My summer ride

[rolla4me]

I meant use the engine from a big ruckus.

used 250cc honda engine is expensive plus i have to worry where to mount the radiator. I bought the yamaha riva 180 wrecked and it only costed me $150.

Nice little scoot.

I sold the ruckus last monday.. i was given an offer that i can't resist..

Well, you can always get another one and throw a Gy6 in it. I'm sure you'd be the first to do that...

I'm currently trying to decide on what to do with my gy6 based chinese scoot. I'm wanting to throw a wide wheel on it, stretch it, big bore and stroke it out to about 200cc's (or buy Kspower's prebuilt race motor with a JE forged piston). I blew a valve cover gasket on it and lost interest for a few weeks.

Sweet clean ruckus! How much mpg were you getting with that swap? Hopefully i can buy a used one and do a Gy6 swap...it is the popular choice! at least from what i read from totalruckus site.

GY6 swap is out of my picture.. I have 2 yamaha riva 200cc engine seating here complete with harness..

Do you still have the Riva carb on there? Or did you get an aftermarket version to bypass the Autochoke problem?
