Ryker Maintenance

[tibadoe]

..........This appears to be a machine that will be very DIY friendly.

That's what I consider very appealing. I love to do as much of the services as I can. After reading the manual everything looks pretty straight forward. A big plus for the Ryker!

I just test rode one with the upgraded seat yesterday, 12/22/18 in Minnesota so it was a short and cold ride. 1st, I sat on one with stock seat and it was not as comfortable. but, with the upgraded seat it felt good and I am 6'2. The upgrade is higher and does not have the big lip on the back.

I sat on a 600 Model today and found mounting was Very easy compared to my F3 with the Passenger handle bars BUT I also found the seat to be stiff or hard compared to my F3 Seat? Wonder if the Rally seat is more comfortable??? Its Not a deal breaker But I don't think I'm selling the F3 anymore! While this is going to be a Fun Sporty vehicle I still want the F3 to ride also AND with trade-in values So low there is absolutely No reason to sell a F3 with 15,000 miles!
Was the upgraded seat the Comfort seat they offer OR a Rally seat which is supposed to be thicker???

The maintenance schedule begins on page 89 of the operator's guide. Now we have to answer this question only N - X times, where N is the number of people who buy Rykers and X is the number of owners who RTFM.

Maybe you should try one with the Comfort Seat installed? I also expect the aftermarket crowd to be offering seats as well.

Very good information. I've been thinking about going to three wheels for awhile now. Seems like the Ryker will make the jump easy.

The 900 has gone of acceleration. You will love it!

it was the comfort seat, the rally stock seat is better padded then regular and the comfort is better than that. It does not have a big lip on the back that always bugs my tail bone, I use a gel sheepskin Pro Pad on my Wing and Super Tenere, I am sure I will one on this also. It works for me.
