me and my 2 buddies went out 2 weeks ago and bought 3 ruckus's lol anyways i added 4 mini air filter to the breather hoses on the air box and i gained 2 maybe 3 mph with no jetting., topping out at 42 mph on flat ground.. all 3 of us race around town and i always win.. we all weigh about the same 170 to 180 if anthing i weigh more.. we all removed the plastics and have no mods. all bought the same day.. its as simple as 4 mini filters and 40 bucks,, bought them at pep boys 10 each.. also while i was there i picked up a hose block off kit to block the holes in the air box..
just figured i would let people know sinse i havent seen anyone talking abou it..
if anyone needs pics just ask.. ill post them

Pics would be helpful. I'm having a hard time fully conceptualizing this.

 I fail to see how this mod can improve the performance enough to gain 3-4mph, as i understand your modification you replace all the lines that feed off the air filter, therefore allowing more airflow into the engine (something similar to installing a freer flowing air filter), it has been done and i even installed a bigger filter with less restricting intake, did the jetting to compensate, and gained very little Maybe it is just wishful thinking, maybe you have a better performing ruckus than your friends, or maybe you are onto something with this mod, but i would like to see more people doing it and reporting before i am fully convince

my one friend weighs a few pounds less but like i said we all have the new ruckus's.. mine is the only all black,, other 2 are red.. it has to be the filters.. i cant see what else it would be.. the 2 red ones are about the same but mine kills them and as far as weight im right in the middle .. its a hair louder then the other 2 now with the filters.. not annoying loud tho

I dont know whats going on and i just replaced the oil, gas, plug and filter! plz help thanks That is odd, did you install the fuel filter the right way? Check to make sure the spark plug terminal is installed and seated properly. Sometimes old gas can do that to the scooter, and just riding it and refilling can fix it ??? |

i would like to see the filter placement. i was thinking of getting rid of the factory airbox and putting a filter directly on the carb. would this be the equivalent?

I'm sorry, I don't think you invented this mod. people have done this.
