What year Ruckus are you working on?
I'm guessing the intake snorkel is loose or the main jet is clogged.

I am with Sanjuro on this one it sound like a loose intake, checkall your intake connections and make sire they are tight, and all the hose connected, if everything checks fine, also check the two bolts that hold the intake manifold to the head  Good luck

It doesn't sound like a tight valve to me because I've had that and normally the first thing you notice with a tight valve is that it gets harder and harder to start as you lose compression. Since it idles okay it's probably not that.
The stock airbox/intake on the Ruckus is somewhat restrictive so if you remove the airbox cover for example and try to ride it'll just totally cut out. If you have a major air leak somewhere then this could be what you're experiencing.
