Re: Honda Ruckus / Scooter Thread
OK, so I'm not fast, 41.9mph with 5.6g rollers...
However it is over 100 degrees outside...
The good news is though, it pulls like a champ now.
I can keep up with traffic while leaving a light much easier now.
EDIT: These speeds are GPS, not SPEEDO... the speedometer is wrong, it reads high.
When I was doing 41.9 the SPEEDO needle was on the temp light. (2011 speedo)

Mine was a little rough looking so i sanded with 1000 and 1500 grit sand paper where the rollers go and also the rectangle things that the plate slides on.
FOR THE POLINI
If your under 180 lbs file the met weights to 5.8gs
If your under 160lbs file the met weights to 5.9gs
If your under 150lbs file the met weights to 6.0gs
If your under 140lbs the polini with unfiled met weights
If over 180lbs loose weight or get a differnt variator.
This information is for a 09 ruck with 500 miles on it. Motor is stock. Belt is stock Variator ramps and the slider plate guides have been polished.
