• 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.

    What experiences have you had with Lithium Batteries?

    Hello there is no such thing as counters for charging - most lithium batteries for cars bikes etc. will last 8-10 years and still work. The biggest problem is the alternator voltage is set at a lower level voltage for AGM lead gel. Lithium requires a higher voltage. Mike www.rvvolt.com

    Has Anyone Switched fron an F3-T to a Ryker?

    I went to my local dealer to pick up a Ryker as a second machine to my F3T and after spending some time on the Ryker it would be less painful to slit my wrists, so I ended up getting a 2nd F3L instead. Here's my findings on the Ryker...

    Can Am Ryker 900 Hard Fact’s - Mike Mas

    Bad to The Bone! Hey guys - While a bit off topic, as I mentioned in my review comparing the Ryker's CVT verses a Dual Clutch Transmission, Honda just introduced the first Dual Clutch Transmission in a side by side. Just for information purposes, here's a short video showing the Dual Clutch...

    WHY Does The Ryker Get such POOR MPG???

    Hey guys - Since CVT drives are new to a lot of bike riders, here's a fairly descriptive video on a CVT drive. While this differs from the BRP clutch, it shows the same working principles. While these clutches are simple in operation, on motorcycles they have always been prone to problems...

    Can Am Ryker 900 Hard Fact’s - Mike Mas

    Hello - Just because the Ryker has shortcomings in its design, does not mean the bike is unusable or owners should get rid of them. If you’re considering a Ryker, at least now you’ll know the score up front, this makes you a more informed buyer. If you already own a Ryker, keep riding and...

    What's Wrong with the Ryker?

    After you ride a Spyder for 5-10 years like a lot of guys on this forum, you don't have to buy a Ryker to find its faults. In 15-20 minutes of my 3 hour ride, on some not so smooth windy roads, I immediately noted some problems. It's not a rocket science motorcycle, it basically a stripped down...

    What's Wrong with the Ryker?

    Jax, Sorry if I offended you - I'm not trying to find fault or de-value the Ryker, just shed some light that it has a some faults. The only thing that matters is that you're happy! Enjoy your ride - Mike

    WHY Does The Ryker Get such POOR MPG???

    It's Simple - When the Ryker is doing 60 mph, the engine is turning 5700 rpm. When a Spyder is doing 60 mph, its only turning around 3000 rpm, so your burning more fuel and wearing your engine almost twice as fast as a Spyder. Regards - Mike

    What's Wrong with the Ryker?

    Thanks for your comments but you're way off with your wish for a narrower track, if anything the Ryker needs to be wider. The Ryker has a terrible suspension system so the tires are seldom on the ground in anything less than a perfect road surface. During curves, over-steer is constantly lifting...

    Pictures of my New Girl - Mike Mas

    Hey guys - Just wanted to share some images my pretty F3 Limited! While she’s primarily the same as my older 2016 F3T, I noticed she does offer a slightly better ride, up and downshifts much easier and a bit quieter. The major difference is the her great color which constantly changes. I was...
