I bought a 2008 Ruckus two years ago with only seventy miles on it. It still had the pips on the tires. It had sat in a shed with a leaking roof over since new. Fuel tank had filled with water and was rusted beyond repair. Replaced from tank to carb all new, cleaned carb that was fortunately very good. Borescope to cylinder from spark plug hole - bright shiny piston and crosshatch on cylinder. New battery and an oil change. Total invested inclusive of Ruckus $800.00. Over seven hundred miles of fun since, these things are just amazing in quality and durability. Really enjoy all your excellent videos!

Hi Mitch, This is the third video I have seen of yours and I just have to say you do some of the best mechanical /instructional videos out there ( and no added big ego like some others ) , you are obviously a good friend to have, everyone seems to agree with me, and I wished you lived on my block to share a beer. My feeling it would do you good to approach Honda HQ with your videos and I would bet you $100.00 they would give you a job doing mechanical/instructional videos such as this. You have a lot to offer and untapped potential I can see you going far with what I am mentioning. I hope you consider to do so. Please keep us updated with your own progress in life. Bravo and congrats .Kevin

I have just recently stumbled across some of your videos, very great work and informative :-) I also like how you show your mistakes as well so other can learn as they are doing these DIY maintenance tasks. After being a motorcycle rider for almost 40 years, I am contemplating on getting a scooter myself to ride to/from my office or short trips to the grocery store with. I like the maintenance simplicity and storage capabilities of a scooter and being that I don't do road trips on two wheels anymore. Something in the 125cc range would work well enough and still give me my "2-wheel kicks". Again great job and keep up the good work!

Hey Mitch, The best ruckus maintenance video I’ve ever seen. I’ve cleaned out my carb/jets way too many times, Ha! The one thing I’d recommend you Tell your subscribers is to put non-ethanol gas in the Ruckus, especially if you’re storing it for long periods of time or over the winter. I do that in all my bikes, chainsaw, power washer, Weedwhacker, lawn mower, go ped.

Hi Mitch, I love your videos. Keep up the great work. I have a 2011 Ruckus that's been sitting awhile. I replaced the air tube and made sure the air box is sealed tight. The fuel pump was clicking loudly at first but now it's not clicking. It starts and idles fine and runs good until about 3/4 open throttle where it bogges out and wants to die. I think the fuel pump is dying, what do you think? Thanks Mitch!

Love the videos Mitch! I recently bought a 2013 Honda Ruckus, but it has a choke issue that the previous owner told me about & he replaced it with an after market part from china, so it's having a problem staying running when I start it. Any videos, or ideas you can direct me too?

If you buy a used Scooter my advice is empty the fuel tank. Use a oil dipstick pump if needed. I bought a 1 year old Ruckus. It had some oil in air box from laying on side. I replaced air filters, changed oil. Still ran bad. Surging. I was getting ready to replace fuel pump. The fuel was a really light yellow. I think the previous owner must have put a fuel stabilizer. Any way it ran but had a surging under load. Replaced fuel and runs great now.
