Hi, I just bought a 2004 Ruckus 50cc. It has 450 miles and is in awesome condition!! The electric start didn't work when I bought it and they said the battery was dead. Today I bought a new battery at Honda. I installed it and it still didn't work. So I tested all the fuses and the main fuse was blown. So I replaced it and it started right up with the electric start!!! But the second I turned the ignition off.......the bike goes dead and the main fuse is blown.No lights, horn, starter......nothin!! The second I change it out everything works.....but only till i turn it on and off. Then blown again! I've been through 4 main fuses within the five minutes and now I'm just frustrated! Can someone please help me!! Thanks.... Jason

i would think you have a short in a wire somewhere. get an ohm meter and check every wire to find which one is shorted out.

I have narrowed it down to that it blows when I turn off the key ignition. Does anyone know what that means?  ? I'm an electronic moron!!! |

Wierd, can you work around it? Ie. use the kill switch to stop the motor and then flick the key off? Obviously this isn't a great solution but it might work temporarily so you can keep using it.

If it blows when you shut it off, then most likely is the main relay (has 5 prongs)
