PREPARING YOUR RUCKUS FOR THE BDX HEAVY DUTY GY6 MOUNT (SUPER BOLTS) [6,833 views] |

Instructions on how to prepare for the much larger (Super) bolts in our BDX HD GY6 Mount Kit for Honda Ruckus NPS50.
Preparing your frame bushing to accept our BDX 5/8" super bolts is pretty easy. Actually, it can be adequately summed-up in about 3 steps. Let's get started!
You should only need a 7/16" drill bit. However, if your this if your first time performing this upgrade, a 15/32" and/or 1/2" might be needed as well depending on your learning curve for the proper technique. The rotary file pictured most likely won't be needed, but is a handy last resort. The bits all need to be new or very sharp. You can most likely do this with the frame still on the bike, but it's easier with the frame in a table vice.
1. Start drilling with the 7/16". The isolator bushing will begin heating up. Go very slow and easy until about half way down, we don't want too much of a heat differential in the rubber. Don't worry about cooling the bit, it's counterproductive in this situation and the sleeve isn't hardened so the bit won't catch very much extra wear at all. Just a mention in case you were wondering, keeping sharp bits is a big deal around here for production purposes, but you might not be too particularly concerned either way.
2. Once you get about half way, run the drill as fast as possible through the rest of the sleeve an begin applying pressure slightly. This should heat up the sleeve enough for the rubber to let go and spin out.
3. If the inner sleeve doesn't come out in one pass, step up to the next size drill bit and repeat from step 1.
4. The hole you end up with is slightly less than 5/8", which provides a perfect interference fit for our 5/8" bolt. When assembling the bolts to your BDX GY6 Mount, be sure to use Loctite 272 or similar "permanent" thread locker on the threads. Even though it is designated as permanent, don't worry, you will be able to remove the bolt later with at least a good 12" or longer socket wrench.
Congrats, you've been supersized!
