Honda Ruckus / Scooter Thread
Got hit on my Metro today. Fuckin' elbow/shoulder are killin' me.
I got cut off by a guy turning left across my lane and instead of him just standing on the accelerator when he finally saw me, he just stopped in the middle of my lane. I grabbed both brakes hard and swerved- I nearly got around him but I clipped his rear bumper and it sent me flying.
Glad I was wearing all my gear!! Helmet and gloves saved me agood bit of pain.
Pics to come soon.

Damn, i was gonna offer to buy your final drive gear! lol.
And to the people who have CDI's, you might wanna watch out revving to the 10k area and beyond. I have read and experienced that when you start hearing a rattling that sounds like loose change in a pocket, that is your valve floating.
Im probably gonna swap the 45t final drive gear from a MET I to replace the 47t gear on the ruckus. Get a taller gear by ~6%.
