[ktvad2]

i have a honda ruckus that is a 50cc is this 1 a 50cc to?.

[XsuperflyguyX]

@ktvad2 yes

[hoga1856]

@XsuperflyguyX where did you get that mirror? Love the below the handle bar look

[XsuperflyguyX]

@hoga1856 Think I found them from my local shop.

[themomo6710]

Do you like the Zuma (BWs) I just saw it live and the wheels are big did you ever ride one?

[XsuperflyguyX]

@themomo6710 I have and they are fun and can be faster but I like the look of the ruckus look better.

[themomo6710]

@XsuperflyguyX Final decision, I'm getting the 2012 BWs, I always wanted a 4-stroke engine; I think it would last longer then a 2-stroke (I had a bad experience with a 2-stroke pocket bike)!

[XsuperflyguyX]

@themomo6710 The Ruckus is a 4 stroke...

[themomo6710]

@XsuperflyguyX Right, but the bws is a two passenger and has a dry under seat storage. What do you think? What's the best thing you like about your Rucku?

[XsuperflyguyX]

@themomo6710 Honestly the Zuma is great and it has alot that the ruckus doesn't but the ruckus has a very unique style and grabs alot of attention. Hard to go wrong either way.

[themomo6710]

@XsuperflyguyX Agreed, well said!

[themomo6710]

What is wrong with liquid cooled? I'm getting a vino good idea? do you like your Ruckus?

[XsuperflyguyX]

@themomo6710 Yeah sorry i actually meant liquid cooled... the vino is a great scoot i just like the ruckus more for its looks and custom scene...

[spidermath005]

How do you get the old gear oil out ???

[XsuperflyguyX]

@spidermath005 I use a syringe and tube, but many people just tip it over...

[spidermath005]

@XsuperflyguyX what do you mean just tip it over ???

[XsuperflyguyX]

@spidermath005 I mean put the scoot on the ground and lean it as far as you can...

[spidermath005]

@XsuperflyguyX And hgow much oil is supposed to go in ??? Can I put more than that ???

[XsuperflyguyX]

@spidermath005 yes fill it up till it starts to flow out...

[themomo6710]

What should I buy 2 or 4 stroke scooter? (air or liquid cooled) I'm thinking of getting a Yamaha BWs or the Vino witch one please?

[XsuperflyguyX]

@themomo6710 I would go with a 4 stroke air cooled but each have there plus and minuses.

[ninjafalco]

Sounds like you need a valve job. You've got lifter tick.

[leaver2006]

Hey within the last month my ruckus has started taking longer to accelerate... what do you think that is? Very cool vid by the way. Looks so simple.

[XsuperflyguyX]

@leaver2006 Could be a number of things... go check out totalruckus.

[jduenas32]

Ok so i'm gonna change the gear oil, and motor oil as well. How often should I do both of them? Also check out my page if you want I got a Ruckus as well, it's pretty tricked out

[jduenas32]

cool video. How much oil is supposed to come out?

[XsuperflyguyX]

Depends but around .7 liters.

[jduenas32]

You sure .7 liters? Thats seems like ALOT

[XsuperflyguyX]

My bad, .7 is the engine oil. I forget how much is the gear oil.

[jduenas32]

NO biggie I did it. ITs .1 liter.

[tcsantos12]

hey buddy i have a 150cc scotter( Excalibur) atutomatic and its been leaking trany fluid any pointers on how 2 correact that like its empty now i know because its jumping on the take off like skiping:(

[XsuperflyguyX]

Check your seals and make sure that the bolts are tight.

[datajockey03801]

How often?

[XsuperflyguyX]

Some like to do it every 500, I do it every 500-700 miles. I'd keep it around there, it is really cheap so why not.

[Pat5725]

After Is broken in.

Use Royal Purple Synthetic Gear Oil

[bastec666]

@Pat5725 yessir, only way to go, RP. Use royal purple for all my vehicle needs and it NEVER lets me down.

[Girak4949]

Is it alright to use synthetic gear oil?

[XsuperflyguyX]

Yeah however most people would suggest that you use regular oil while breaking it in.

[elihup]

I wouldn't eat that sour cream if I were you.
