THE GY6 RUCKUS IS BACK!!

Hoodie I'm wearing - bit.ly/2tTOlHJ
I know it's been ages since I rode the Ruckus. Earlier this year, I was leaving to take it to Cars and Coffee and it developed some electrical issues. I've been trying to figure it out ever since. It also happened right before Aelynn was born, so with having less free time, I it's been lower on the priority list. When I have time to film, I focus on the stuff I know can get done. It's not that entertaining watching me be stumped by electrical problems :P So here and there, with the help of Ryan at The Ruck Shop, I've been testing things out. Well, we finally got it figured out.

LAST REMINDER! The Texas Moto Meet 2017 is THIS WEEKEND! You can find all details at the following link. Hope to see y'all there! -

Poor moto all he wants to do is be a giant man riding a tiny little scooter but the world won't let him😔

[@itsvash679]

It's probably grounding on your custom handlebars. The horn button normally connects the ground negative to close the circuit loop. So it's possible a piece of metal is somehow touching the bars and closing the loop.

Can’t wait til November 2018 when the R3 is up and running.

[@98Kentuckian]

I never clicked a video so fast in all my life. Gotta come to Smoky Mountain Crawl this year man! It’s a blast and It would be sick to see you and the Ruckus there. Small bore guys where you at???

[@nearkolob]

You have a short in the wiring. Once my dirt bike just turned off miles up in the mountains. I replaced the spark plug, still nothing. Turns out the kill switch was grounding on the handlebars. One of the guys I was riding with told me to take the kill switch off the bars. I did and it started. There was a burn mark from arching on the bars. If I were you I would start looking for burn marks on stuff. If you have wires running through the frame take it out and inspect the wiring.

I finished watching the entire build series for this little devil... Loved it! Glad it works again!! Much love

[@troyriderzsquad2158]

Been following you for a couple years now... Went thru the entire Ruckus series and I just picked mine up last night. Now going thru the ruckus series again for inspiration purposes... :)

[@davids2096]

This is the favorite vehicle you work on I can't really say why, it's just cool to ride something that small and try to make it go as fast as a big bike It's so low to the ground, it's like driving a go kart, but in this case riding a mini bike I read some previous comments pertaining to this vlog, people can be really cruel, I myself wrote some nasty comments on other major motovloggers, and I think they pretty much deserved it, but my conscience tells me to me nice to everyone, always, remember what Karma can do, but not just for fear of that, but just because we all should be nice to each other Ride safe and have a good one

[@Jeff_the_ApocalypticGameCat]

That little thing is badass. I wasn't following you back then, but I'm gonna have to go back and watch through that build series.

[@BrockGrimes]

Glad to see it up and going was wondering about that. My builds been on the back burner due to a lack off sponsors/money.

[@ATOMICookie]

Your colour grading is always ON POINT!!

[@user-op5gg4hw3o]

I've been waiting alllll summer for another ruckus video!

[@GeekGarageDK]

had a VERY similar issue on my PGO G-Max that was cutting out in the same manner, found out that it was my fuse box. re-crimped all legs and bought brand new fuses of high quality and it was sorted.

[@darylmorris2388]

Hey Moto, my gy6 swapped ruckus had the same issue with the horn going off on left turns. Found out it was grounding out in some spots just re-routed the wiring harness so it wasn't as tight against the frame. Also when you turned the throttle and it sounded like it was bogging, mine did that as well. Mine was the fuel pump was going out then finally decided to fully quit. Mines torn back down now going to fuel injection.

[@bwheat60]

The Ruckus rules. Dangit! Every time you get cooking on it something happens! Oh well. Cool to see Ab & Aelynn! ☮️

[@PakmanR3]

Yess the ruckus is back@! Maybe your horn button / mechanism / wiring is shorting it out?

[@TheInja]

The R3 is going to be LEGENNN..

[@mikegigabyte]

also the rectifiers are known to blow, causing high voltage to surge through all the wiring, burning out all electronics and possibly frying the battery so always carry a spare one and use a battery meter on the bike while running if you see it go over 14v turn it off

[@Viper27130]

You should’ve had this as a Halloween video lol. Sketchy running bike, dark with no headlights, add some spooky music and bam! Motonosity starring in Ruckustein!😂. I’m really curious to see what the problem is. I’ve seen both builds and seen some of the issues but it sucks to see something that makes you so happy to ride not work 😕. You figure it out tho. It’s probably right under your nose😏
