- I have my 2006 Honda Big Ruckus 250cc. 22K miles on the bike currently, and replacing the Dr. Pulley Slider Weights. Showing how easy it is to open up the CVT on the bike and do the service on your own. I have moved from the 26 gram OEM roller weights, to the 21 gram slider weights. This has increased take off and speed uphill, at the expense of (some) top end. I have also put a 15% heavier contra spring and racing clutch springs on the rear clutch assembly (a video for another day) I am loving the bike, its been a good ride. Well taken care of and well ridden. These CVT Service and Mods are sort of universal for all CVT style scooters, easy work if you have the right tools.

I am about to buy one. Great video. Thnks.
Just wanted to say thanks. I have a little ruckus and just purchased a big ruckus. It needs a few things, but overall is in great shape. Your video keeps me from making those simple mistakes that makes working on them fun. How about a video on servicing the hand brakes? Wink and nod.
John Nixon I could do that
Thanks for the info bro, I have a Honda reflex 250 and and putting a big ruckus face b on it with the 20 grams sliders, hopefully it gives me better speed and lower rpm. Your video was very helpful.....even though I have a Honda reflex, should be almost the same as yours
Oh yeah. They are very similar. Do the carb rejet also. 45 idle jet and 102 main. Big difference
@@KMJ187 just bought it, it has a thousand miles on it, just changing out the face b with the ruckus. Hopefully I don't have to mess with the carburator tho. I'll leave that alone.....lol
thanks for the video just ordered another set of 21gm sliders. got 18,000mi and did them back
in 2016 at around 4000 mi. need to do belt again soon that was done at 10,037 mi. and have to
get rear tire mounted. Can you please do a video on the valve adjust ing procedure
Great video! I just blew the belt on my 2006 BR. Any advice on removing the clutch?
Btw...youre kind of a natural teacher!
Mike Majer I removed the clutch the same way. Used and impact wrench. Then just smack the clutch bell a few times with a mallet. She will come off. I blew a belt also, took forever to clean all those shreds out!
Mike Majer And thank you ever so much for the compliment :)
Just bought a 2006 BR with 1700 miles! Super excited. Thanks for the videos. I'm sure I'll want to update it after awhile. Is that a OEM luggage rack? Do you know if they are still available? I can't seem to locate one.
The rack is the oem. Honda only imported some oem accessories in 2005 and 2006 the years the bikes were sold. Then stopped all together. Even in 2010 when I got my big ruckus then only 4 years old, oem accessories were sold out at every dealer. You have to hunt them down used. That's the only way. I found mine used on eBay back in 2011. It was beat up and I had it powder coated. Good luck on the hunt!
Great Video for me because I just got a 2006 Big R. I believe the BR comes with 29g rollers? I am a big guy and surpass the weight limit of the BR but it still hauls me around. What weight Dr. Pulleys would you suggest? Based on my big butt and the hilly country I live in. I'm disabled but I refuse to use one of those E-wheelchairs even if I have to put training wheels on the BR. Br info is hard to find on the web. Thanks for your help and great video.
Bigruckus comes with 26G stock :) glad you are out and about riding. That's great!!!
Nice video! Just picked up a 2006 Ruckus with 3K miles. Ready to do the lighter rollers/sliders, rejet and pop in the clutch spring to hold lower gear a touch longer. If you rejetted, did you wind up with any flat spots in acceleration?
grallock no flat spots at all with the rejet. The rejet is the jets the bike was designed to have to begin with. The only reason the small jets are in there is to get the old motor through EPA. So rejet away. If you do all the mods you listed. It will feel like a brand new bike!
@@KMJ187 Thanks for the reply! Dealer's a bit lost helping me source the jets. Where did you get yours?

@@grallock let me know if that helps. This is where I got mine.
@@KMJ187 Perfect! Thanks!
So the Dr. Pulley sliders work with all the original Big Ruckus parts?
Where can I find these parts you mentioned (slider weights, contra spring)?
Also, is that a factory rear suspension spring? Thanks!
Dr. Pulley
Hey ModdRocker can you do a video on how to make your BR go a little faster - BR will be in the US for years to come ppl will need a video on how to do stuff, please think about it
the bigger Jet change out is cheap and works
Do you know what the specific torque for the drivetrain hex nut? Can't seem to find it anywhere. I have read any where from 40lbs-80lbs. I was also wondering about the sliders. I weigh 180 should I go with a 19gram slider or go heavier? I have a 2006 BR with only 5800 miles. Putting in a new cvt belt and want to take out the old rollers. Really enjoyed the video. I really appreciate your time in this matter. I would like to know about your heated grips as well.
I forgot that I asked you about the rollers. Thanks for the feedback.
I have the factory service manual and I can check. I have always used a impact wrench and locktite red! :)
@@KMJ187 Thanks for checking.
@@KMJ187 Driveface and the drivenface for the torque if possible. Thanks so much for the help. I need to ride!!! Lol
@@chrishenson8357 I'm traveling right now. Home later tonight. I'll get it.
@@KMJ187 No worries…. Thanks so much.

Hi sr, love that scooter. I have a Kymco Agility RS125 and plan to put Dr Pulley Sliders. My scooter canes with 13,5 g rollers, if I want similar top speed what weight I need? Same weight as original ones? Thanks in advance and greetings from Chile
Alvaro Sánchez if you are a lighter person. You can add weight to increase your top speed. But it makes it a bit slower off the line Putting lighter weights in makes it quicker and uphill faster, but a little slower top end.
@@KMJ187 thanks. I'm like 90 kg aprox. Use is for city commuting exclusively. I think 1 or 1.5 g less is a good starting point.
Alvaro Sánchez city commuting. Try 12s to go quicker. If that’s too low try 13s. You can also mix half 12s and half 13s to get 12.5
@@KMJ187 thanks KMJ
series please about big ruckus please please please
Any chance you may have place where you purchased the contra spring? I can not find it anywhere. My best guess, polini 243.072 or 243.073. Maybe other?
It’s been so long. It’s a CN-250 Blue Contra Spring. They are out there as the CN 250 platform is copied and in a lot of products.
Hello my friend I was just wondering where to purchase this heavier contra spring and 21gr sliders you’re talking about and also what size jets are you using right now I just purchased a 2006 Honda ruckus and would love to do the modifications to it thank you very much for your help much appreciated in advance
alex silva 1. Contra Spring - your looking for a Blue Contra Spring for a CN-250 Engine. If you google you can find shops selling them, a lot of Chinese go karts copy the CN250 from Honda. 2. You can get the sliders anywhere amazon etc, 23x18 is the size you are looking for, my preference is 21G weight. 3. Google Jets R Us and you can find the Honda Big Ruckus under scooters, you want a 45 size idle jet, and a 102 Main Jet. If you do these mods (about $80 in parts) you will see a dramatic improvement in performance :)
ModdRocker Thank you so much for your help I really appreciate it I have ordered everything I just can’t seem to find the slightly stiffer clutch spring you mentioned in your video do you have a link where you purchased the clutch spring Thanks again
alex silva gokartsusa.com/performancegy6torquespring-1-1.aspx
alex silva CN250 is the engine model. It's copied a lot in China. So any CN250 based motor product works :)
Anyone know of a vid on how to remove carb on Big Ruckus? not sure what needs to be removed to access the carb??
Just remove the left side floor board and cover. The carb is up high. You can lose the carb bolts and roate it to have access to the bowl underneath and the Jets. It's about a 40 minute job start to finish.
You said "Crankshaft" but do you mean "Driveshaft"?
My splines are warped but not because it wasnt tightned correctly.
My clutch cracked up and got stuck while riding, somehow it twisted the splines.
The new driveshaft is only 41 bucks, but how much do you think it will cost to have it installed by a mechanic? If you happen to know,, thanks.
The variator does INDEED sit on the Crankshaft. The shaft the variator sits on with the splines, is coming directly off the crankshaft of the engine. If you messed up the shaft the variator sits on, you need to fully rebuild the engine. If you messed up the drive shaft that the clutch in the back sits on (different part) I would say a few hours of labor.
Ok, yeah,, I thought it was the driveshaft. So my Crankshaft splines are a bit warped.
Do you think I can still ride it at 15 20 miles per hour while waiting to make the money?
its 300 for a new shaft, but For someone to rebuild it, I have no idea. And then I need to buy some kind of rebuild kit? Arghh, this is fustrating. thanks.
phase1ny yeah that’s not a cheap job. I would guess $1000 or more? Good luck with that. The trade off is, you can get a ton of miles out of a fresh motor
You have the part numbers for the rear drive springs and belt you replaced it with?
I don’t have the part numbers. Was so many years ago. Mallossi Clutch Springs for the CN250. And Polini Contra Spring (Blue) for the CN250.
@@KMJ187 do you recall what color malossi springs?
@@erickhaughn2217 the mallossi came in a three pack. Yellow white and red. It came with all three. I went with the most mild of the three.
I know this is a old video, but I have noise in clutch any idea what it could be .. i Forster, “t’s a rattling sound”
It could be so many things. The ruckus has a normal “rattle” at idle. But there are so many moving parts in there - if it sounds problematic, just take the cover off and inspect while running
put a donation link and me and other will donate for your knowledge and approach!
I have a big ruckus and I weigh 170lbs? What size rollers/sliders?
23x18 sliders. Go with 22 or 23 gram :)
Do you have a part number for the Dr Pulley Sliders?

@@KMJ187 Thanks. I recall you saying you got the 21 gram weights, but I see 20 and 22 gram.
@@erickhaughn2217 I did get the 21 gram. Maybe another seller has them. How much do you weight? I’m 220lbs. If you are lighter than me you can go with 22gram. If heavier you can do 20gram. You can also mix and match. Put in 20 and 22 alternating and get the same effect as 21 gram. Lots of options with the rollers.
@@KMJ187 i'm about 220lbs....think i'll go with the 21gram....but oddly the Dr.Pulley site doesn't have them listed for the Big Ruckus....do I go with the kymco 300 ones?
@@mr.m325 they are the 23x18 sliders. That’s what you are looking for. Not so much by model. 23x18 :)
Where did you find that seat at?
Sent the stock seat to a place in Florida and had it reformed and recovered :)
what is the maximum speed? what weight of rolls?
moj garaż moje zasady I am running 21Gram Sliders with a heavier Contra Spring. It does around 75mph full open, but won't cruise at that speed. The lighter rollers allow it to launch faster and hold speed on hills where the bike previously slowed dramatically on hills.

You can still get parts at your local Honda dealer.
@@KMJ187 I checked with many Honda dealers told me that part is no longer available,also tried partszilla, no luck,my Son found a place in New Hampshire that specializes in that park, I should have it This coming Monday, I love my Big Rukus.
@@leroycook9887 the place in new hampshire has them or rebuilds them? i would like that information please :)

@@KMJ187 thanks for you assistance and really appreciated the very informative video
@@KMJ187 - Question, 8n the video you preferred the 21 gram variator but the link leads to a 23 gram. For normal use which would you recommend?
DG 1 link has a drop menu to pick the weight you want. I prefer 21G
@@KMJ187 Thanks, I ordered the 21 gram sliders from Buggyparts. Site did not say "side idle jet but I did see a 45 jet and a 102 jet that I assume is the main jet. Should I order those two things and do I need anything else. I saw somewhere something about a contra spring? Really appreciate your quick responses and expertise. I love my Big Ruckus and am trying to make it better!
curious ...how much Top End Speed do you lose .....anyone?
Not much at all. A couple mph. But the top speed you hit is better held vs the drops in the previous mph.
Is it 20x15
23x18
