You might take a look at the Schuberth line, ketchup. Quietest we've found so far.

Thanks for sharing your story RideOn, and for speaking for so many of us with similar histories.
Sarah
Please keep us posted on your luggage project, 3whlbliss. We're always looking for luggage solutions for these bikes. Good luck!

I've not read of anyone deleting it, but lots of folks put foam tape over the speaker to dampen it down a bit. I don't like the racket much either, the volume and tone seem better suited to a tank. ...
Hang in there Chuck, and let us know how it goes after you adjust the pressure. Have you tried moving your handle bars in the various slots and the foot pegs along the rails to see if that makes a...
Classy white and black, extra nice!
Sarah
Listen to Peter, Chuck. He and the most of the other folks on the forum have been riding these bikes from the early days, while I just fell off the turnip truck a year or so ago. I asked about tire...
The Rally, like the Sport, comes with the max mount installed from the factory. Since you can't use it, would you be better off buying a standard 900 and upgrading various components to suit? The...
Wonderful! Yep, we've got to see some pictures. Are you absolutely sure you want to sell those Shad bags, Scott? Sounds to me like you're ready to hit the road for days at a time. And we all know...
Chuck,
I'm one of those that happily tour on a Ryker, and I rode mine to Alaska last summer. It's no good to feel beat up by the bike, takes all the fun out of the ride. What tire pressures are...
Dang it. Hang in there Scott, and thanks for the update. Great job gathering up the odds and ends, too.
Sarah
So glad to have the forum back, thank you! I was trying to help a buddy look into F3 foot positions and brake rods and felt cut off from the world.
Sarah
Can you post a picture of this seat on a bike? The two racks I posted bolt underneath the frame, I believe.
Sarah
Folks, if you have a bike with that off-brand junk factory battery, I'd encourage you to replace it proactively. Mine suddenly went belly up in the Yukon Territory last year with replacements few...
I wanted to be sure and say thanks to Ron for posting up this thread. Sifting through the various tire options can be overwhelming, so it's nice to have good information all in one place.
Sarah
Congrats Michael! We'll need to see a picture of that new bike!

In case anybody has a buddy interested, I just saw this from BRP, posted on FB:

I believe we're stuck with factory tires or Kenda Kanines on the front, 145/60R16 is an odd size. On the rear you'll need a 205/45R16. I've just started looking myself, so far I have read good...
I'll choose a different tire this time, for sure. But the bike could run right hand curves like a demon while wearing the Hankook, so it's something about the VSS. Hopefully BRP is working on it,...
Wishing you the best, Lamont.
Sarah
I tried a Hankook Ventus VII on my Ryker 900 Sport and it seemed to cause an exaggeration of the "rear wheel wobble" sensation some of us have experienced in left hand turns. I'm shopping for a rear...
Good to hear. I’d like some suggestions for a proven rear tire in 205/45R16. I asked the service manager at the dealership about the Kenda Kanine, he then asked BRP and sent me a copy of the reply,...
Hoping for the best, Scott! :popcorn:
Sarah
OK, keep us posted please.
Sarah
That's good to hear blackphoenix38, thanks for the follow up. Are you still running the factory tire on the rear? Thanks again.
Sarah
I'm thinking so too, DickB. I wish to goodness I'd thought to weigh the Kenda tire before I put it back on the bike.
Sarah
I waited for temps to warm up a bit and headed out on the most roundabout route to the dealer I could find, right at 200 miles for the day. They said the YAW and SAS settings hadn't changed and were...
I swapped the tire out yesterday evening, but you are right. Thanks again, and I'll keep you posted.
Sarah
Hmm. That's a fine idea. I suppose I should put the factory tire back on first, otherwise that will be a hitch in things. Thank you very much, DickB.
