super duper "Im not going to mod it" cooper just came over on his second "stock" ruckus he swore he wasnt going to mod/ Its already got tons of shit done to it. Hes like a mentally challenged kid that you tell not to do something. He just cant help himself

Trying to install a led tail. PO left me with no instructions. blah.

All it has is a red, white, black, and 2 yellows. On the ruckus end, there are quite a few more wires, none of that color.

Anyone have any tail light schematics or wiring advice handy?

Dude... It's simple. Just test them out! Same lights taking the same load shouldn't have an issue if you hook up the wrong ones. FTW. Lol We can test it out tomorrow night maybes.

riding these things is exactly like driving an e30m3. its all momentum driving. you let off and youre fucked. the throttle should just be an on/off switch

Talyor, youve hit 44? Fack

yes sir. once the belt and variator broke in, it gets along pretty good now. I should have installed one at a time instead of all at once

I paid 1500 for it. I'm not really sure how that compares to the rest of the country but I'm in New Orleans, LA. I've seen 3 Ruckuses on CL in the past month and each one had several people looking to buy it. I was actually able to put it in my Honda Fit on the way home.



After toying around today, it looks like I can't get past 37-38 mph without going to an airstrip or something. I'm 175 lbs, so I thought I might be able to break 40 mph. I'm going to try pumping up the tires a little more and see if that helps. If not, I might look into tuning the carb. I won't do much though, if I wanted something faster I would have bought a MadAss or a 150cc scooter.

The scooter does great on 25 mph streets. It can keep up with traffic on 35 mph streets, but you won't be passing anyone. You pretty much drive it on full open throttle 100 percent of the time no matter what you are doing.

a big problem the stock GET motors have are being overfilled with oil. Check the dipstick, you want the oil in the middle of the hash marks not at the top. I weigh 250lbs and I have seen 75kph on flats with a digital speedo none of that stock bizniz. So im sitting anywhere from 44mph-48mph almost at all times. A little faster on the downhill. Ive got a variator, kevlar belt, mixed 5.6 and 6.9 gram rollers, intake and a CDI ignition from BattleScooter.com. Also make sure your tires are properly inflated for a better speed. Also keep in mind that the official break in period of the ruckus from the dealer is 600 miles so until you get there, dont really stress a mph or 2. you'll see it. But honestly the best thing you can do for a ruck to go faster is lose weight haha.
