Hey guys, very new to this community and I'm looking for some help tuning my newly upgraded 2014 Honda Ruckus. I went with the polini variator, carb jets, velocity stack intake, NCY cdi box, and yoshi exhaust to get my scooter up to speed. Right now I have the Dr. Pulley slider weights in the variator that came with my kit. I'm about 6'2" and weight about 260 lbs so I'm kinda heavy for the ruckus but I want to get as much out of it as I can. What would the best weight setup for a guy of my build with the mods I have? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give!

I'm here for info also. I'm 6'2 220lbs. I have gotten mine to 40mph but I'm sure the motor and variator is stock. I have a few bolt on mods but I would love to get some better get up and go

First let me say there is no simple answer. Get a tachometer, the rev range is important to tuning. From there it's just trial and error using different weights. 4.5-6g seems to be the window.
You can mix the weights also to fine tune your setup. Example: use three 5g weights with three 5.5g weights but make sure they are placed staggered in the variator.(5g, 5.5g, 5g, 5.5g, 5g, 5.5g)
Some people have opted for a bigger carb (PC20) but I have no personal experience with that. My Get engine did 47mph(I was 6' 180lbs) with a similar setup to Tim's, using 5.5g weights.
Also, replace the stock tires with some Michelin Boppers.

I'm here for the suggestions as I'm about your size as well.

also what have you gotten your Ruckus up to so far (on flat)?
