The one major pain on these is fuel pump and non drainable carb along with ethanol in the gas. If they sit any length make sure you run them. The carb will gunk up fast when sitting. Most carbs have a screw drain to flush the bowl or empty. The gas sits in this bowl. Fuel pump is needed because the tank sits under the floor boards. I am on the 3rd fuel pump on our 16 with only 600 miles on the bike. If you use it frequently and are in a good climate where you can drive all year long you probably won’t have these issues. Get gas without ethanol if you can ethanol is terrible for these. Getting some off road small engine high octane non ethanol fuel is great but sometimes hard to come by. Having said all that these bikes are awesome!! They could benefit tremendously from fuel injection which would eliminate fuel issues snd get rid of the auto choke which is also touchy. The ruckus is not a fan of cold climates they love it warm!
FINALLY - someone finally showed a video of them actually sitting on the bike so we can better judge how we might fit on it, too. So many guys just show us the road as they go cruising around their city. That tells us a lot about where they live but not much about how we might enjoy the bike they're on.
I just bought this! 2024. It's identical to your paint scheme. It's wonderful.!
HI! I just bought one of these as well...same color...TODAY! Have fun!
unless you bought it in Europe it's most likely not fuel injected and just carbureted.
Canada is also PGM-FI.
How tall is it to the top of the handle bars (not the mirrors) from the ground? Just bought two of them & have to pick them up in a Ford Explorer. (taking a 60" wide 500 lbs hitch mounted rack in case they both don't fit inside.) Thanks.
How do you change the tires, and flushing the coolant and replacing it with the right coolant?
I love mine, had it since 2005, I'll never sell it. Top speed is 37 mph.
What about up a hill?
I was just up in the Sierra riding some pretty steep hills at high elevation, I believe it slowed to 20-25. I wasn't in any hurry, I was camping. I weigh about 185@@SWEETVENOM100
@@armadilllo perfect! Thanks for the reply. I’m getting MY24 this weekend but live up a steep hill. 25 would work but anything slower and I’d be in the bushel lane hahah
@@SWEETVENOM100 Only a 50CC engine, so slow.
I LOVE BRICKNICK
Me too i love bricknick spears❤
super cool video! i might have to pick on of these up. i live in the mountains of Pennsylvania and a round trip into town is 20 miles. this might save me some gas
Hills aren't it's friend I'm in CT it's still useful and fuel efficient but it's just not super speedy up the hills
I wouldn't buy a moped if you live in Pennsylvania lol, too many hills
Induction: 18mm CV carburetor with automatic choke
Iam gonna raise handle bars instead of lowering seat
So how many miles can u get from a 1.3 gallon fuel tank on this roughly?
about 120 miles depends on speed have one love it
I’m in NY.. do I need an M license, or insurance, or dmv reg?
if it goes over 30mph u need a m license
is there any major difference between the 23’ and the 24’ or is it just color
Think it’s looking like just color
Color choice is about it unfortunately.
There isn't a major difference between 2014 and 2024 - Super reliable but I wish they would have at least made some changes over the years. Still have both of my mine and love them after all these years.
Yes a major diff is 3 and 4
Older models say made in Japan for most parts New ones don't..same parts but feel cheaper other than color and few wires plugs they are the same I've owned plus 5 of them modded and stock currently own a 2024 love theses bikes
Since when are these liquid-cooled
Since its release
Since always.
When has it not just been a color change. And when before that
@7:28 and a U-lock
does it use a carb or is it fuel injected
Carburetor
Only EU models use Fuel Injection
If I am going to buy a scooter, I want one with storage and that is something the Rukus does not have which makes it a deal breaker.
I just bought one today. I really had NO idea how much storage it didn't have. Not even a HOOK for a bag, a cup holder, ....NOTHING!! LOL!
Not for me, I still prefer the old Ruckus design and layout, which is practical and easy upgrade suit each individual taste.
What year was the OLD design. I wanna look it up.
Most places your looking at about 3800$
I’m seeing 2300 where I’m from. Not bad
most places *MY* looking at?????
its carbureted not fuel injected
These are carbureted in America.
Honda should stop designating model years for the Ruckus pretty much nothing has changed since her release in 2002 lol. I think it's time for Honda to update the Ruckus a bit with a set of disk breaks LED headlights tail lights and signals. Sure it would end up costing more but I would be willing to pay a bit more for that. They also need to change use a 2 stroke engine instead of a 4 stroke. Sure you're losing a bit of fuel economy but you're gaining more power and top end there.
Hell no, this is iconic and it doesn't need change
@@psych3009 Just because it's an iconic scooter doesn't mean It couldn't use some improvement. Honda keeps raising the price every year with no upgrades whatsoever. This scooter needs to be brought into the 21st century.
@@zeppast **Honda keeps raising the price every year with no upgrades whatsoever**
The cost of materals, transporting and labor goes up every year.
@@ValkyrieRiderIPT That's true but l still think the old Ruckus could use an upgrade. l think it comes down to the lack of competition. There really aren't many large brands that manufacture 50cc bikes anymore. Who else Genuine and the rest are all Chinese brands. Honda really has 0 incentive unfortunately.
@@zeppast The Ruckus isn't a touring bike. It's designed for young 1st bike riders. 50cc is plenty big for kids under 15. For adults, it's perfect for putting around town like the Honda Cub was. If you're wanting to customize or boost the power, there's aftermarket parts available.
Ma crainte c ' est de savoir si les pneus évacuent bien l ' eau rapport à leurs formes ballons moins profiler que sur les Yamaha BWS .
On ne craint rien. On essaie et on constate... allez, courage !
@@cibsim C ' est pour ma nièce de 15 ans .
Yah definitely not fi if in America
Should of made it a 125
It looks like it can just barely get out of it’s own way…😊😊
I agree - at this point they should have easily been able to stick a 125 in there especially seeing most folks rip out the GET motor and stick a GY6 in there now. I have one of each and the stock motor is much more reliable but much less fun.
If you could get 10km/hr more out of the 49cc I'd be content.
66km is about as much as I can achieve when 70-75 would be a gamechanger.
But 125cc makes no sense since you're stepping on Grom territory. But the main issue is anything over 49cc and it would require a motorcycle license.
@@grahamchan4266 Excellent point - I always forget that the 49cc is usually the motorcycle endorsement cutoff in most states.
@@andrewlorangeryessir, that’s how it is here in Illinois. 49cc limit.
*have, not of😊
Ihave a 125 grom,135 miles per gal and 90k per hr....way better..or a 125 yammaha BWS,WAY BETTER INVESTMENT,
no fuel injection yet? no thanks
I've been riding mine since 2005, never had one problem with it. Fuel injection is something to break and not be able to get home. Just more computer crap to worry about.
I have to wait for the dang thing to warm up every time I drive it. In Europe, all the Ruckus are FI.@@armadilllo
@@armadilllo Fuel injection is so simple a monkey can fix it if it ever breaks. But it never does.
it has a carb. do your homework first please
get a life ass
Seems it is not fast enough for typical traffic, and appears to be using a slushy centripetal clutch 🤮
Unless you are only riding to the village, get a real starter bike.
crap advice or say in your case. how do bicyclist get along nation /world wide doing 15 mph av.? morning rush hr 60 mph flow is a iffy/don't but most of the time stay right 35-37 mph good to go. now day /evening country rd ride ruckus is king.
@@jrnumex9286 You would get run off the road at 35mph in my city..
Thats not a "dashboard", bruh.
