It could be a well thought out plan to extract more $ out of your pocket if you plan on going through a lot of tires! LOL. I see that some of us are also Honda owners. We must be brothers & sisters from another mother! LOL :shocked: cueman

I purchased a 65mm socket for the Ford axle/hub nut. It appears to be the same shape as the Ryker wheel nut and it was pretty inexpensive.
1st picture is of a standard, straight edge, hex cut socket. This one will certainly NOT work on the Ryker wheel nut.
The 2nd picture is of the socket I purchased with a rounded tooth configuration very similar to the Ryker rear wheel nut. A subtle but significant difference. I'm hoping to get lucky here but I have some doubts that it will work. Still, for the price I thought it worth a shot. We will soon see. It should deliver early next week.
Can-Am opted for a shaft drive on the 2019 Can-Am Ryker for two reasons. First, a shaft has reduced maintenance and improved longevity compared to a belt or chain drive. Second, the low-slung seating position conflicted with the belt drive found on the Spyder variants, so the Ryker’s shaft drive simultaneously serves as form and function. It’s a good solution for those who aren’t mechanically inclined.
Ron, you have a Ryker and I don't, but the straight cut tool in the first picture looks like exactly the right one, not the round cut tool.
I'm basing this on the Ryker wheel nut shown in Smoaks video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nv8ZgGaMN9Y&t=181s
Look at minute 2:43 on the video. What am I missing?
Thanks cueman... As long as it "is what it is", I can accept it.... Just didn't want anything loose causing the secondary pop sound.
Here's a pic of the Spyder nut from Smoaks' video superimposed on a 12 pt Iveco socket. The socket was a 95 mm but scaling it to fit the nut doesn't change the shape.
I don't know if Iveco is a particular configuration different from a regular 12 pt or just a name that's been stuck on large hub nuts. But it looks like that's the socket you all want, not the Ford hub nut. Part of the Spyder nut is missing or otherwise messed up because of photo editing.
Looks like the best way to find one is search for Iveco or Ford Transit 65 mm socket.
The wheel nuts are aluminum so be careful putting them on.
What do you want for 10 G's:D
My tool kit was a screw driver handle with a reversible Philips and flat blade.:shocked: cueman
Love my Valkyrie also and can not wait for My Ryker Rally
Got the socket in and it fits.... sort of. It is just a bit loose. But otherwise, it mates up well enough to use as long as you're not doing it with an impact wrench. I thought I was getting something other than a standard 65mm socket. But a standard 65mm socket is what I got. Michaelscs called it in a previous post. To me the cut appears to be rounded in the picture of the socket (on the right) which is the one I purchased. It was supposed to be a Ford Hub Nut socket. But in reality, it is a straight cut.
This is the one I got. I'm not sure they sent me what they are claiming to be selling.

So you didn't actually get the one in the ebay link? Sorry, I'm confused.
Based on what I found w/ Google I think you got a Ford hub nut socket, meaning it is a socket for the Iveco and Ford Transit (made by Iveco??), but not for other Fords. In my pic above it looks like it is a straight cut normal type socket which I thought, based on the drawing in the parts diagrams and the photo from Smoaks video, would fit pretty good.
How about posting a clear straight on photo, with dimensions, of the Ryker hub nut?
???? Why doesn't someone just go to a Ford Dealer and ask the Service Mgr to see if the official tool fits.
You all are making this too hard and complicated. Also stop your Ryker dealer and ask to see their official tool.
You all are making this way too complicated...........Ride your Ryker and give their tool a try. :banghead:
Dumb question, but an oil remover is 65mm do you think that would work??
