• 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.

    BEST Warranty

    Jaxfann, check the paperwork; as I understand it, BEST is NOT sold in Florida due to some Florida law about warranties. I've never looked into it so don't know for sure. :dontknow: Francis

    RECALL - ALL 2019 and 2020 Ryker Models - Wheel Nuts

    My Ryker 600 has the K in the VIN, but was built in 11/18 according to the sticker so the K can't represent the year built. Unless the ones being built in 2019 actually aren't. :dontknow: Francis

    Ryker canister-ectomy???

    It does seem to be the fuel pump. I have a video clip I made when I went to start the Ryker after sitting in the sun all day long. In the video, when I press the Engine Start Button then flip the Engine Stop Switch to on, the pump starts to whine before I twist the throttle forward to activate...

    Ryker swaybar headshake

    After I purchased my Ryker, I noticed that the alignment was way off. So far off that after just 4 months both the front tires were almost bald on the inside treads. The dealership replaced the tires and since then I have had a severe head shake like you describe. Still trying to work with the...

    The "honeymoon" may be over

    How to read the fault code using the multifunction Gauge Note: A fault code must have the "Active" state to be displayed in the multifunction gauge. Other fault code states must be read using the BRP diagnostic software (BUDS2). If a fault is detected, an indicator light and a fault message may...

    The "honeymoon" may be over

    About a month after I got my 600, I was in the middle of a slight S turn and the VSS light came on and Limp Mode displayed. I limped the 4 miles home (never got over 42mph). The only dealer in Jax (also where I purchased the Ryker) made arrangements to come by my house pick up the Ryker. They...

    Ryker Rally fuel pump howl

    Oh, and I've seen where others have apparently over-filled the tank (or didn't place the gas nozzle all the way in the neck of the tank) and the gas overflows from a tube that lets out at the front right wheel. Francis

    Ryker Rally fuel pump howl

    On my Ryker 600, the level of fuel isn't a factor as much as the temperature. High heat gets it to wail, empty or full tank. It will wail when the system is activated, stop, then wail again when the engine is started. After riding a while, it apparently stops as when I get to my destination, no...

    Where did you get your "Handle"?

    While in the Navy, the other sailors didn't want to use (or couldn't pronounce) my last name so they shortened it to Freeze. Hard to find that name free now, so added initials; FreezeFM Francis

    WHY Does The Ryker Get such POOR MPG???

    My wife says she is comfortable on the back of the Ryker. Standard seat, 2-up rear spring set on 1. Together we weigh around 320 lbs. Francis

    Loud whining sound at idle after a fairly short run

    It seems to be related to temperature only. Filled up or low on fuel, I have heard the "whine". I don't think it's a venting issue as I have heard it after the Ryker has sat all day in the sun. The whine starts at the power up process before starting the engine, it stops when the fuel pressure...

    Couple basic riding questions

    I use my left hand for 80 - 85% of the steering effort. That leaves my right hand pretty free to actually control the throttle. Francis
