ruckus connectors? And did you have to use original ruckus ECU?
I think the rotation of that front tire is backwards

Just one question, what kind of fuel pump are you using with the GY6 engine?
Thanks a lot
I used a Mikuni mecanical snowmobile fuel pump runs off vacuum from the engine cheap and reliable thank you for the support

Thank you
God bless you
