I went back to the 85 main. The 82 made the plug pretty white. Warm idle is a little rough (I still need to adjust the idle mixture). I think I my need to check the valve shims as it accellerates a little jerky over 25 mph. I'm maxed out at about 38-39 mph with my '03 (in a tuck). Before the pod filter, I was hitting the bar at 40+ mph (w/CDI & BSS variator). I figured I might lose a little top end if I went to the pod. Question - do you think this is about the best speed I can expect out of my old '03? If the shims are off that will be messing with your top speed  Check those first |

There is no right answer to tell you. You need to experiment. Elevation is going to be a factor, and so is your new filter. Once you add these mods, you can tell us what's happening to your Ruckus and we can certainly point you in the right direction.

do you think there's an answer book and we're not giving it to you? I know you want answers, have you tried anything other than asking us? I would buy some jets and observe what happens by increasing or decreasing jet size. Or letting us know what happens with your pod filter and stock jets.
You must not of even checked your service manual or an online manual to find stock size jets. You probably could of asked your local "honda" dealer he could of told you.
On a side not, does anybody know what size jet I should run with a brillow pad filter, 81 octane gas, carb with 5 raisins in it, and soup can with lid for my muffler? Oh, and I'm at 100.68 meters exactly above sea level.

as a guest, I have the right to ask any question I like. I don't have to explain myself and unless you own this site, than I would strongly suggest that you mind your own business. If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all. if you would have cared to discuss your points without targeting me as your whiping boy d'jor, maybe, just maybe you might have been blessed with my attention.
take a lesson from Chanito

As a member I think I did give you advice. I told you there was no answer to just tell you and that you may need to experiment. I said elevation as well as your new pod filter were factors in determining jet size. I then stated that you could tell us what your observations were and we could point you in the right direction. Please see above. Now you're in this forum telling people to mind their own business. In a forum? I didn't target you. See above. You asked, I offered help when I saw nobody coming to your rescue. I think that your question didn't deserve a post from the "experts" here, that's why I came in to offer you some tips. Chanito is a very nice man. I feel bad that he needed to post an answer to your question. He gave you the "answer" you needed so now your thankful. So my tips weren't what you wanted to read, were they helpful? Yes, to somebody who may be in the same spot as you and is more eager to get the right answer, by trial and error. That's the answer to your question. Blessed by your attention? Please.....and work on your French! If you were trying to say whipping boy of the day, with some french thrown in, try d'jour. It will make actually make sense. |

 Down boys settle down I did not give advice earlier, because i was not on the forum as often as i like, but i can understand his question, as he was looking for advice from people that more than likely have deal with the problem before. Obviously he could have done a search and find the answer to that question somewhere in here, but not everyone is familiar with that function, so let's cut him some slack

you want to know the jetting on the pod filter, read any of my threads about my struggles and that should give you a good idea of what you need to do to get it running again ;D

The gauze pod filter will add a bit of airflow on the low end but not much up top so you'll likely wind up with a main jet roughly the same size as stock (stock = 75 and you'll likely need a 72 - 80) but you'll need more gas on the low end which can be a accomplished by backing out the idle mix screw to add gas or increasing the slow jet from the stock 35 size to a 38, 40 or 42 which are all available at the Battlescooterstore.com

Because thats my elevation to the meter 1048, my advice is 88 MJ and 35 SJ, or 85 MJ, 35 SJ, and a small shim on the needle Thats what i ran, worked great ;D If you are, sign up, send me a PM, and we'll ride when the weather gets nice and my 06 is not dead ;D And if you need help with the jetting i can give you some good starting points |
