• 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.

    Near time to replace OEM tires

    I am using Achilles ATR-K Economist 165/50R16 on the front. I do recommend modifying the small bracket that holds the wire to the running lights as it is close fit. What I did was remove the clip and drip a small hole through the tab and zip tie the wire. I went to three different tire shops...

    Any inputs on Ultimate vs Corbin for a Ryker?

    My Ryker came with the BRP Comfort seat. I bought a Corbin which I really liked the looks and it was more comfortable than the Comfort seat, but on a 4-5 hour ride it was still to hard. I replaced it with the Ultimate which is much better for long rides. Trip from Charleston to the Tennessee...

    Tire Pressure Science

    Yes, it does have to do with the Ryker Rally. Just replaced front tires with 165/50R16 and only one other person (that I know of) has made this change on the Ryker.

    Tire Pressure Science

    Is there any science behind the suggestion to use 18-20 lbs of pressure in the front tires when using an auto tire? You know like some some calculation based on the vehicle weight and tire load specs? Or is it all based on individual rider experience and how the bike handles and feels on the road?

    Ryker Front Tires - Car Tire?

    After going to four different shops, I found a shop that would mount the Achilles ATR-Economist 165/50R16 and they fit great. I did remove the clip that holds the wire to the running light, drill a small hole on the tab where the clip was attached and zip tied the wire. The clip did not touch...

    Ryker Front Tires - Car Tire?

    The OEM 145/60R16 are such a tight fit on the Ryker, I thought for sure the 165/50R16 would rub the inside fender. But, you run that size and have no issues?

    Questions about ryker fuel overflow locator

    I was used to topping off the tank on motorcycles, but I found with my Ryker when the gas nozzle shuts off, don’t try to top off. Every time I did that it would overflow.

    Ryker Front Tires - Car Tire?

    One of the problems with finding a front tire for the Ryker is the rim width of only 4.5 inches. (PPA rims on Slingmods are a 5" rim). I have found only one tire that is a possible solution, the Achilles ATR-Economist 165/50R16. Specs are All Season, V Rated (149mph), Load Range XL, Load Index...

    Left Turn Wobble?

    I made a post about the right tire wobble while making sweeping left hands turns about a year ago. This was during a trip to the mountains and noticed the wobble while on the Cherohola Skyway and other mountain roads. I did not notice any problems with the rear tire, and did not have any code...

    Anybody tried the 2-up Ultimate seat on their Ryker? Thoughts?

    I purchased my Ryker used and it came with the CanAm Comfort seat and it was ok, but only for about 75 miles. I switched to the Corbin seat and I really liked the looks, but one 5 hour trip to the mountains and I was shifting on the seat trying to get comfortable. So, I went to the Ultimate two...
