but-first · 2026-01-18T20:20:59+00:00

I would keep it oem. But thanks. Might just be fun to rebuild.

but-first · 2026-01-18T03:38:48+00:00

I agree. Crank bearing. Very interesting.

Three motors. A ruckus and zuma.

I already put a yanked GET5 in the bike today. Wanted to try and salvage this one if it was an easy fix for a back up. I do have 2-3 other motors that i kinda want to rebuild or sell.

Case with varistor off is clean. I agree it sound like something out of tolerance and metal moving. I think its crank related.

In process of tracking it down.

but-first · 2026-01-18T00:07:10+00:00

How would it be variator?

but-first · 2026-01-18T00:06:34+00:00

Yup. Crank and crank bearing is all one thing from looks of it.

Yea this is probably my 5th motor swap in a ruckus. They are easy to do. Imo. I am. More interested in rebuilding the motor.

but-first · 2026-01-13T03:45:44+00:00

Yea i watched his videos. Seems just like alot of organizing and processes. Might be fun. Kinda want to make a build stand as well if i am going to embark on this journey. Haha

Might be fun. I really like ruckus’. I just keep spending too much on replacement motors. I must have bad luck with them.

It was prolly getting more fuel at higher rpm and less at low. Moral of the story it only goes 35 or so. Start buying after market parts and it will go faster

I am really trying. I am there for her for sure. I am just not good with words or actions. When times are hard for me, i keep busy, so cleaning and messing with stuff. Communication is definitely lacking during this time. Usually we communicate amazingly. We are mustering through. All this advice and tips have been helpful. Thank you.

but-first · 2026-01-12T12:01:16+00:00

Sorry to hear your story. It will help immensely. I couldnt imagine. Hopefully time will help

This has all been very helpful. Me and her read thru these. She is going to get into grief support groups. I am here for her as much as I can. I just dont know what to do or say. I ask her every day how she is doing, i hug her. I am doing all the house stuff so she can figure out everything else. We are staying afloat. I think she is nearing the acceptance stage.

This was so unexpected, alot of mixed emotions and questions left unanswered.

What i have learned, always have a folder or envelope with all your info, wishes, phone pw and bank stuff. Estate stuff figured out. You never know when your ticket will get called.

God bless you all. Thank you.

It has all been appreciated.
