• 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.

Codes C006C & C0063 - Anyone have a source for a Ryker Rally Steering Lock Tool? Or a DIY alternative?

My Ryker has recently thrown 2 codes, C006C, C0063... I'm currently waiting on my BUDS2 kit, and looking into probably replacing the Yaw Sensor? But while looking at the process of resetting the new Yaw Sensor, it mentions locking the steering. I can't find the tool. Anyone either have a source or a DIY set up? thanks.
 
It may be the yaw rate sensor, it may be the Steering Angle Sensor (SAS). You may need the Steering Update Kit called out in this Service Bulletin:

https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10181946-0001.pdf

The issue is that the SAS and yaw sensor readings do not agree. The SAS says you are pointing straight ahead, and yaw says you are turning, or vice versa. This will often point to a yaw rate sensor problem, but in fact it may be the SAS at fault.

In my case, to fix it I needed both the Steering Update Kit, to prevent the loose connection between the SAS and Pittman pivot; and a replacement SAS, as mine was not giving consistent settings. BTW I got a used SAS, way less expensive, and it worked fine.

You don't really need the locking tool. There is a procedure in the service manual for resetting the SAS without it, basically rolling the Ryker forward and backward to get it pointing straight ahead, then resetting SAS and yaw rate sensor. It worked for me. I did not get the error codes, but had the left turn wobble issue, and this fixed it.

Thanks, I was keeping my fingers xd for the yaw sensor, it's cheaper. But while waiting on my BUDS2 kit, I've been going over the steering and suspension. I'm not getting any wiggles on anything there, so, I'll wait for my BUDS2. I'm guessing the BUDS2 will read the sensors so that I can have a pretty good idea of which one is off? And thanks for the heads up on the SAS roll reset. That stupid tool seems to be hard to find.
 
You'll not be able to tell if you need the Steering Update Kit by wiggling. The Service Bulletin explains the issue.

In my case, I could tell the SAS was bad because I would rezero it, ride, and then find that it was off by 4-5 degrees. I'm not sure that you can tell anything from the yaw rate sensor reading.
 
If you want the tool:

I've purchased parts from Leaders - they can be a bit slow.
 
@leeroyB, if it’s the locking tool I’m thinking of, it just amounts to a 6 mm bolt inserted through the hole in the arm and down into the threaded boss. Does that sound right? Daniel at BajaRon’s clued me in on that one.
