I have a 2015 Honda Ruckus with 1540 miles on it. I purchased it a few weeks back and did the whole 9 on maintenance. Oil, coolant, ethanol free premium gas, etc.
Just very recently since I got back on college campus and thus being a lot of red lights, the bike dies out a fair amount when I'm idling at a light. Sitting at a light, giving it a little throttle to keep in going makes the ruckus still run but when it dies and I go to use the electric start, it has a hard time starting back up unless I give it gas when holding the start button. I will say when I first start it there is never this issue but when it dies at a light and I go to restart it, I have to kick start it if I cant get the electric starter to get it going again. I initially thought it might be a battery issue because the starter never has a problem starting it except for when it stalls out at idle so that's leading me to believe its a carb issue or maybe running to rich or lean.
Any thoughts I would greatly appreciate.
