    Default New Ryker Owner

    New Ryker Rally owner here in South Carolina. Test drove a Ryker from Velocity Powersports about two months ago, but talked myself into buying a used 2019 F3-S Special, after reading different posts on this forum. The F3 is a nice ride, but just not the same as the Ryker I had ridden. Found a good deal on a 2019 Ryker Rally with only 222 miles from a guy who went back to two wheels. So, purchased the Ryker and sold the Spyder.

    Added the BajaRon anti-sway bar yesterday, and not too hard of a job, except getting the nut on the bolt behind the bushing block. Dropped it twice down into a black hole, but able to retrieve with magnetic rod. Lots of good information about the Ryker on this forum! Look forward to getting out on the road!

    I'm sure you're gonna love your Ryker. I know I do mine. Hard to believe this much fun is NOT illegal.... Hows that new sway bar working for you?

    Ryker is going into the dealer tomorrow to have recall work on wheel nuts done, so really haven't ridden since the sway bar install. Well, just a short couple miles, but not enough to tell much yet.

    Great Post. Like you, I am a new Ryker owner, but have had three Can am R'ss. (990's)

    I am from New Zealand, and I have a 600 ACE - my top speed has been consistently up to 86mph or 138 km. (Speed test) That is going into the wind with a Madstad 18inch screen on, 5.9 litres per 100km on fuel consumption.

    Enjoy your bike.
