Yes, def sounds as if the PO changed out the jetting. Thats a very typical step after changing the carb and intake manifold or anything with the intake in general.
Read this from BattleScooter about jetting the Ruckus. http://battlescooter.com/45.html

1) ECU needs to be reset because it's been disconnected, which means it's advance/retardation of timing is more then likely off(and it's the easiest thing to do). It feels just like ECU cut out when hitting a rev limiter in a car, which leads me to:
2) The rollers might be too light, making the engine bounce off the rev limiter even though I'm not at top speed. For reference, the engine has a fairly consistent "note" through out the variators range, from stop to top speed.
I guess we'll see tomorrow after the reset.

Says it in the manual....some where. I remember reading it and seeing it repeated on TR a lot. I'm thumbing to find it now. It's technically an ECU "re-write" to return it to stock. Jumper wire from 2p service connect to positive side of battery, turn ignition, check lights on...then off ( < means re-writing)...wait for lights to come back on, then turn off.
