If I had the extra space I'd get one, cheap fun!

jaemc 07-19-2011 09:10 AM

thats a fking sexy rx7...
do you have mods on your ruckus? i just bought one... xcept mine is lacking in powaa

SaviorSelf_666 07-19-2011 09:27 AM

Thanks!

Yeah we got lowered seats, lowered bars, pegs and some other little things. My buddy and I didn't do any performance mods we are thinking of doing the "gy6" swap later on.

$6 to fill it up on 94octane, 180ish km to a tank. $50/mo for full insurance incl theft etc.

Super cheap

Culverin 07-19-2011 02:29 PM

I could be mistaken, but I think 94 octane on your ruckus is kind of pointless. I'm running a 12:1 compression on my SR50, and it only ever needs 87.

Also, who did your powder coat? Looks so sexy. How was the quality? Holding up well?

SaviorSelf_666 07-19-2011 02:38 PM

It is pointless, but for 6 bux I don't really care. I never powdercoated. Rattle can green with some left over clear that had some red flake.

On a 4T, it doesn't matter. On a 2T, you better be running 94.

Matlock 07-19-2011 03:14 PM

LOL
That video is sweet.

Please don't fail me for this, but does a ruckus need a motorcycle license?

They look cool, I wouldn't mind owning one in the future.

49cc scooters with automatic transmissions require a Class 5.

Oh? I think my manual recommends 93 or better. But pretty much everybody on the forums has been getting weird results from high octane. Seems to handle better on low. Also, one of the guys was a field engineer or something. Did a lot of fuel testing, says the same thing.

I heard the Ruckus is some sort of block engine? Can't have a BBK drop in kit?

Kinda off topic but check this out lol

Wouldn't it be class 6 or 8? I don't think it would fall under 5, I could be wrong. Then again if you're already class 5 you could just take the knowledge test, pass and boom class 6L.

You dont need motorcycle license for anything under 50cc with automatic transmission

Culverin 07-20-2011 05:15 AM

I actually only have an N and I ride a 50cc scooter.
In some ways, getting the 8L is worse for me. With it, I can't ride after dark.

FreightShaker 07-20-2011 08:16 PM

I think i'll ride my Harley instead...

racerman88 07-31-2011 01:34 PM

I saw a guy riding a customized Ruckus in Richmond last week. The frame was custom painted a tangerine orange, had custom rims and a single sided swingarm.
Looked pretty nice as everything was done tastefully.

will a ruckus get up the sfu burnaby campus at a decent speed for a person that weighs 150?

LP700-4 09-07-2011 10:04 PM

Hmmm, maybe a Ruckus would better fit my needs of fun and transportation during high school. Not feelin like dropping 10G's+ on a sportbike.

Does RS approve of scooters and ruckus's? :D

bcrdukes 09-08-2011 12:31 AM

yes and yes

You probably won't be overtaking cars on the way up but you'll get there no problem. I used to ride a Yamaha BWS (50cc, 2-stroke) up to sfu burnaby everyday. A parking pass was only $35ish for the semester. Cheap gas, cheap parking, cheap maintenence. Scooters are great for commuting in the city.
