Found this forum googling my ruckus symptoms. None of the threads really matched what I have going on so I figured I’d start a new one.
2012 stock ruckus. Bought it a few months ago with 900 miles, it now has 1600. A few days ago on my ride home the temp light flickered a couple times then stayed off. I checked all of the obvious(fluid levels, tire pressure etc) all good so I flushed the coolant and added new. Went for a ride and it stayed off. This morning on my way to work it flickered a few times again. This was after about 5 miles and would only flicker at full throttle. The second I let off it would turn off. On my home stretch(which is a 25 mph) it was bogging quit a bit but only at slow speed. When I would get past 20 mph, it seemed to run fine. It doesn’t seem like it’s actually overheating. Doesn’t smell or feel hot and hasn’t gone into “limp mode”. It actually runs great at full throttle.
Any ideas? Are the 2 problems related or do I have two separate isssues?
Thanks!
