• 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.

    Passenger seat Installation problem

    Guess I still need to do more grinding and filing on mine. The lock keeps popping up while riding. Smacks my girlfriend right in the p.., groin, every time.

    Ryker 600 1000 mile update

    I’m guessing they won’t be very different. Mine is the Rally but the ECU senses when the passenger foot pegs are down and feels like it de-tunes the engine, or maybe just disables everything but eco mode. Still ‘enough' power though. FWIW, I was amazed that the Ryker felt more stable when...

    Tools needed for Ryker wheel change

    Got my 65 mm 12 pt socket and a big ass torque wrench. Damn, now all I need is a tire changing machine.

    Passenger seat Installation problem

    Got mine on after several hours of careful grinding on the mating surfaces of the seat and frame. The final .003" of needed clearance was made by removing the weight warning sticker on top of the seat mount. It was still a very tight fit. I was not impressed with the "snap on snap off...

    Ryker Rally CVT Noise

    I have the normal first take-off clunk and a smaller one on sudden deceleration but it's buttery smooth the rest of the time. (Rally version)

    Lamonster. a Ryker suggestion

    For cosmetics, about the only thing I want to change is to go naked with the front wheels. I've seen one done that way on YouTube and it looked good but seems like sacrilege to do it during the first month I own it. Maybe next month :) It's funny BRP put the street rear fender on the Rally...

    Ryker Accessory install videos

    Thanks to all. It really helps to know that it isn't something I'm doing wrong and that it is possible :) I'll break out the die grinder and start with the mating surfaces. Had to do that on the frame brace and loosen the seat frame bolts to get it in, come to think of it. PS: Wish I'd...

    600 vs 900 CVT

    I could go for an overdrive gear added to the gearbox for lower engine RPM and better MPG for interstate cruising. The 900 could easily pull a taller gear. I'd still want the low range for local trips though.

    Passenger seat Installation problem

    I can't get the seat to slide far enough back for the lock to engage the frame. It's about 5/8" forward of where it needs to be. Anyone had this problem and solved it?

    Checking final drive

    Yep, I noticed the same thing. I think it also improved a bit after the pads seated properly.

    Checking final drive

    Thought of one more thing I'd like to see on Rykers - An overdrive gear in the gearbox to lower engine RPM and improve fuel economy when cruising interstate. The 900 could easily pull taller gearing. I'd still want the current low range gear for around town though.

    Ryker Accessory install videos

    I'd be happy if I could get mine on. The instructions "look" crystal clear and easy. It isn't. The pegs go on pretty easy and straight forward. But that next to final step (Slide seat back into position) is where mine when very wrong. It simply refuses to slide back far enough for the lock...

    Oil leak/venting on Ryker Rally

    Oil added was 10W -30 full synthetic Mobil 1, just what I use in all my cars, bikes, airplanes, etc. The dealer didn't like it though, handed me a bill for an oil change when they brought it back.
