[@MrP0lar]

i rewatch this video all the time as a refresher before i change my oil

[@chicagosbackbone]

I remember watching this years ago when I first bought my ruckus. Best ruckus/scooter videos on youtube. Thanks again. If I'm ever out your way we need to rip around!

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

Awesome, thank you!

[@BrotherKyler]

Thank you Mitch, just changed my oil for the first time. It was so easy with your instructions!

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

You're welcome! Glad it helps!

[@greghawkman]

Hey Mitch great video....but the manual says not to rev up the engine to warm it up.

[@Winterstick549]

​@@greghawkman Just take it out for a spin

[@GuruBoards]

Great video and great videos Mitch! Just letting everybody know out there if you have a 2019 or or newer Honda ruckus, when checking the oil level, you do Not screw the dipstick in. Simply clean the dipstick off, insert it till the threads seat, and pull it back out.

[@hikerglenn]

I was going to say that too....you’ll end up a little low overall screwing it in. All Hondas (to my knowledge) the procedure is the same, you just set the dipstick back in the fill hole on the threads, then pull out and check the level. I worked at a Honda dealership (in the service dept) for quite a few years back in Indiana.

[@nerb6833]

I do the same!

[@MoJo-eb4lt]

I just sent my dipstick as well to check the oil, that is without screwing it in. Seems though that one side of the stick is lower than the other. Angle of dipstick in motor I'm sure, but still, what to believe?

[@sproozit6774]

I got to the end and was like "Hey, it's Mitch!" I've watched your GoPro tutorials for years

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

haha that's awesome !

[@SebastiaanMollema]

Great video, perfect level of detail and video quality!

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

Thank you Sebastiaan!

[@MrTomYaYa]

Keep up the good work, Mitch! Great editing on the videos by the way! You've helped me to change my oil and my coolant now!!

[@kr4dh4x0r]

I liked the video, recently got a ruckus and looked up how to do the oil change. Captions are perfect. Thank you.

[@stealthynoodle2707]

The fact you went into detail as far as amount of torque for each bolt amazes me. While I probably wont beable to use that info it's really comforting knowing that someone is helping out like you are

[@Life_like_honey]

Thank you for an high quality information I’ve never checked out the strainer screen for last 17 years of my 2003 ruckus and I didn't even know it existed. lol I’m trying to restore my old ruckus on these days your videos are very helpful for me. All the love and respect from korea🇰🇷 thank you mitch u rox

[@JD-lb3dq]

Just wanted to stop and say your videos are straight to the point and incredibly clear and concise. Keep up the awesome work man. Just did my coolant and oil watching your vids. I'll check your channel for all other stuff I need. Thanks man.

[@chopkinsize]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@drzoom11]

Getting my first Zoomer, (as the Ruckus is called in the UK) , next week and your videos have been fantastic. Clear concise instructions, brilliant. Thanks very much 👍

[@JFrenchRennier]

Best Rukus Channel on the Internet for Maintenance. Especially love using proper torque & the camera work expertly showing exact placement. Thanks Mitch, you are my Go To & my personal Father & Son retirement hobby is restoring American Muscle cars then showing & reselling, Have built a couple or 3 drag cars & bikes just for fun. BTW - my 2022 Rukus heavy mods without an engine change is a 2022 cruises at 40mph normal top speed 45/46mph stage 1. The Ruck is my daily around town errand bike.

[@PottersWork]

Just bought a 2009 Ruckus with 190 miles on it. Been watching some of your videos on maintenance. Thank you for making clear and concise videos!

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

Awesome! Enjoy your Ruckus 😀👍🏼

[@dovenix2852]

I thought you might be deaf at the start of the video. Very informative and more detailed than many other videos I've watched! God made a wonderful person with you.

[@KS-ro6in]

another GREAT job. I have now seen your Ruckus coolant change and oil change as I am thinking of buying a 2019 Ruckus...(although I wish Honda would offer injection vs. existing carb) . I am hoping they hire you and give you a job ...you do it that well . Again thank you and congrats . Kevin

[@robertmarsh5786]

I don't have Ruckus however I just got a Nss250 Reflex. Its been sitting for 10yrs, I'm in the process of bringing it back to life. Anyway I enjoy your videos, they are very helpful!

[@dallasboullion2079]

Excellent tutorial! Best one I’ve seen yet! Thank you!!!!

[@Manaflux02]

I’m purchasing a new ruckus next month so finding your channel is a blessing! Thanks for the info (subbed as well 👍🏾) safe riding!

[@samuelmitgang1963]

Fantastic video and thank you so much for filming it! I can now comfortably work on my ruckus and feel confident thanks to you.

[@alexz2643]

The best explanation I've ever seen! Thanx!

[@mjl451]

Outstanding job man. Really helped rather than only relying on the owner's manual. 5/5 stars. 🌟 Thanks, Matt

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

Thank you Matt! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@GodChosenWarrior7347]

Thank ya Mitch helped me learn my new ruckus better than before. Just picked up my GN 10w30 and getting ready to do exactly what you just showed me minus the torque wrench.

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

You’re welcome Josh! Also when you check the level with dipstick, just put it in and sit without screw in

[@gregorydietz26]

Thanks, Mitch! Going to change mine this weekend. Appreciate it!

[@randyherrin138]

Thank you very much, Mitch. I watched a lot of videos but you were the one that I trusted. You don't try to convince me you know what you are doing, you just show me how to do it.

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

I went into a repair shop in Vancouver to inquire about them doing oil change in my 2015 Ruckas. Their shop rate is now $180 per hour! Be looking at over 200 buckeroos for this simple oil change. After watching this video I went to the walmert and bot oil and a funnel for less $10. Thanks Mitch

[@jamiemcparland]

Fantastic video! Thanks so much!

[@BrendanWhelan]

Love your style. I did everything with the same tools you suggested but was having issues with the torque wrench, fitting it with the hose in the way. I tightened the oil screen bolt with the wrench as tight as I could. You think this will be okay?

[@ph.deeeee]

Great presentation! Thank you!

[@matthewd.2312]

You rock man. Made my life much easier with the Ruckus:)

[@yasparis3220]

Hi, Your tuto are amazing and very easy , thank a lot from Paris 😎😎😎

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

Glad you like them!

[@Cinci746]

Aye don’t screw in the engine-oil dipstick when checking levels. Just goin by the manual maybe it’s different for other production years mine is a 2019. However I have a comprehensive service manual for the NPS50Ruckus 2003- present that they give to Honda Technicians to do all service and assembly.. and this service manual also says not to screw in the dipstick when checking oil level, just seat the stick in the threads for a second and then remove to check.

[@nw2220]

Awesome video. Thank you!

[@frenchclass7230]

Great video. Thanks.

[@Evergreen_Kings]

Thank you for the great video!

[@frofro4ever]

Thanks for the video! How important is it to measure torque on the wrench? I don’t have the tool and don’t want to buy it if I can get away with it

[@Min4Mass]

Thank you very much for this video!

[@davidf2458]

Thank you! Very helpful.

[@ethanaxline7588]

Thanks for video Mitch

[@MrOscar5690]

EXCELLENT video! How frequently are you changing the full synthetic oil?

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

2,500 miles Thank you!

[@JasonFile]

Hey Mitch...great video, helped me change the oil on my ruckus for the first time, so I really appreciate it. I had a question, you screwed in your dipstick to check the final levels, but I've read elsewhere you shouldn't. Any advice there?

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

Hey Jason, yes just put dipstick in without screw in to check the level. I forgot about it since other models I worked on need to be screwed in 😆

[@TJPproductions1]

Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

You're very welcome!

[@pow95dap87]
