2003 Honda Ruckus radiator spits coolant. Manual doesn't say anything about if this happens what to do or what will be the cause of this. It happens when riding it only for about 3 - 4 miles on road. Please help need to know what might be the cause on this. I have a big gun evo s Closed course exhaust. I love the ruckus but im not so familiar with it and how the engine, carb,radiator,etc. work all together. Example( the radiator controls what that helps or makes whatever do whatever).

The most likley cause of your problem is that the radiator fan is not running or turning on. Easy to check, run the bike untill the coolant bubbles out and listen for the fan. If you put your hand in front of the rad it should try to suck you hand toward it. If yhe fan is not running than you wither need a new fan or coolant temperature switch for the fan. It should be located in the head of the engine.

SOURCE: honda ruckus oil on air filter

There shouldn't be any oil on the air filter. Take the air filter out and try drying it out (a blow dryer would come in handy) to make sure the liquid is not water. If it is oil, take it back to the dealer as it is still under warranty.

SOURCE: THE MACHINE SHAKES WITHOUT CONTROL

During the spin cycle if your cloths are too heavy on one side you will get this problem, reposition the cloths and it should cure the problem, at least thats what I do when my machine gets to shaking.

SOURCE: I just got my first

Always have an escape route.
Never go through the intersection first or last.
Drive as though you are invisible not invincible.
If you are scared .........slow down
ALWAYS wear you boots and protective gear.
Go online and read up bike riding is nothing like a car. People will try to run you off the road.
I would find a manual for the bike. You may usa a different manual because all general maintenance is the same. Do a 10k scheduled and the bike will be fine.
Do not ride with dry rotted tires.
Have FUN and plz be SAFE

SOURCE: having problems starting honda ruckus i can get it

This sounds like no fuel flow to your carb. I would proceed as follows:
Pull fuel hose from the inlet of the carb and see if you have flow, if not, check for plugged screens. While in this step, consider draining all fuel and replace with new fuel.

If you did have fuel flow, you will need to take the carb(s) apart and see what is wrong. Some times the float needle gets stuck and a moderate tap on the carb body with a screwdriver handle sometimes releases it, otherwise, you need to open the carb and look for gummed up orifaces and inlet valve issues.

The vin number is not visible on honda ruckus 2015 how else can I see if stolen

Hello, Natasha -

This is a link to a 2003-2007 Honda Ruckus service manual:
http://www.motorscooterguide.net/Manuals/Honda_NPS50_Service_Manual.pdf
(PDF document; Adobe Acrobat Reader software needed.)
It contains illustrations showing the locations of the VIN tags.

The 2015 model may be similar enough to the 2003-2007 models.

Best wishes.

Clicking sound when riding honda ruckus

could be a relay but check the chain and sprockets for worn links and teeth
if the teeth have sharp points and no fully formed teeth profile it behaves as if the pitch is wrong and the chain will slowly pick up near the tip of the teeth then click back into the sprocket

I have a 2003 Honda Civic EX. Same problem as many folks that I have read about on these forums. The car overheats after about 80 miles on the freeway. If the heater is on. It will begin to blow cold and...

Hello and welcome to FixYa! If you have overheating problem, it can lead to multipleissues. You may be running on low coolant that's why the vehicle overheats. Ifthat's the case, please add coolant and make sure that it sits on the rightlevel, too much coolant can cause overheating too for coolant will overflow. The vehicle may have a faulty or worn out radiator blowermotor that's why it overheats. If that's the case then you will need a blowermotor replacement to resolve the issue. If the radiator is clogged with dirt and rusts this issueoccurs too. The coolant doesn't flow normally on the cooling system if it'sclogged. If that's the case, I strongly suggest that you have the radiatorflushed to drain out dirt and rusts. If you think that the radiator served youenough then it's better to have it replaced. Please do check the radiator hoses, If you have worn outhoses it can cause coolant leakage which can result to overheating. A tiny holeis good enough for the vehicle to overheat. A faulty thermostat sensor can cause the issue too. If youhave worn out thermostat, the fan may not trigger that's why the fan won't workwhen under stressed conditions. A blown radiator blower fuse can cause thisissue too so I suggest that you check the radiator blower fuse and replace itwhen necessary. What causes the radiator blower fan fuse to blow? It's becauseof a failing radiator blower motor, If that's the case have the radiator blowerfan motor replaced. If the fluid in radiator doesn't circulate then it meansthat you have a blown head gasket or a faulty water pump. I suggest that you gofor the water pump replacement first specially if you think that it's near theend of it's service life. Usually, water pops out the radiator when engine isreved (a sign of faulty water pump and possible blown head gasket). Hope you find this information helpful enough and thank youfor using FixYa! Have a good one!
