Been waiting on this one looks great off the line very nice torque don't take long to reach those speeds either all in all I would say impressive and knowing you keep tinkering with it will be hitting 70 before long🤣...
What would you recommend for a stock 125(2020) as far as performance per dollar? Airflow, EFI, clutch or CVT components? If you had say $500 to spend, what would you do?
I have not test how fast my piaggio upgraded I did on it yet because till have check on it I added new Variator kit and dr pulley slider 12.5g & rebuild the clutch I making sure never thing tightening up nuts & bolts! Ceasar
@@SmallEngineVelocity Yes the law should not require 50cc without a separate license! They should simply put a governor on a 125 to 150 cc. Motorcycle or scooter and put a governor that stops it from going more than 45 50 mph. 30 or 35 mi./hr. is too slow & there’s not enough power for hills! Awesome if you had the bigger engine and it was just topped out at a safe speed. Until you got your motorcycle endorsement. Then you could practice son and keep the same bike and have it de restricted at the DMV! I would be OK with that government regulation as long as it came with the more powerful motor for safety reasons! Just as going to fast can kill if you’re inexperienced. Going to slow can get you killed or badly injured! Especially with crazy pissed off drivers!!
If my RUCKUS was this reliable with the GY6 this would feel average to me. As it stands now I am amazed at how well this Zuma runs, The usable power, the ability to carry 1000 things, and to me LOOKS cool.
@@SmallEngineVelocity yeah , I need to go thru all your zuma vids. Maybe i could get the wife to ride something like this. We sold the ruckus as it just wasnt the same like back when I was 150lbs.
From the experts, I was told no ECU or fuel mods were needed. You only need to IF you upgrade the size of your throttle body. I did port and polish the intake so I believe I could have benefited from a tune but
Hey man, I just got the same scoot 2016 125cc zuma. Do you 100% recommend doing the upgrade? I’m probably going to ride stock for a bit but I know I’m going to want to mess around in the future, if it’s worth it
Ride stock for as long as you like. You will find it is powerful enough for every day riding. It will be fun to ride! Now with that being said, with the BBK I can tear up the road and give cars a hard time keeping up off line line. X3 more fun now but do I recommend it ? If you have the tools and the skill sure but I recommend getting to know the bike (ride stock 125) for as long as you like until you feel like you could use more. Thanks for the reply
This is the second to the last video on this series for the people who wanted me to finish the zuma series. There is a new Ruckus build series starting in the next few weeks
@@SmallEngineVelocity I have hit the 10k but that's with the beast mode tuner with rev limiter bypass. The cam can handle 10k but the power band is like 7-9k rpms
Thanks man. This thing rocks. Now if I could only figure out how to lower it. CVT stuff , clutch and belt is next if I can afford it. Should make a go fund me for parts ! Jk lol
@@quanwick4516 It would stall we I came to a stop occasionally once I was at full throttle for a long time for about 30 minutes plus and the engine's hot

Great vid man! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks :) I’m impressed with it
nice video mate!!
Thumbs up 🔥
Thank you
Thanks again for great video! Ceasar 💯
Great video. That's pretty good acceleration 0-60 for a CVT scooter
I got a new belt to use but I’m waiting for a new variator first before I use it.

Twin turbos on it also! May be a really small shot of NOS!😂
I’m super curious how much the mpg’s have changef

Is there enough torque now to lift the front up a bit with the BBK?
Hey bud where did you get the back rest?
They should build them like that!
I agree , it's safer and more usable.

Seems to be way better than the reliability issues with gy6 mods.

Zuma has a pretty tall seat high, my wife can’t sit on it and hold her up she has to jump off the seat.
@@godspeedseven1791 Look for the old speed test video
Did you have to tune the ECU given the upgrades? I have a stock 2016 Zuma and I want to add an exhaust. Cheers, thanks for the video!

What phone mount is that???

@@SmallEngineVelocity right on thanks!
@@SmallEngineVelocity just did the upgrade, super stoked! Thanks for being one of my inspirations to do the work!
Nice!!! Dude it’s gonna rock be ready !
@@SmallEngineVelocity cheeee🤙!
That’s a lot closer to the 125 cc Two stroke acceleration and top speed.
What would happen if you put twin turbos on it?
Funny you ask, I looked that up. I've seen by builds with turbos because a programmable ecu exists
@@SmallEngineVelocity That’s very cool. Please do a video with turbo or two!
How many miles did you go to break it in?
300 or so miles , should have been more but I’m impatient
What app
More ruckus video plez

With the Tst CVT kit I can hit 74mph
Other mods too? Intake/exhaust?
9500 is cut off I believe
I’m sure 10k is the limit before valve float. What do you think Casey ?

@@caseylynn6687 do you have trouble with your beast mode tuner having the engine shut off around idle?
@@quanwick4516 It would stall we I came to a stop occasionally once I was at full throttle for a long time for about 30 minutes plus and the engine's hot
Not bad still kinda slow
Need to get a new variator and heavier sliders but the accel and take off is amazing compared to stock
