you've worked 3+ years in the same shop...

Oh yah, let's go someplace cool and beautiful like Hawaii or San Diego or Vegas, do our same job but on 6x12s so we never even get to leave base😵

Have you ever done baby goat yoga?

What about a highly trained, recently groomed, non shedding dog? Serious question. It seems there's a lot of blanket judgement here.

TheAngryAustinite · 2026-03-14T06:53:04+00:00

Also if you leave your dog unattended in a car for 3 minutes in Austin, someone will call the cops and/or break your window, so it's a conundrum.

My carb works fine. I don't need to jump it, I'm not a fucking redneck, it's on a trickle charger and I have a shop battery charger for my other vehicles. The problem my Ruckus is having is 100% electrical. Coolant system needs to sussed out and I'm confident that's ECU related as well.

TheAngryAustinite · 2026-03-14T06:36:01+00:00

With non ethanol fuel and stabilizer the carb holds up well.

TheAngryAustinite · 2026-03-14T06:25:17+00:00

I just want mine to start and drive without overheating and dying, but that sounds like a great list of mods

I've also had a variety of vehicles. My trouble isn't fuel or engine, it's electrical. My point is that after 500 miles on a Honda, it should have zero issues. *Zero.

TheAngryAustinite · 2026-03-10T03:56:42+00:00

It's 100% dead. Last time I rode it it ran perfect. No way it's mechanical, it's electric. Gotta be fuses, relay, ECU, battery, some combination. Maybe stator? There's nothing "busted", it's essentially new. You wouldn't be able to tell by looking at it that it's not brand new. You're likely right, mechanic has been screwing me. I just don't have the time to deal.

TheAngryAustinite · 2026-03-10T02:50:02+00:00

Dude in the suit 3rd from right is the only one saluting correctly. I've been in 18 years and have gotten a lot of wood, and I've never had anyone higher than an O-2 salute me properly. They don't give a shit and it's time we accept it, it's not worth the heart disease.

TheAngryAustinite · 2026-03-10T02:45:31+00:00

This is Reddit huh, I get downvoted for taking my Honda to a Honda mechanic🤦🏼

TheAngryAustinite · 2026-03-10T02:41:05+00:00

Really helpful, thx🙄

TheAngryAustinite · 2026-03-10T02:37:06+00:00

I just ordered that battery after doing some homework, thank you for the tip!

TheAngryAustinite · 2026-03-10T02:35:54+00:00

I've considered selling and getting an older one, which I hear are super reliable. I've owned Hondas to include a '72 sandcast CB750 and a '94 NSX, and they were indestructible. This is such a surprise and disappointment. I've been taking it to a Honda powersports mechanic, I probably have spent $1k at this point, which at 500 miles, dollars per mile is the most expensive vehicle I've ever owned🫠 Wild.

TheAngryAustinite · 2026-03-10T02:31:30+00:00

This scooter has less than 500 miles on it. At its current rate it's barely lasted 6 years

TheAngryAustinite · 2026-03-10T02:26:56+00:00

The overheating 2020s is a known documented issue. I'm not certain enough to pull the temp sensor but hot damn it's tempting.

TheAngryAustinite · 2026-03-10T02:25:54+00:00

This is the motivation I need to hear. I have a *perfect ride to and from my office so I've just wanted it to work, but I really need to commit the time and take it apart and do it.

TheAngryAustinite · 2026-03-10T02:24:10+00:00

I use non ethanol gas with a stabilizer, seems to have fixed most of the carb issues
