New Owner Guides?

[jbox84126]

Hi all,

I bought a 2008 ruckus and am wondering if there's some resources on the following:
-general maintenance schedule and what to inspect/replace on a cyclical basis
-passenger set up (this would only be for 5 minute rides to the store, but curious what others have done to accomodate passengers on their ruckus)
-storage (top case, front, under seat, anything done to add more storage )

Thanks!
Jon

I just go by what my dealer says I need done.

Ruckus can't accommodate a passenger.

Check rucrac.net for cargo carrying options.

You could try ebay... there are several hard copy service manuals for sale there. Not sure if
the Ruckus has had any changes of any significance since 2003. If there have been changes 
since then,  then you would need one that covered the model year of your scooter. Some
manuals cover multiple years. I have bought several service manuals there for my Honda 
scooters. All kinds of info in the manuals, specifications, service intervals, trouble shooting,
wiring schematics, torque values, etc. Hard copies are going to cost more than PDF knock-
offs, but images in the real deal are a lot clearer and not blotchy and dark like you would
get in most PDF manuals. (a frequent complaint) They pay for themselves pretty quickly by
helping you do servicing/repair on your own instead of paying a shop to do the work for you.
