• 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.

    Anyone considered towing a Cargo Trailer with their Ryker?

    With the frunk, the Shad side luggage and a large Nelson Rigg or other brand rear case behind the seat, you can haul quite a bit. I manage 4 day road trips this way (with motel lodging, not camping).

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    I replaced the lock on my frunk because the person before me did not install it correctly. And yesterday I put a cup holder on the handlebar of the Ryker 900. I love the guys at Sling Mods, but you can get a really nice almost all metal cup holder on ebay for about $21. Now if it will get...

    Ryker Frunk Lock Won't Open - any ideas?

    The End of the Saga Well, as I guessed above, the original latch and bar (that should have been removed on install of the keyed lock) were just so tough, that I could not force it open again. I finally was able to see along side the lock and see the place where it should open. I drove an awl...

    Ryker Frunk Lock Won't Open - any ideas?

    Thanks for your offers of help guys, even you Spyder guys, any attempt at help is appreciated. So, I managed to wiggle the lock loose and when enough of it was exposed and knowing it was all plastic, I just cut it off. The problem of it sticking so bad was probably because the install was done...

    Ryker Frunk Lock Won't Open - any ideas?

    Hi, Bought my 2019 Ryker from a guy a couple months ago. Frunk lock has worked fine several times since. It is locked now, and the key rotates fine, but I cannot get it open. I did finally get the lock /tab to rotate, and I thought I might just get it to come out. Now it is just loose, but I...

    Fuel Gauge & Miles to Empty Stuck - any ideas on fix?

    Thanks everybody. I certainly am used to using a trip odometer and reset it to zero at each gas fill. I just liked having the clock up there and the instant reading of the "miles til empty" reading. Having only played with the trip odometer once I thought I remembered it was harder to get to...

    Fuel Gauge & Miles to Empty Stuck - any ideas on fix?

    I have a 2019 Ryker 900 ACE. On a recent road trip with a couple non-Ryker riders, I tried to fill my gas take as full as possible each time with an extra couple of clicks of the gas pump after its auto shut off. After the second last attempt, the fuel gauge and the "Miles to Empty" both did...

    What makes a Spyder's smoother ride vs. Ryker?

    Hi Everybody, Thanks again for all the great input and ideas. Yesterday I dropped the tire pressure 2# all around and rode a loop I had done a couple weeks ago. I do feel like it made a difference, but per your warnings, I won't drop the Kendas any further. I have the end links on order and a...

    What makes a Spyder's smoother ride vs. Ryker?

    Thanks to Peter, Sarah, and BajaRon for your input. I will tread lightly on changing tire pressures. Ba Ha Ha, get it, TREAD lightly!! I will drop 2 # all around for my Wednesday ride and call that good enough. Sarah, there is no question I would be much more comfortable on a Spyder, but it...

    What makes a Spyder's smoother ride vs. Ryker?

    Hi Sarah, Thanks for your note. Funny when I rode it 60 miles home from the purchase it bounced the crap out of me. The guy had the tire pressures all over the place and all at least 10-15 pounds over recommendation. I brought them down to the owners manual (I think 25 front 28 rear) and that...

    What makes a Spyder's smoother ride vs. Ryker?

    Yes, I have been to the top 5 or 6 times. Just got the Ryker about a month ago, so Kitt Peak is one the list for a couple weeks from now. Then if it warms up, Mt Lemmon. Not sure if we can post links, but when nobody was sure if the Kitt Peak road was open after being closed for quite some time...

    What makes a Spyder's smoother ride vs. Ryker?

    All good stuff, thanks. I am the original "smell the roses guy". I am known for leading back road rides and going as slow as traffic will allow. But sometimes you just have to take that certain road that you have to at least do 45 on due to traffic. If the road is not in great shape, it...

    What makes a Spyder's smoother ride vs. Ryker?

    Thanks guys. I of course figured that for the higher price you got better suspension, etc., but had not thought of some of the other things you mentioned. I love to hear the stories of you that are my age and still riding long trips. Several of you said you never tried a Ryker and thought they...

    What makes a Spyder's smoother ride vs. Ryker?

    Hi All, I am lurking in here from the Ryker forum. I bought a Ryker as I needed to go to 3 wheels due to loss of strength and balance. But I feel like I take quite a beating operating and riding the Ryker (I am a fit 75 y.o.) I thought that would not bother me as the most I would ever do is...

    Need advice on Removing Ryker OEM Comfort Passenger seat... Any tips?

    YUP, the rubber mallet made it easy to drive the seat off the MAX mount. Wow, that seat is heavy. Now to see if I can figure out a way to attached my SHAD 54 case from off of my Honda to my Ryker. I will research some kind of adapter first, then go more "outside of the box" if no adapters are...
