• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Disc lock??

For my 2 wheelers, I bought an inexpensive DISC lock on ebay incorporating bleeping alarm on touch, also came with bright yellow springy tether so you don't forget and drive off, although cheap you'd have to be superman to break it.

It's looking more and more like good insurance is the answer.

A determined thief or vandal is going to do their stuff...locks or not.

Insurance never works quite as intended… You'll never be adequately compensated for the loss. (once you figure in aggravation, time spent on the phone, time spent figuring out what was actually lost, and it's value, the feeling of violation for the loss... :gaah:)
 
In all seriousness I think a simple firearm cable lock would go around a spoke and tie rod end and stop simple roll off.
 
Bfromla, it's a larg post that fits into a pocket on the P-Brake. I pulled on the P-Brake and unless you pry or brake the handle it will not rotate. Everyone knows if someone wants to steal your ride they will.

WiliamTRyker here is the link for the part. the install was easy. just unscrew the bottom of the cover and pull up and slide the lock into place, oh, you will need some 5m,1.0 or 5m,0.8 screws to mount it. i used a step drill bit to cut the hole out.

This looks like a really good idea. Might be a good option for dealers to add
 
Apparently, this is on Rykers for Outside North America. I just looked at page 14 of the newly updated owners manual.
It shows this lock system.
 
I sent my dealer the part number and pictures and they said they would start stocking them and may include some as an option for the rykers in stock.
 
@Ravent25 Thanks for posting this. I didn't even know this was an option for the US market. Seems easy enough to do and the price is good.
 
Met a Ryker ryder yesterday works at local Bass Pro he uses a disk lock IMG_9588.jpgIMG_9586.jpg said found on amazon had to take battery out, alarm was too sensitive. But does fit in the glove box when riding. He only got bike in January still breaking in.
 
It has been awhile since I looked into these, but I seem to recall that a lot motorcycle disc locks have two added features:

1. An Alarm that sounds if the bike is disturbed or attempted to roll, thwarting thieves and also preventing you from riding away with it engaged. Sensitivities of the alarm vary between various makers. Some insurance companies will discount your bike insurance for the alarm feature.

2. A bright colored lanyard that goes from the lock to an obvious place like the handlebars or seat to remind you its there before trying to ride.

I installed the lock this past Monday. I ordered it from slingmods for $19.95. You can see the beefy post in retracted position. (Sorry for rotated picture)

Being able to lock the parking lever is appealing, but keep in mind that when the forward-reverse lever is moved between F & R, there is a point of disengagement and the Ryker will roll freely. When I park on an incline, I back up to a curb, bumper, rock or something as a backup precaution.
