Anyone with a Honda Ruckus here?! Picking up one this weekend...

 

i just realized it's only been about 3 weeks since placing my order. sigh...

 

Ha! This shop is just down the street from me. (well, across the river actually, but whatever) They take that bike EVERYWHERE! Cool to see in person.

 

2011 R6 ~ 23,000 miles
2014 FZ09 ~ 8500 miles
2015 YZ250FX ~ 1 ride

 

I take it you like Yami's

 

Haha! That I do. And Toyota's.

 

Certainly not a bad combination of machinery to have around

How does the FZ stack up to the R6?

FZ is probably more comfy i'd assume, maybe not as quick on the top end?

 

Oh, and I like guns too. Couple of my favorites.

 

Oh man, they are completely different bikes. The FZ is fun as hell on the streets and twisties. That motor tho... So much torque and the front end comes up so easily. It is super comfy. I took it from WA State to the Redwood forest last summer and loved it. However, I have added a Corbin seat as the stock one will make your ass scream after only a couple hours. The windscreen is nice for trips as well. It's a hooligan bike for sure. I've had it up to the factory limited 132 MPH on the track and honestly, it doesn't feel all that stable. (I've since had the ECU flashed for better performance and removed the 132 MPH limit) I love the triple motor. Wish they would stuff this motor in an R6 frame.

The R6 is super fun too, but in a different way. It's fun in the triple digits and in the moderate twisties. I've had it up to 160 and it feels completely stable and planted. (suspension set up by KFG) It's still a 600 though, so it doesn't want to rip your arms off like a liter bike. I bought it new in 2013, so I've had it for almost three years and still love it. It screams all the way to the 16,500 RPM redline.

 

Look a drz power box!

 

Good stuff I have heard that about the FZ09, some say it's performance outdoes it's suspension/handling. Where as some say the FZ07's power is better suited for it's handling.

 

All awesome except the Clymer.

I'll summarize for you as they're identical for all makes, models, and types of vehicles. ..

"Remove all parts necessary to access broken part. Remove and replace broken part. Reassemble in reverse order. "

 

I just wanted it for torque specs on important bolts

 

Newsflash.

They're all important.

 

Newsflash fuck if they are. Im not worried about anything other than internal motor. Such as cam bolts/head bolts.

And just placed an order for a seatconcepts cause i can

 

Full seat or kit to recover yours?
