r/Ruckus

Is it just a bad belt? Or am I looking at something more pricy?

How can I prevent wind from tipping over my bike with the cover on? Facing it in the direction of the wind helps, It happened twice in the season...btw this is the only location where my apartment complex allows me to park the bike, would a 20lb dumbbell work on the floor board? Have you guys ever dealt with this? It ripped a hole in the side of the cover and now I have to replace it, it's got a thick 6ft cable lock wrapped around a solid metal pipe where the water drains behind it next to that manhole cover, geo fence, alarm, GPS tracker, steering lock, cover, and an owner with a gun in Texas that sleeps 12ft away from where it's parked. Always locked. Window slightly open for disturbances in the force. Plus it helps me breathe.

Gonna put the original seat back on because the storage space will help.

Add a rear rack and cargo box of some sort.

New belt, plug, oil change, and air filter on the way.

Any tips / advice?

As the title says, the front panel of the battery box mounts crooked — as well as everything attached to it. I assume that the bracket that it attaches to is somehow attached to the body in a way that is off center but I don’t even know where to begin with that. I took it off and put it back on several times so I’m sure it’s not just me putting the box on incorrectly. The previous owner must have done something strange — I received it like this with only one outer screw to attach the panels.

One of the biggest concerns for me is that the beam of the lights is crooked as a result.

Can’t tell if I like the idea

Maybe I’ll gain those 5mph
I’ve been looking for-

Hahhha

I won this in a giveaway years ago and no longer have my ruckus :/

Cleaned out carburetor and fuel tank, replaced fuel filter and old fuel lines. fresh fuel and still no start. I can spray some starting fluid into the carb and starts right up briefly. Leaning toward a fuel pump but seems to supply fuel just fine. Any thoughts?

2015 with 1300 miles. Have slowly been going through all the maintenance on it. Runs great and is a blast to ride despite how slow it is lol.

Planning on doing some cosmetic mods as I’m not a huge fan of the red and white. In the future I might tune it for better acceleration.

Hey everyone, any advice is appreciated. Ruckus wants to turn over but isn’t really wanting to idle now. I just replaced the spark plug, changed oil, put the factory airbox back on, just the factory jets back in, tried adjusting the idle screw, carb has been cleaned.

It’s not running right as I’ve been doing this rebuild. If anyone has any other advice I’d appreciate it as I’m getting pretty frustrated. Could it possible be I need a new fuel pump and filter? Seem odd since it was running last week with a different jet and air intake set up. But maybe. Please let me know. Thank you

Tachometer installed, waiting on the postman to drop off parts tomorrow!

Polini variator, Forsa shock and Dr. Pulley sliders.

When I had bought my Honda ruckus, someone else had butchered up the battery mount. I went with a smaller and stronger new battery with the GY6 swap so made this to prevent the battery from sliding around. And yes, I know I put the clip .5” too far forward. No I probably won’t fix it lol

Hey all, I recently went for a ride in Jersey and basically had the throttle open all the way and maxing out at 40mph for continuous stretches. Is there any issues with that? I have a stock ruck.

Was riding my ruckus today went to get some food came out it wouldn’t start. Put some gas in it after about 2 mins of starting it it finally fired up, but barely ran was able to get it home 20 miles back still wouldn’t idle. had a new belt to put on so put it on then it wouldn’t start at all lol. It has spark it’s getting fuel. Won’t even fire with starter fluid straight into the intake. guessing it may be low compression as i can push the kicker down with 1 finger. Any help would be appreciated
