• 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.

    Cvt Belt Replacement

    I would say well over 90 percent of my miles are freeway speeds. Another thing it is very cool where I live, we have only hit 65 degrees once this year so far. But I do admit I get a little nervous about the long trips I take, most are 200 miles or more.

    rear lights fulll of water and right side dead

    I took them apart and dried them out, and also drilled a hole them which helps. I can plug the drilled hole if need be. I am actually thinking of replacing the whole back light system with an after market unit with BULBS than can be replaced but have not found anything yet. Even the HD dealers...

    Cvt Belt Replacement

    Thanks for the info, I have a belt and over 17,000 miles and know I am going to have to change it it soon. I also thought it could be done with just the 8mm bolt so it's good to know before hand.

    Better tires

    I might be the only one here who likes my Kenda tires, but I still wish there were options. Mine have taking many real beatings with pot holes and bad roads. Lots of rain, they don't have much ware after 15,000 miles and are wearing even. I don't see any facts here other than hear-say. No first...

    Is the oem drive belt carbon fiber

    I do remember those posts, I should find a better way to get a good look at it. I meant to try and look when I changed filters but forgot. Belts should way more 12,000.

    Is the oem drive belt carbon fiber

    I just bought a new drive belt just to have it on hand. Made me wonder if the oem belt is carbon fiber. If so I would think it should last well past the 12,000 recommended. I have over 15,000miles, will wait to change mine.

    Speakers

    I bought a Goldhawk stereo motorcycle last summer, installed it and then realized the Ryker is just to loud to hear music. Most all of my riding is at highway speeds, 55 mph or more so I just took the system off and put it back in the box. The speakers were quite loud but not enough. Years ago I...

    Ryker how-to-ryde-clip for beginners..

    FUN! I am stuck with the rykervirus and there seems to be no cure. It has been raining here for a week and most everything is closed, but it does not matter as long as I can get gas and open roads. There was a learning curve for me but that was almost 15,000 miles ago. Now it is second nature...

    Syn or semi syn 5-40?

    My 2 and 1/ 2 cents(inflation) Read the specs in your manual. I use any oil that meets the specs. The best mechanic I knew said it's more important to change the oil on time and according to the specs. There are going to be many folks who swear by there brand oil. Disregard the ads on the oil...

    Ryker 900cc performance upgrade

    Yeah I got one of those cam am windscreens, BUT I put on a horn that even scares me sometimes. I have a little less than 14,000 miles and it looks 10 years old. I try to take care of it but it was not made for salt air.
