WOW!!! thats a whole bunch of miles 13,353!!! Gotta be a 2002. Who did all that ridin!? As for Max Power, if that's your max, it's time to check it out.Should be around 60kph stock. If your oil's high that could be holdin you back. Our you might have some wear in the drive with all those miles.

Whew At first I thought that was MPH and I was going to say, Dio Forks and disc brakes, but then my color blind senses found the little mph and the big kph. That's a lot of butt time on a little bike. Congrats ;D ;D

Thanks guys. The scooter is stock as of right now, but we'll be taking it into the scooter shop this week for a CDI and Variator modification, and that should help out a little bit. Then onto a new pipe and some exterior mods. Already got new slick tires on it to replace the knobbly ones, and it rides much better. And yea there is a lot of milage for a scooter..but it was bought with 20,000 kms on it already

Congrats on being the only Ruckus I know of with more kms on it than me. I've got about 16,500kms on mine. I am curious why you took the pic at speed when you coulda just taken it when it was parked. I guess there's the thrill. I'm gonna take some top speed pics when I get my Ruckus humming when I complete the cam install.
I rode my brothers '84 Honda NH80 scooter the past couple days while mine was down and I gotta say that the Ruckus is WAY more stable. I can take corners about 50% faster on the Ruckus. We just have those big tires plus a really low center of gravity so it works well. The NH80 had tiny tires on 10" rims and I almost lost it twice when I pulled on to the loose gravel sholder at speed to let some cars by. I do it all the time on my ruckus with no worries.

what is this 'gaz cable' you speak of? The gas line? Sound a bit hard to believe.

this is the gaz wire relied to your gaz command ( tite tache) and it's true, you get a lot of km/h with this little adjustment, if you dont believe me go ''edit profanity" yourself

I have no idea what any of the stuff you are talking about is (gas wire? gas command? title tache?). I don't believe you but I would appreciate it if you could explain exactly how to adjust the 'gaz commond' and what exactly this mod does.

You might get close to 65kph if your a featherweight, going downhill with a good tailwind. @8000rmp your done and most likely around 60. Or, maybe you live on top of a mountain and only look a the speedo going down. Does it run on tap water too?

It's fake. We all want to believe it so bad cuz more free power is so appealing but if it was real we would have figured it out long ago. If it was true he'd give us more info and actually use real words to describe it.

The guy is french (like me...well, im an Ex-quebecer, thats eastern canada for the people that dont know where or what quebec is) and he obviously has a hard time with his second language. I asked him the question we all are in french, and hopefully, whenever he comes online and reads these posts hell let me know what exactly he means.
