• 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.

    Once again, BRP didn't show up for Daytona Bike Week!!

    Whoa there Bucko! Just 'cause some of us don't want to ride a lounge chair is no reason for name-callin'.;)

    can someone explain how the wildly different gearbox oil specs make sense?

    No, it has a CVT AND a gearbox (which allows the basic gear selection: Forward - Neutral -Reverse). My original post was indeed about the Ryker gearbox and the seemingly weird oil options...I later added a comment about the final drive oil (noting that it didn't have weird options)

    Naked photos? ......No, not THAT sort, but of the Ryker??

    Thanks chris56 - I don't know if that's your Ryker in the pics, but do you have information on those tires? Oh, and I found sort of the type of image I'm looking for...

    That's what I intend to do also! Thanks for your insights on this topic BajaRon.

    can someone explain how the wildly different gearbox oil specs make sense?

    Rather a non sequitur, but in case anyone is wondering...no weirdness in the specs.

    Naked photos? ......No, not THAT sort, but of the Ryker??

    No, not those kind - the Ryker kind!;) I searched around the web and cannot find what I seek. I'd like to see photos of Rykers stripped of their plastics (maybe with the seat/tank off too) - glamour shots of sorts showing the core mechanicals/frame/etc.[examples attached]. Cutaway or technical...

    can someone explain how the wildly different gearbox oil specs make sense?

    T'was early on a rainy Saturday morning, and I was doing some light reading in the 2022 Ryker Operators Guide. Interesting reading, but then things get weird and it turns out to be a mystery story! There, on page 119, I discover a plot twist/puzzle/conundrum! As you can see in the attached...

    Review: New owner impressions

    I'm not finding much in the way of 165/50/16s here in the US [Achilles ATR-K Economist 165/50 R16 77V...never heard of "Achilles" but the name doesn't seem to bode well for a tire I need to depend on:shocked:]

    Review: New owner impressions

    The limitations are that the sole front tire that is the OEM size is the sole OEM tire - the Kenda. Kenda's would be my last choice for an OEM sized street tire...IF I had a choice. That said, I will find alternatives - even if I need to modify or remove the fenders.

    Any info on Track Days for Spyders? (Northern CA)

    North edge of Elk Grove, and Fair Oaks, in Sac County. To get to something other than straight County roads, I either head west 10 minutes to the Delta if in EG, or east about 5 minutes into the foothill if in FO.

    Any info on Track Days for Spyders? (Northern CA)

    I've been poking around to find out if there are track day opportunities for us, and I'm not finding anything. I called a provider I've used for MCs here in CA for Sonoma and Thunderhill and they don't allow us (dissimilar "width" and "lines" issues), and I looked on here and SRASacramento's...

    Review: New owner impressions

    I bought a new 2022 Ryker 900 ACE on Saturday (2/25/23) and have about 50 miles on it (rainy and cold here...got caught in a downpour yesterday afternoon!). I've been riding MCs for 40+ years, and also a 2012 Can AM Outlander 1000 since new. I did a brief Can Am (spyder or ryker I can't recall)...

    Hey Ya'll We Got A New Member! Lets welcome AreWeNotMen to SL

    glad to be here I plan/expect to get my new 2022 Ryker Sport on Friday or Saturday. I've been pondering such on and off for a few years, and figured I ain't getting any younger so what the heck. I come from MC's and ATV's (still own and ride: '01 Honda VFR800 Interceptor, '04 Honda XR400R, '17...
