Thank you for your very detailed explanation. I've been told that Napa have silicone tubing to replace the Vacuum hoses but I can't seem to find the size. Can you tell me the size of vacuum hose you...

In Canada the Spyder is considered a motorcycle for insurance purposes. I have had a few people say to me that I'm wrong however my insurance states that it is indeed a motorcycle! Having ridden...
So, you were all right! I replaced the battery, and everything appears to be back to normal. we are looking at a possible four days of snow this week so I don't think I'll be scooting around for a...
I've had that happen on a quick right hander, the missus asked the inevitable and yes it did!
I've got it on charge at the moment however I'll probably change it out if everything else checks out. I've owned bikes since the 1970's everything from a BSA Beagle to Gold Wings, solos sidecars and...
Thanks for reply, we had an Indian summer up to about ten days ago. Suddenly the weather and temperature dropped like a stone. This week we had some snow fall so I put the Spyder on tender because of...
Thanks for your reply!
So had to boost it on the ferry and rode it home, I had done 180km this weekend traffic was very busy in Vancouver today. Stopped for gas and once boosted again power...
I stopped at a ferry booth to pay the ferryman, turned off before using the parking brake. Turned the ignition on again and reset the brake. Paid the ferry girl, turned on the ignition and nothing....
It doesn't look the same, however it would be cheaper to get with less postage if any compared to Noboot's version.

I ordered some Speedbleeders and brake pads which I hope to install this week. I've discovered one advantage to this C1282 fault. I can go directly into reverse without having to go into first gear...
So since yesterday, I removed any fluid from both master brake cylinders and filled with fresh. No change! From another post suggesting disconnecting the battery. I did that too but no change.
Thanks very much for your detailed reply. I’ll have another go at it later today.
Thanks for your reply!
What is the correct way to fit the covers? Is there a specific position, there does'nt seem to be any markings as to direction it should lie.
My new to me 2012 RT (16000kms) has been running well but I've ridden 4000kms in the past month and decided to check the brake fluid levels. All I did was remove the brake master cylinder caps. The...
If you are considering side bags for it consider the Mutazu Saddlebags https://www.mutazu.com/collections/mutazu-universal-hard-saddlebags some come with the fitting kit.
In your video you mention the rear mounting “U” bolts fitted to the rear shock. Is this done when the Spyder is raised by you or part of the accessory bracket?
Your final video is great indeed but does the camera get in the way of your sideways view, traffic coming out from an off ramp on the right?
That one is normally used on the battery terminals. I’d bet the previous owner was fitting a charging pigtail and discovered that the ordinal battery bolt was too short and swapped out the two...
In the end I bought a 2012 RT with just 12600 km. It is in excellent condition except for a broken radio aerial. It is the metallic brown colour. It came with a few accessories, floor boards and...
Hi I’ve seen the Spyder above with less than 12000 miles. It would be appear to be in very good condition. The owner is overseas but the bike is being sold locally. I don’t know any of the history...
I’ve watched your progress with the Ryker and your various alterations, I really like the screen and top box and your passenger seat modifications. When you say you are a lightweight couple what...
I agree with you Cueman, if you have ever ridden 150,000 miles on a Kawasaki 90 and used it for everything and going everywhere. A Ryker should be capable of doing all that and more comfortably don’t...
It’s certainly more attractive than all black! I had a black Kawasaki and it was a divil to keep clean, any speck, dust dirt mud!

I have one of those too! :)
I’m considering buying an early model RTS. Has anyone converted one from manual to semi automatic? Is there a lot involved in the process?
Thanks
These photos were taken at Ladysmith Motor Sports of a Ryker 900, many thanks to Mike and Mike. Ladysmith is on Vancouver Island Canada.
I’d like to ride one before plunking down $15000 on one.
So did you get to the bottom of this problem? Was it the vacuum hoses, fuel filter or even the plug high tension wires?
Has has anyone used Ikon shocks?
My experience with WD goes back a long time and I found it’s not the best for electrics, isolating rather than insulating. But there again WD has changed its formula and doesn’t attract dust like it...
