Just make sure it is not running lean and it will be fine.

Check the spark plug, IIRC a whiter plug means you are running lean, if it is black/sooty it is too rich.

Yup if the plug is white then it's running lean. Ideally it should be tan, with black being rich. That's most simple (but not that accurate) way to check. I'm surprised your Ruckus runs okay with a homemade intake though. Usually these allow a lot more airflow and it's so lean that it hardly runs.

when you say white spark plug do you mean when you pull that sucker out it will be totally white or the center electrode is white?
