Hey all, I noticed a problem with the way my Ruckus runs when it is on the stand. I had it on the stand and reved it up to warm it up and all it does it sputter, backfire, and put out dark smoke. It only does this while on the kickstand. After I sit down and take off it operates normally. Even after it is well warmed up it still doesn't run right on the kickstand. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks

Wow..... that sounds strange. I would suggest to check all of the usual suspects. Check the spark plug, air filter, gas filter. You may need to change the oil and or clean the carbuerator.

Heres just a guess... revving it on the stand allows the motor to redline, the rev limiter kicks in cutting out the spark, the extra fuel fills the combustion chamber until it sparks off again... this all equals rough sounding engine and a very rich mixture being burnt.

Have to ask. Is the oil over filled  |

No, the oil isn't overfilled, and I doubt it has to do with redlining because this problem occurs at mid throttle if the engine is hot or cold. It is starting to support at full throttle when I'm riding it now and yesterday the temperature light came on so I shut it off and stopped riding it. Haven't been on it since. I haven't checked the spark plug or carb or filters yet because I haven't gotten any tools since I've recently moved. Anyone else have any ideas about this problem?

It might sound silly but it sounds like bad gas, probably water in it, use it untill the low light comes on and fill the scooter from a known good gas station |

The temp light thing? That's weird. When that comes on the motor will run in safe mode. Did you notice that? It goes slow and sputters. |
