Honda Ruckus / Scooter Thread
Picking up my ruckus later on today. Do these things come with titles? Buying it used. Needs a new rear tire. Anyone mount thief own? And need a right mirror. If anyone has one laying around let me know.
I think you will need one or more of the following: a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin, Bill of Sale, or a Title. I think there are other things too.
Duh. The advancement is to compensate for the higher RPM. With my record, I don't need to go any faster.
They normally go hand-in-hand. I imagine the CDI advances timing to compensate not just for the high RPM, but for the lower octane fuel as well. 87 won't light/burn as thorough as 93. Putting in 93 would require an even further advancement in timing, and your scoot would run like shit at lower rpm's, unless you re-tuned for that as well. (As far as I know, there's no such thing as an adjustable CDI for the GET. The gy6 however...) Basically retard timing down low, but advance up high for. Think diesel vs gasoline, or gasoline vs methanol.
