![How to make a Honda Navi faster [EPISODE 1]](/img/n.gif)
Just got my first bike today! It was the Navi of course, so I'd be very happy to be a beta tester! I literally paused your video and went to the dealer to pick up the bike lol. Thanks for helping me make up my mind!
Lol nice! Thanks for the support
What color did you get. I just bought the nut brown one.
🤪 L I T E R A L L Y 🤪
Great insight, I'm looking to dip my toes on the bike world and I've been checking the Navi out cause I'd use it 99% of the time in busy city traffic.
Also I though I went deaf on my right ear for a bit there LOL
Thanks for the vid!
Thinking on buying one as my first one. Definitely looking forward to some easy bolt on mods
Sweet! 🤙🏼
I'm so glad I found this video, I'm buying a Navi this weekend and still had some questions, you hit the nail right on the head. Thanks a lot.
Just bought my Navi in full, was disappointed to know that it is slow, but I'd love to see more of this and try and boost some extra juice out of it
I got you covered on the performance!!
After 300 miles the engine breaks in and should perform better. I've asked several owners if it was true and haven't heard a no yet.
@Domenik Yeah, my odometer just hit 324, and it definitely is more responsive now. Just gonna wait and see, but it seems pretty easy to build on either way!
Super informative video and I’ve watched like every Navi one. As a new rider I am trying to learn a lot of the things you mentioned.
Thanks for watching dude 🙏🏻💯
Great video! I'd be happy to be a beta tester and help out with new products. My Navi is still stock, so I'll be looking for carburetor tweaks, exhaust upgrade, and definitely CVT sliders or rollers ASAP! Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Me too. Need guidance. Max speed on mine is about 42-45. Help ! Lol
It is great that it comes with a center stand ,so you can do all your maintenance yourself easily.
It is a lot of Bang for the buck.
@@heritagehillsecurity8778Plus it’s a Honda, maintenance will be rare.
I believe the NAVI was marketed in India first. They've had the most practice saying it. And it seems they pronounce it both ways. It went to Mexico next. They use the tall A, not the flat A. Here we can call it what we want, doesn't matter. Cool video. I like my Navi, it's a fun commuter. But I can already see myself moving to a larger bike as soon as it's paid off.
this video helped me a lot man, thanks! I just bought my navi and im getting ready to ride it for the first time B)
Picking mine up Friday, glad to be a tester for parts! Looking forward to your upcoming vids
Hey Billy I was just wondering do you need a motorcycle license to drive this or not? Thanks bro I appreciate it enjoy your new vehicle!!
Honda Navi Gang!
Yaaaaaas!
Hey nice to see the vid on the navi. I was one of the guys you met in Casper at the dealership! Still want one for my first bike!
It was good to meet you! What an adventure it was!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing your experience. I plan on getting one soon. I’ll be a beta tester, too!
Imma get one this year so I’ll be in tune with all your vids 👌🏾
2023 from Mexico City.
Thanks man it helps a lot !!!
My husband and I are getting two in 28 days and counting. Yippy. He still has his big bike that I can ride on the back, which I like, But now I can ride side by side, and I am a beginner, well I have rode mini bikes . come on My Navi.!!!!!!!!
You will seriously LOVE IT! So easy to ride!
@@RollingWrench I bought one. I get it July 6th. Yippy
Been waiting for you to pick one up to start tinkering. Can’t wait to see what you come up with. 👍🏼
Honda East in Ohio does not charge destination and dealer set up is like $60. MSRP+tax+$60+registration. Nothing else. Go see them if ur in the area. Saved several hundred in 2021 on my daughters Polaris
Other dealers in the area know them too .. because of that
Great info!!!
@@RollingWrench love ur channel.. been watching for a few years .. son has a gy6 Chinese buggy. Your tips and tricks and been helpful. Thanks!
I can't wait to see the mods you do to the Navi I'm waiting for people to get into the mods for it
Thanks again for great video! Matt and Tia
Thanks Roy!
subscribed. Thanks for the video, i would love to be a beta tester but need to buy a NAVI first.
Just got a Navi. Would be open to beta testing. Definitely looking forward to customizing it
Navi Nation!
Love it now to get
Modded cheaply from 40 mph to 55
😉👍
Thanks for the review, congrats Tia. I like these alot, wish the ruck came with that motor, Will prob pick up one or Honda ADV150.
Carl O!! Those ADVs are sweet! They have the PCX motor
Would recommend a new pcx. Has a 160 cc motor with higher compression. Or wait till they put that motor in the adv.
@@dinospumoni8860 That would be a big step up in quality and price
@@dinospumoni8860 Id get an adv150, the pcx is for the city, I like having some offroad ability, I have a 2020 Ruckus now. I think the adv has plenty of power and some offroad chops.
It could be getting me ready for a Honda Rebel 1100 DCT. 😉
Thank you very much for this informative video! I was just wondering did you do a video on how to fix the pop noise? And how to tighten the chains for brakes... etc?
Dope, how tall are you?
5 10
Good review...couldn"t decide...now I really want to get one...thanks...I think it is better than a ruckus, for me...
It’s depends on your goals. Both are great bikes!
I’m down to be a beta tester, looking to get one next month , im in Mississippi, lmk cheers!,!
I’m thinking to get one
The steering lock location is also old school motorcycle. They have been there since I started riding in the 60’s.
True… rare on a scoot
I would definitely do beta testing if ya need. I live in east Aurora, and drive to cherry creek for work. I have already started modifying mine, but love to wrench!
Heck ya! I’ll keep you in mind for sure. Local 👌
Hello, I have a problem, I have a Peugeot Speedfight 1 100cc that recently seized up/heat seized. It was not tuned. I then changed the cylinder, piston etc. It now starts up right away, but after a while it dies all of a sudden (as if you had turned off the key) and then I can start it right up again, this usually happens when I go over 60 km/h or uphill.
When I changed the cylinder etc, I also cleaned everything thoroughly, such as the carburettor, intake, new air filter, new fuel filter (there was no fuel filter before) new spark plug. I also removed the oil pump and put a metalplate with a gasket over the hole instead, I now mix the oil directly into the gasoline.
Some other info that might be important.
- When I drive over 60 km/h, it starts to make a noise from the variator (CVT), it´s sounds quite a lot.
- When it died, I tried to start it again while it was rolling and then it started right away, but it made a noise from the variator, like something "let go" that had been seized up, like a rubber sound, maybe from the belt.
- The variator belt touches the variator cover on the inside and has grinded a cut in the metal.
- In the variator, where the weights are, the belt does not go down to the bottom of the wheel.
- The clutch bell had turned blue from the heat.
- The place where the connecting rod attaches to the crankshaft had turned blue from heat.
- There was no fuel filter on it before. But i now saw there is an internal fuel filter in the gastank, can it affect the vacuum if you now have 2 fuel filters.
Please help me.
Regards
Andree.
Navi - Burrito 🎉🛠️💪
Here in the Philippines it called Combi Brake when you brake in the rear it will give 70% on rear and 30% on front brake power.
Nice! Same. Can you get big bore kits cams there ?
@@RollingWrench We don't have HONDA Navi here, I have HONDA DIO 2021 which also a manual choke and both combi drum brakes front rear and carb type also.
Sure looks cold 🥶 near you for mid June. When will you be trying the Navi engine on a Ruckus? Interested in seeing how that works out.
I'll be a beta tester. Definitely would like to see a bit more power and top end. Great video.
i’ll be a tester, waiting to see what these navis can do
I'll test anything!
I'm really wanting one. Would be more accessible to the wife than a grom and cheaper than a trail 125.
We have a couple tomos , one stock and one honda clone swapped.
I would like to beta test some mods with you. I just purchased the reveno kit from your website. I want to do a carb swap for more adjustability but the option out right now don't seem like the perfect fit.
You're the only one that is close to the price I pay for. I pay $3200 in Florida was deliver to my house in the area I live they want 3700 and 4200 I went to a dealer 20 miles out pay $3200 total
Injoy your Brand new Honda Navi Tia! 🌹
Would love to be a beta tester on parts that would be better than what stock parts are currently on the NAVI. just got mine today. :)
Just got my Navi for my wife can't wait to modify. What about that back fire mine has the same thing going on.
3330 out the door price in California
Can't wait for the Vance and Hines exhaust
hello, good work, can you help me with a command, can you share the rear wheel and tire size you use for honda ruckus, please, thank you in advance
I bought two just in case one breaks down but I'm not expecting it to.
My first mod was the led DZG headlight mod conversion ac/DC battery swap, key activation now all i can say is outstanding improvement the same time front windshield install easy . also rear rack .
I have the Malossi variator. and a Kemimoto exhaust uninstalled for the 125 mods are required i heard , waiting for complete break-in. before upgrading.
I have just over 1000. Miles ,
At first oil change I installed the ruckus magnetic oil plugs , to help the no oil filter issue.
I have also installed a the run leader tech need a good bracket (please help) .
As well as the the Extractme. 6.8 double usb/volt meter. nice mod.
A (imestou) phone mount/charger that easily holds my sam. Note 9 .
To round out the front I add the svHelix cup holder .
I am a big guy so some mirror extenders where a must $20
I also have the left brake lever.
Also a Drift Ghost XL sport/dash camera mounted on a
Smallrig cool ballhead arm super camera clamp . $19.00 mounted to the windshield headlight protector bars .
very nice construction on the clamp.
A JFG Racing expanding
tail bag/back pack only one issue just prelube the zipper. $63.00 .
Oniavn 2 pac. Alarms 1 for under seat the other in the tail bag, the remotes fit nicely in the gas door top,
as well a small pull-out automatic cable lock i use for attaching my helmet to the motorcycle also stores under the gas door . A motorcycle cable lock stored in the rear bag .
I know you thought I was done except for a red 38oz gas bottle in a strap on soft tie closing motorcycle accessories bag.
I have only one other interest a bolt on performance carb mikuni or better with filter kit and jets please at least a winter project
I do like the (swapshop). Performance gains i don't like the new cable,special adaptor, rubber sleeve, extra choke cable.
OMG a simple bolt on carb well do .
Please feel free to ask questions
I love my Navi more then my GL1800 loaded for the city/urban riding this can't be beat for sheer enjoyment and practicality.
Sheeeesh! You have been busy! You have some great mods! I can’t wait to get to work on our parts. But it probably won’t happen until fall.
I read all that and as a non-biker, it was like learning Latin ….or Shakespeare (and I’m a Brit lol)…I’m sure alot of it will make sense in time
Do you need to turn the gas off every time? Same thing happened to me lol
It’s good practice to turn it off when not riding
You should do a GY6 swap kit for a Ice Bear Mini Max 50...I think that would be pretty sick
Bro please! what is ur rim called for the "stock size" honda ruckus gy6 build I cNt find it anywhere!
When is the website going to be getting inventory back in stock?
That’s a loaded question. What are you referring to?
@@RollingWrench 80cc pistons and rings the valve adjustment tool items like that. That are not in stock.
hell yeah I want to be a beta tester. I was waiting to hit 300 miles on mine to do some performance upgrades. Im almost there. Hit me up for sure
I’ll announce the products on instagram when I’m ready. Be sure to follow us
I'm interested in being a beta tester. I own a Navi as well and live in the south Denver area!
Edit: MAN!! I used to bring my Zuma to you guys for service. It just clicked 🤦♂️
The steering lock isn't really "wierd", it's just how they used to do it 20+ years ago.
Weird for a scooter. I’m used to seeing these on vintage motorcycles
@@RollingWrench oh for sure.. I'm not sure scooters often even have steering locks! Lol
Do some varistor modification on Navi tooo...from Kerala indiaaa
Yes sir I was driving all though the night son I feel you I gotta marry this girl now she’s a soldier bringing my car back home from upstate
I had a dealer tell me it was going to be about $4200 out the door for a NAVI. I told him thanks for your time but it’s not coming out the door then!
Are people really paying those prices?
Why wouldn’t you just buy a GROM at that point?
Anything over $2400 is mark up.
Sheeesh!!
True
Damn where do u live 🤣
@@niggasinparis666 PA but I think this is just a dealer problem! He has one and evidently the other dealers around here don’t. I just laughed! I can buy a nice used sport touring bike for less and let’s be honest about it a big part of the NAVI cool is the low price!!
Could one buy a Navi then trade it in for a higher cc Honda?
Ya
I’m curious want causes the exhaust pop.
It’s the pair valve. It adds the un burned exhaust gases back into the pipe. This makes it seem lean. I have a fix… sit tight :-)
Couldn't you have it delivered? There's tons of trucking companies.
We wanted it quick! And didn’t want to pay a company
This reminds me of a Miata, how? Because you know when you’re buying, therefore “you know the ups and downs”, it’s a personal choice, and I think it’s a great one. ENJOY Y’ALL,
Mine is incoming 😁
Saaawwwwweeeeeet! You will love it!
Are you selling parts soon?
I wish I could be one of your beta testers
CanI be a beta tester in San Diego CA?
She did better then you on the review 😂! Love the vids man
Lol she is better at everything
Bro need a modification version of this.
Soon ! :-)
That’s one special bike
Lol true
I would love to be a beta tester
Considering about buying one just afraid I’m to tall and would look goofy
Go test one at a dealer
I’m glad I Live in miami where everything I want is 5 minutes away.
I’m jealous dude! Love Miami
Cool bike has more brakes than power😂 but a like it.
I'd be glad to be a beta tester.
I’ll keep all of you posted
I can do some of the beta testing and also upload my testing on to my channel 52FZL WurkZ
I’ll keep you in mind brother 👌💯
That soda is flat now
My right ear was lonely
Beta Tester Bro we got a little navi club on Panama Central America keep us in mind
Navi in India mean kind to people.
Good to know :-) 🙏🏻
So...whos swapping the navi into the ruck frame? 😈
I think it’s to slow to swap. I know some who swapped a Navi motor into a metro
$3700 out the door in southern cali
Yaaaa…… :-(
Love to be a beta tester my Navi is bone stock
American drivers worried about a little snow and ice on the road, hilarious!
Not fun when your in a hurry
The Eco Boost are crap! Look it up. Sorry that you gave up the Tacoma for a Eco Boost
Yaaa, it was just a rental. I personally would never own one. But it did have a lot more balls then my old Tacoma.
A cyclist does not not simply "drive a car". (Don't take this to seriously)
Lol
Woh, thanks for the reply man!
I am the opposite I am going from Harley-Davidson motorcycle to small Navi in the area I live is better a small Navi so I don't ride my Harley
It’s pronounced naa-vee btw. An Indian name.
👌
Get a navi and gy6 swap it and put fattys in the back. With a lowered rear would be sick
Heck yaaa 💯
Love Mexican Coke….real sugar….
I feel like Honda is really just wasting their time with this… They already have the Honda ruckus for the scooters they already have the Honda Grom for the little sports bike and they already have a Honda CBR crotch rocket… The last thing I think we needed was another Honda that can’t even do 40 miles an hour for you and I have to spend another 4 to 5 grand just to modify it the way you want it to have it be a decent bike
This is the perfect bridge from scooter to motorcycle. It still has no gears or clutch lever but has a foot brake and rides like a motorcycle. The next step would be a grom with a shifter and clutch. In my opinion it’s placed perfect. Top speed is 52 mph
I wouldn’t own anything eco boost ford makes internal water pump , no thank you
I’m no ford guy.. that’s for sure. It is an interesting motor though
If your thinking of getting this for your first bike do yourself a favor and get a real bike 250-400CC and with a clutch you need to learn how to clutch
It depends on your end goals, this is a real bike, with a scooter drive train. I mean my first bike was a 600cc ninja… lucky for me it worked out…. But what a horrible idea that was. This bike is easy to ride for anyone, that’s the beauty
Why you talk like that…. It’s annoying, good video though.
Yes, frickin, freakin, super…please stop talking like this.
Sucker, sweet, oh yeah, sody (soda), and dope too.
Hello, I have communicated with the reseller providers and Mr. Louis told me to contact you but I cannot communicate with you. I need parts for my racing project. Plz @Rolling Wrench
