• 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.

    Ryker 900 will not start - any recommendations?

    Thanks to all: Got the new battery into bike with some modification. I should have paid more attention to position of the battery terminals. Old battery had (+) in lower right position. The new battery has (+) upper right. So, with some stretching and adding a lug extension got it to fit...

    Ryker 900 will not start - any recommendations?

    All Thanks for the expert advice. Today with car battery attached got her starting and running but still in Limp mode. Got my boat out of garage blocking the bike. Got her out on the road going at bursts from 0 to 60mph. Errors disappeared, and Limp mode took a bit more time to finally give up...

    My Ryker Rally Adventure Thread

    Nightfalcon The USB/ACC is one fuse. I have connected strobe lights and other accessories to that circuit. This circuit is turned off by the computer after shutting down. Worst-case you could wire a 12 V relay to the jack and have the relay switch connect to the battery via a fuse sized like 10A...

    Ryker 900 will not start - any recommendations?

    Peter Also, thanks for the tip on pre charging the new battery. I have another Ryker 900 with no issues at present (knock on wood). Guessing it might be wise to buy a new battery for it as well. I been thinking with my engineer hat on which typically complicates things. Especially fixing...

    Ryker 900 will not start - any recommendations?

    Peter and Nightfalcon, I do have a battery monitor wired into bike so can see voltage at rest and cranking. And voltage does drop down to 10.5VDC. BLUFF: Charged battery along with a car battery and several attempt to start while adding starter fluid got motor to run. after idling for a while...

    Ryker 900 will not start - any recommendations?

    Peter thank you for taking the time to recommend things to check, with that said. Could it be that the kill-switch - computer does respond or not depending on position (think I am good there) Have you been trying any of these start failures with your foot firmly on the brake pedal?? YES...

    Ryker 900 will not start - any recommendations?

    After playing a bit more and checking DEFF key, engine will not crank at all with it removed, plus get message to check the key. For short period got a VSS code C1290 which appears in several places on this forum indicating high or low VCM voltage. I thought I heard an ignition when having a...

    Ryker 900 will not start - any recommendations?

    Updates: Starter fluid did not work. Tried the WOT and it just cranked. I found that with Throttle full open the engine cranks until the kill switch is turned off, before I had 5 sec shots at it. Also checked all fuses and all is good. The fuse for the fuel pump is shared with Injectors and...

    Ryker 900 will not start - any recommendations?

    Thanks a few good pointers to start off with. Will let you all know what happens. Think I would try the starter fluid first to see if I got ignition. Then try to rocket out of garage with WOT (and as suggested lift rear end)

    Ryker 900 will not start - any recommendations?

    What I know so far: Battery good, engine cranks Display activates as normal with no error messages, nor any stored codes, since reading codes does not appear in menu. Previously engine was running and soon after it stalled out. Could not restart. Thought fuel could have been contaminated, so...
