Mine comes off that way.
Pushed hard enough to punch a hole in the front : )
Guess I still need to do more grinding and filing on mine. The lock keeps popping up while riding. Smacks my girlfriend right in the p.., groin, every time.
I’m guessing they won’t be very different. Mine is the Rally but the ECU senses when the passenger foot pegs are down and feels like it de-tunes the engine, or maybe just disables everything but...
Got my 65 mm 12 pt socket and a big ass torque wrench.
Damn, now all I need is a tire changing machine.
Got mine on after several hours of careful grinding on the mating surfaces of the seat and frame. The final .003" of needed clearance was made by removing the weight warning sticker on top of the...
I have the normal first take-off clunk and a smaller one on sudden deceleration but it's buttery smooth the rest of the time. (Rally version)
For cosmetics, about the only thing I want to change is to go naked with the front wheels. I've seen one done that way on YouTube and it looked good but seems like sacrilege to do it during the...
Thanks to all. It really helps to know that it isn't something I'm doing wrong and that it is possible :)
I'll break out the die grinder and start with the mating surfaces. Had to do that on the...
I could go for an overdrive gear added to the gearbox for lower engine RPM and better MPG for interstate cruising. The 900 could easily pull a taller gear. I'd still want the low range for local...
I can't get the seat to slide far enough back for the lock to engage the frame. It's about 5/8" forward of where it needs to be.
Anyone had this problem and solved it?
Yep, I noticed the same thing. I think it also improved a bit after the pads seated properly.
Thought of one more thing I'd like to see on Rykers - An overdrive gear in the gearbox to lower engine RPM and improve fuel economy when cruising interstate. The 900 could easily pull taller...
I'd be happy if I could get mine on. The instructions "look" crystal clear and easy. It isn't. The pegs go on pretty easy and straight forward. But that next to final step (Slide seat back into...
Oil added was 10W -30 full synthetic Mobil 1, just what I use in all my cars, bikes, airplanes, etc. The dealer didn't like it though, handed me a bill for an oil change when they brought it back.
Long time MC rider, age 71, still have a couple of conventional bikes but I got over the lack of macho sex appeal and CVT (vs conventional MC) and bought the Rally. Don't know what it is, but once...
Bought the Rally version at age 71. I also think BRP has found a market they didn't know existed with the Ryker. It's not the entry rider they thought it was for. (lost count of my previous number...
Busted :)
One of the things I like about the Ryker is it really does feel like it's going faster than it actually is, same thing goes for acceleration. I'm sure this thing has saved me a...
First tank - 22 mpg
Second - 25.2
Third - 28.1
Etc....
Looks like it tops out at around 30 mpg ridden conservatively. Kind of disappointing, not that I care, this thing is a...
Might be true in a few cases, but that's the only thing in the OP that I disagreed with.
The Ryker was an 'impulse buy' for me but only because it was a long term itch that I was going to...
Dealer called and said my Ryker is repaired but asked what kind of oil I added to top it off (it was Mobile1 10W 30). They said it would take them another hour to change the oil because that wasn't...
The one complaint I have with the Ryker so far is the brake pedal effort. Takes a gorilla stomp on it to get maximum braking. Feels like all the pads were sprayed with the stuff.
The oil cap and drain plug are the only thing I can say for sure that it isn't. Checked both and I checked the oil level after the ride, but unfortunately I had not read the manual's amazingly...
That's what I'm hoping..
Hmmm.. That's odd. Been riding MCs for 50+ years but not comfortable riding two-up with GF anymore so wanted something 'MC like' that we could still do together. I bought a Slingshot but that's a...
Anyone had this happen?
Picked up my new Ryker Rally yesterday. All 75 miles home, very conservative driving mostly interstate, great ride, no problems. But next to my house is a wide open area...
I just experienced the same thing on the Ryker Rally I bought yesterday, oil burning off muffler and dripping off bottom of bike. Dipstick area was not where mine was coming from though. Can't tell...
I hope that's what's wrong with the Ryker Rally I bought yesterday. 65 mile Ride home went fine but I practiced handling at the limit for about 10 minutes in a safe area when I got near home. All...
SpiderGal, any chance you were doing 'track day' turns on that ride?
Yesterday I did first ride on my Ryker (Rally), very conservatively, home from dealer (65 miles, mostly interstate) and...
