2012 Ruck First Timer
Hey guys,
Well I was able to find a 2012 Black Honda Ruckus in Kansas City, MO, while I was on vacation. So of course I had to buy it...
Me on it for the first time!
I also got this awesome bag for under the seat. It rocks.
And of course I had to get an awesome brain bucket!

Re: 2012 Ruck First Timer
So what are the mods I should do when I have the money flowing again?
I am going to be DDing this bad boy down in Texas instead of my CRX. So I want to maintain the best mpgs possible!

Re: 2012 Ruck First Timer
Awesome pickup, appearance mods that appeal to you but performance I suggest a variator with weights to suit your weight. Upgraded shock helps too. I love my ruckus (even in the Texas heat) but it can become a money pit easy

Re: 2012 Ruck First Timer
Its for the transmission helps your acceleration vs top speed. Easy DIY and noticeable difference. And for the shock nearly any aftermarket is an upgrade, also choose one based on your weight 
Some basic google searches will answer a lot of questions

I ordered a Polini variator which came with multiple weights. I found a combo that worked best for me. It's a trial and error sorta thing ha

Re: 2012 Ruck First Timer
I felt the same way when I got my first one, said I'd just keep the stock motor and putt around like that, but next thing you know, I was building a bored and stroked gy6 haha.
They're pretty cool little scooters though. Do you ever see any scooters up in Billings?

Re: 2012 Ruck First Timer
Thanks guys. Only one mod so far. That is a set of chrome skulls on the valve stems. I ride the scooter to work and back everyday. I am at about 250 miles on it right now

Re: 2012 Ruck First Timer
Well darn near 700 miles are on her and all I have done was the chrome skulls that a buddy and I stole off of a car in our lot. (I work at a dealership) and changed the oil.
I love this thing but I am wishing it had a little more umph... Id love a 125 in her
