Hi, I just got a Ruckus cheap because of all the issues it has. No the scoot is not stolen, but it has no key and the front drum brakes is locked up.
I was wondering how i can bypass the switch to check spark. The guy is still looking for the keys.
I am wondering how to get the front brake drum off to fix the stuck issue.
I also will be needing some basic help on cleaning the Carburetor, but first I need to get some ideas on how to fix the key issue first.
Another bad thing is the gas cap has a key slot too.
Hopefully I haven't got in too deep.

I just watched a video on how to get the gas cap off when locked. It worked, I now have the 6 digit key code. Will the dealership cut me another key from this code.
Thanks Jeff

I found a guy on ebay that cuts them. 13 bucks can't be too bad. The key will be here in 3 days.

For the front drum, just unfasten the axle bolt and pull it all out. You'll need to disconnect brakes first.
When you put it back together, the drum has a notch that lines up with one of the front forks, I forget which. Also remember which side the spacer goes on, I believe it's opposite the notch but don't count me on that.

Thanks, guys!
I have the wheel off and the lines disconnected. The drum is still stuck inside of the rim. I will spray it down with some penetrating oil in hopes it pops free.
The manual page is awesome. Thanks for the manual, it shows how to check the brakes and repair.
Awesome

Thanks, I am hoping the new key I am having made from the key code works.

The key that cyclekeysonline from eBay made a great copy. Works awesome. Perfect key.

Well, I have got the key issue fixed and the front drum separated. Now to see if I can get it started. I have spark at the spark plug and I see fuel coming out of the fuel line but no start.
Anyone with a ruckus can help me check some stuff. I am waiting for a new battery tomorrow. I think it's not spinning up fast enough. If that doesn't do it what are some things to check.
Thanks, I know this is basic stuff, but I'm a newbie with the ruckus.
and I'm still running the GET motor, or am trying to run it.
