Maintenance Free??

at 300 miles I changed the oil twice, checked the spark gap once just for fun and soon plan to take it apart just to see it go together again. I'll do another oil change then. I got another 3 MPH top end with the first oil change.

I'm gonna maintain that thing like it was an aircraft.

I bought a used ruckus last year(the last user were a NOOB and never did ANYTHING to it) for 200$. it has 13000km. the first thing I had do is to completely take it apart and check if everything is conform to the service manual.... everything were ok except for variator's rollers and belt. now I am at 13500 and it run at 38mph(60km/h)... the rucks are the stongest scooter I had ever seen. my friend have a yamaha bws and he blow up his engine at only 4600. back to mu ruck, the only problem I had is a oil leak(lost almost all my engine oil in 15km) but now ist solved(check the PAIR valve post in the performance section for more informations)

i also do my maintinence like a nut but i believe preventive mantinence is very good for it and i will get repayed for it when the ruck has 20,000 on it and still running strong i change my oil 2 times a year once in spring and fall then i also replace airfilter once a year drive components(belts,rollers and a good cleaning once every two years. radiator fluid every 2-3 years oil screen,carburator cleaning,gear oil only once and prob wont do that till it hit 6 or 7 thousand miles. and the fuel filter only once but this should be repace once a year im just too lazy to replace that piece. but preventive maintience is the key to performance and reliability.i get 39 mph out of my ruck and it has 4,025 miles on it and running strong

I have 10,700 KM on my 05. I changed the oil 3 times before 2500, then went to the Honda recommendation of every 2500KM. I use synthetic oil (since 2500).

I have not changed a spark plug, filter or anything other than the oil.
