Lets get this started off with a link to the filter of the day.

That right there is the pod filter I decided to slap on my 58cc GET Ruckus. I swore I would never use a pod filter when I first got my Ruckus because they don't look stock, aren't great in the rain, and can cause so many issues with tuning. "What happened?" You might ask... I got a stretch kit and the geometry change in the rear shock means I can't use my highly modified stock airbox anymore. I tried the pod filter with 2 different carbs (stock and the scooter swap shop 20mm) and the smallest main jets I had handy (#80 for both) and oddly enough I'm running rich, boggy even, where I used to run 12.0 right on the AFR gauge using my modified stock box +drop in K&N, with an 85 main on a clipped/shimmed stock carb, still a little rich albeit, but it was winter and the temps fluctuated enough to merit it.
That was a lot of talk to say if you swap to a cheap pod filter like I did: Shim your needle to the moon to skip the lean midrange and be very mindful of swapping your main jet. A lean midrange is the #1 cause of jetting up on our stock carbs, which leads to rich top ends, which leads to slow Rucks and sad Rucksters.
That ends whatever this was. Happy Tuning!
