Also, unless your Ruckus is FI, turning the kill-switch off saves exactly zero gasoline. Carburetors continue to pump gas as long as the engine keeps turning.

No. The coasting technique for a Big Ruckus requires slowing to 10 or 15 mph and killing the engine (and the electric fuel pump). This way the belt does not turn the engine when coasting but it does drag on the clutch assembly, significantly degrading the efficiency of the coast. I have also considered using a larger belt with a spring-loaded idler that would allow the loop to ride off the rear face when released for coasting.
