I would say well over 90 percent of my miles are freeway speeds. Another thing it is very cool where I live, we have only hit 65 degrees once this year so far. But I do admit I get a little nervous...

I would say well over 90 percent of my miles are freeway speeds. Another thing it is very cool where I live, we have only hit 65 degrees once this year so far. But I do admit I get a little nervous...
I took them apart and dried them out, and also drilled a hole them which helps. I can plug the drilled hole if need be. I am actually thinking of replacing the whole back light system with an after...
A few weeks ago on a ride a fellow rider informed me my brake light and turn was not working. A closer work there are full of water, actually all have water in them. I am past my warranty and trying...
Thanks for the info, I have a belt and over 17,000 miles and know I am going to have to change it it soon. I also thought it could be done with just the 8mm bolt so it's good to know before hand.
Nice pics and good idea!
I might be the only one here who likes my Kenda tires, but I still wish there were options. Mine have taking many real beatings with pot holes and bad roads. Lots of rain, they don't have much ware...
This shows the cvt belt https://www.cheapcycleparts.com/oemparts/a/cam/5c2f768687a8661634626b3a/transmission-cvt-pulleys-900-ace this is the belt I bought ...
I do remember those posts, I should find a better way to get a good look at it. I meant to try and look when I changed filters but forgot. Belts should way more 12,000.
Thanks guys, I will change it in a few weeks.
I just bought a new drive belt just to have it on hand. Made me wonder if the oem belt is carbon fiber. If so I would think it should last well past the 12,000 recommended. I have over 15,000miles,...
I bought a Goldhawk stereo motorcycle last summer, installed it and then realized the Ryker is just to loud to hear music. Most all of my riding is at highway speeds, 55 mph or more so I just took...
FUN! I am stuck with the rykervirus and there seems to be no cure. It has been raining here for a week and most everything is closed, but it does not matter as long as I can get gas and open roads....
ditto
My 2 and 1/ 2 cents(inflation) Read the specs in your manual. I use any oil that meets the specs. The best mechanic I knew said it's more important to change the oil on time and according to the...
Yeah I got one of those cam am windscreens, BUT I put on a horn that even scares me sometimes. I have a little less than 14,000 miles and it looks 10 years old. I try to take care of it but it was...
Glad you shared this info, I never found mine to lack power. Over 90% over my miles are at 55mph plus. A little role of the throttle and I'm doing 80 if I'm not careful. It is loud , I bought a...
Good idea, whatever it takes to get something working that might save my behind.
I put Wolo low tone horn on my Ryker, sounds like a loud horn from the old days. A 5 minute job, problem is that is requires a 10 amp fuse and the Ryker only has a 7.5 amp fuse. Putting a larger...
I agree. It took a few weeks to get used to 3 wheels, but stability of 3 is a huge advantage for me, especially in the wet. If your rear wheel starts fish-tailing it's not all that scary like on 2...
I'm close to 13,000 miles have not noticed any issues with the belt. I replaced both filters I got from Amazon, I did not put oil on the filter as the manual says. I wonder if the issue could just be...
What else did they do to it and how much did it cost? It is pretty standard for a dealer to clean the vehicle.
I really don't keep track of mileage, I often put a thousand miles in a week. I know some rides are 3 tank fulls of gas. Every mile has been fun.
Another 5,000 and keep going. Outside of suspension I don't anything I would see as a upgrade( except for the HWY101 sticker I put on the front) In the old days you really could increase performance....
A 900 with about 13,000 miles of fun on it.
I have no choice but to ride 55 to 65 mph most of the time to not get ran over. A nice 35 mph gives you a little more time to look around. I have had my ryker doing 96 mph but really don't feel safe...
I have not tried this with transmission "needs service needs service" yet, but if it ever stops raining now I will give it a try. I am looking at how to turn it off without going to my dealer whom I...
We are the same age, most of the time I ride like a senior but sometimes the crazy teenager comes out and I can't seem to stop him.
I don't know the gap, but I had to open to get to .029
Since I got my Ryker last February the mileage has been all over the place. When I put in new plugs (oem) and gapped them at .029 I noticed a little more power as I left my driveway. I have done my...
Yes you could check that way but for me it would be pointless as it is not correct. Mine didn't need any oil the last 6,000 miles between oil changes. I only check it about once a month now. I do...
