• 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.

    Why the Ryker feels "Fast"

    I don't think the Ryker is all that fast from a standing start, but when it gets up to 20 or 30 mph it has plenty of torque. The kind of torque that you had better hold on tight. It has more speed than I will ever need, even passing rv's up a steep hill. I have hit 70 mph a couple of times and...

    Rykers Require 87 Octane - Not 92!

    Some years ago there were several studies on using higher octane. Not being sure what I was reading I was using 91, until I realized it only required 87 on re-reading the manual. The studies basically said using higher octane than required was a waste of money. The Ryker manual is poorly...

    Radio and 12 volt power supply

    Hi I bought a radio and speaker set that should be here shortly. I can't seem to recall but cant find the thread on 12v. I thought it said there was a 12v connection under the left panel. I don't want to do anything that could void my warranty, I might even wait till it has expired to install...

    Freight and Handling charges!

    I am lucky as my 900 cost just what the sticker says. In A little town called Sublimity Oregon and they delivered it for free, a 2 1/2 drive. Also no sales tax in Oregon. So mine cost $9,999. No freight and no handling fees.

    Ryker Oil?

    I used a certain oil brand of oil for close to 50 years. It keep getting more expressive and finally I had enough of it. I did some research on oil, and I agree with" forgot all the hype on the label" All oil has certain standards if the oil meets or exceeds the standards required by the engine...

    Did some inner state miles to day. Need a bigger windshield.

    I agree, the brp windshield is more like a very over priced toy. I already had a rock hit my full face visor, the windshield is way to short to do it's job unless your fairly short.

    WOW 48 mpg!!

    Now that you have reminded me I do. Guess I could have picked a better name. My is Scott by the way. I have been checking my mileage for so many years it is now a habit. I reset my trip odometer, and check my gallons. When it was full I normally stop and try not to top it off, this time I tried...

    WOW 48 mpg!!

    Mine is a Ryker 900, I am not sure what the coast has to do with mileage outside of no stop and go like city driving. I can go 100 miles and have only 2 or 3 stoplights. I noticed my old pt cruiser, my new Honda Civic and now the Ryker seem to get better than average mileage.

    Review: Today's Ride

    It also took me a little time to get used to the bumps and sways, but it is quite stable at highway speeds. I have to use 101 hwy any which way I go and that means 55 mpg. But by know I am quite comfortable with it. I kind of liken it to getting "sea legs" Can am did a great job with the Ryker...

    WOW 48 mpg!!

    It has finally warmed up to the fifties here. I have past 1,700 miles and I could see my mileage improving. After a couple of long rides I filled it up and my local gas station and 102 miles divided by 2.077 gallons gives me 48 mpg. It has been slowly improving over the last few weeks. I don't...

    MPG/flat.

    As much as I like my Ryker,the mph is a sore spot. The left side gas gauge does not work at all. 120 miles and not any movement, still show full. Miles to go never gives over 80 even though I am up to 33 or 35mpg with warmer weather. I found by resetting the mpg it seems to work a faster faster...

    Age of riders buying a Ryker

    I'm 66 and decided I don't want to fall over anymore. Plus I don't miss putting my feet down every time I stop. Or having my rear wheel slide from under me.

    Tools needed for Ryker wheel change

    I was happy to see this post about the tools. I have done all my own auto work since I was 15. Bought the tools, read the books. I like doing the work and if something is not right I have only myself to blame. I was wondering what socket was needed to get that wheel nut off. I will buy the...

    Autonomy

    I will have to try to hold it longer to get to those modes, I really don't use sport mode mode yet as I have to do a lot of corners at 55 mph and prefer the vss controls. At lower speeds I think sport mode would be fun.

    Autonomy

    Hi Lady s and Gents My first post on this forum. On my Ryker 900, it brings up the eco mode and sport mode. It did take some time for me to figure out the menus as I am kinda slow. I did get some help on this forum a weeks ago about the washers for the windshield, I might have cracked the...
