There is a dude we rode with for the richmond meet that had put 20kish miles on his ruckus. He went a 3 month road trip with it. He was also on his second motor too.

Can't you guys just rebuild them? Must be cheaper than a whole other motor?

A whole motor with low mileage (somewhere between 100-1000 miles) can be had for maybe 300 bucks shipped. With so many people swapping engines they are cheap to get a hold of. Rebuilding might cost maybe 100-150 depending on what is wrong. Like my engine spun a rod bearing and to get a new one it was going to cost me about 200 to fix it not to mention the money for gaskets and such.

So it is most of the time just worth it to swap to a new motor.
