Four Year's on - Ryker owner's report

[rakerrykerrider]

I bought my 2019 Ryker 900 ACE 4 years ago today, 1 Feb 2019. This is a summary of my experience so far:

current milage 15,096
First oil change, dealer, 5000.0 mi.
Second oil change, home, 10,000.0 mi.
Third oil change, home, 15,000.0 mi. No oil added between changes.

Fuel - 91 oct. only as recommended in the manual. Average mileage 36-39 mpg, tank after tank. I didn't buy it for milage, didn't care what it would be but pleased with the milage I get. I ride in ECON mode only.

Original tires, shocks, battery, sway bar, foot pegs, hand grips, CVT belt. Have no message that belt needs replacing.

Only two dealer visits, once for first oil change, second for wheel nuts recall.

Accessories: Max Mount, Sport windshield, handguards w/wind deflectors, top box, saddle bag (used once on overnight trip), dual horns, sequential front fender LED turn signals (a must for visibility but a bitch to install!), reverse shifter, sport handlebar, steel front bumper, Rallye radiator screen, Comfort Seat, air pocket seat pad (Amazon).

Now about me. 78 years old, had to give up two wheels due to chronic nerve damage left leg. I ride for pleasure, prefer two lane back roads where speeds rarely exceed 55. Average ride 50 to 150 miles. I do ride Interstates (I-40 , I-25 ) and ride at 75-85 mph with no problems. I may come across as an old fuddy-duddy but I get froggy now and then. But, have other toys for that. The Ryker is not alone in the garage!IMG_1310.jpg
