I'll be able to get 10hp and 55 MPH for half the price of a dio build. Plus I will last longer than a strung out two stroke. Please let me know your opinions. If dio motors were readily available I'd go, that route, but if someone wants a swapped scooter a gy6 is a no brainer for cost/performance.

ls1s are badass motors out of the box for what they are and are some of the most swapped motors around.... not to say there is anything wrong with bmw motors though....graphite9 wrote:True. But I'm also on a BMW forum where guys swap ls1's into them all day long. I guess this forum has more puristsnoiseguy wrote:Dude... you're on a board that's oriented around Japanese built 2-stroke bikes. Why are you surprised?
It's like going onto a Camaro board, talking about how you're going to swap in a Mopar 383 into a Camaro, and then being shocked when no one thinks it's a good idea.

because they are CHEAP! not because of the great quality (which depends on what day,factory,and material used) not everything made is china is terrible, but you get what you pay for.... if Honda has a 150 that could be swapped just a easy and for a lil bit more you would see that instead of the Chinese motor....graphite9 wrote:If the gy6 motors are so terrible then why are guys swapping them into ruckuses, and not swapping two strokes in.
Building a GY6 is like building a small block chevy, any moron can do it, hence boring. Oh and how many engines have you built in your life to be able to recognize boring when it slaps your ignorant face?graphite9 wrote:That's an ignorant statement. I challenge you to ride a yz or crf450 and say its boring. They have a timing chain/cam/valves. That's it. And they last longer without a rebuild.

as quote Graphite.That's an ignorant statement.
That's good.graphite9 wrote:No pm's no hurt feelings here. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions. Calling 4 strokes in general, boring, is ignorant. The gy6 will also be supplying me with a rear disk setup.

As far as i know, the fast ruckus tend to do the yamaha grand axis swap, which is a 100cc 2t. I think you'll see more gy6s just because they are dirt cheap and most ruckus owners would rather put 3k into deep dish bling wheels and such rather than have a quick scoot!graphite9 wrote: And they last longer without a rebuild.
