Unfortunately, no... I dropped it off and they did the service in the background. The one thing that I did learn from the process is that it's messy and, if not done properly, it will make your bike...

60-95 mph roll-on is very good on the 900/Rally (video below), and maintaining anything in that range is effortless (assuming that you have a windscreen and a cruise control). The freeway duty can be...

Agreed, the owner/operator manual is very vague on the maintenance intervals, and the info is spread throughout the manual instead of being condensed into a traditional table format. Another thing to...

Well, I had to satisfy my curiosity about the Rally's top speed, so I did a quick top speed run Monday morning. Here is the result: 105 indicated, 102 GPS. I was headed into a slight head wind, so...

I purchased parking brake lock from the dealer, so apparently I'll need the bolts as well... hopefully they have those in stock already!

I'm in Katy, TX and insured by Geico (lots of bikes, cars, and RV). The cost for my Ryker Rally on a 1-year policy is $595.02. Here are is the policy break down:

- multi-car discount
- perfect...

Yeah, I got the same song and dance from my dealer and from BRP. I've been riding/racing karts, cars, and street bikes for 34+ years and I know an alignment issue when I feel one. I raced 3-wheelers...

I commute on the Ryker for work sometimes, and I've noticed that I get DBS (dirty butt syndrome) from the water kicking up through the rear splash tray behind the seat. If I'm wearing rain gear, then...

I own the Rally and I chose it because of the adjustable suspension and included MAX mount. The tire choices for the 16" front are limited right now, but the 15" rear is a common size that should be...

And wind/weather conditions... particularly for smaller-displacement machines. A 15 MPH headwind on a smaller motorcycle can make a 25-30% impact on fuel economy at highway speeds.

Are you tracking your MPG's on Fuelly or other public sites? I have been tracking several of my bikes for a few years on Fuelly and it's a great benefit to the community... particularly for...

Thanks to your comment/advice on YT, my dealer found the same issue on both fenders on my Rally when they were doing the sway bar install. My wire harnesses weren't damaged yet, but they agreed that...

:agree:

Good call on reducing the front spring preload. The Rally's front shocks don't have enough rebound damping (non-adjustable), so the wheel hop can be a real nuisance. I'm reducing my front...

Each of the accessories has a male-female daisy-chain connection that allows you to link up multiple items. Everything is powered from a single accessory connector on the bike's harness, and then the...

I noticed the same thing in the docs when I installed my handguard lighting. I think it's just related to cable lengths and routing options... everything is daisy-chained from a single bike...

Nah, the angle is below 30 degrees on this application, too sharp for a ball-end. The mount itself is reused from the snowmobile and watercraft applications and apparently wasn't specific for this...

If anyone is interested... a BRP Ryker engineer gave me the part number for the Russian/Australian hazard flasher kit... BRP P/N: 219400932

I plan to order mine next week, but I'm not sure if US...

Body roll can induce inside wheel lift because of weight/bias transfer. In the Ryker's case, the IMU senses that and kicks in the nanny much earlier than necessary. The stiffer bar minimizes the...

I've heard that the Rykers are made in Mexico... so maybe mine was built the morning after a Tequila-infused Mexican Ring Toss showdown following a neighbor's quinceañera? :cheers: :gaah:

I've...

Yessir... same here. The set screw would be a real bugger to get in there with the limited clearance anyway. The next issue of the non-locking MAX accessories is the passenger seat... nothing...

Evil SOB is just about right... it's downright nasty sometimes. I'm a seasoned moto-veteran and this thing catches me out sometimes... I can't imagine what a new or inexperienced rider would think...

Good afternoon, all! I had a conference call with the BRP engineers about the Ryker platform earlier this month (2019-02-08). We had a very good discussion and we had follow-up items that I sent in...

THANK YOU!!! I just called you and left a voicemail to schedule an appointment! :bowdown:

The bar was $134.99 (+tax) and the shop labor was $280.50 (3 hours @ $93.50/hr). That brought the total to $426.63.

Agreed! I had my dealer put mine on just because I didn't want to tear the front end apart on my Rally. The upgraded BRP bar definitely helps to stiffen the front suspension and keep the inside...

I haven't done proper 0-60 tests with my Rally yet, but I can tell you that its time will be traction-limited... getting it moving from a stop is hard to do without spinning up the rear tire. You...

Yep, I'm sure someone will work on that in the aftermarket community if BRP doesn't make it a factory option. The real problem there is traction... my Rally can spin up the rear tire even at 35-40...

I'm bound to stir up SH*T with this, but I'll have to call it a flat win for the Ryker 900 vs the Silverwing. I own both bikes, and I can say definitively that my 900 Rally will spank my Silverwing...

The Ryker makes me feel like I'm in my 20's again... hopefully my driving record won't start feeling the same way. ;) This thing is probably going to get me into trouble.

@748eric:
It sounds like you and I are the same moto animals. I'm 48 and mirror most of what you said above. I have a 2013 Ducati Monster 1100 Evo sitting in the stable. Your 1200s has a little...
