• 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.

    Rear rotor and brake pad.

    Has the rear wheel been off the bike for some reason? Could the rotor have become damaged during handling?

    How can you tell....... when it's time to change the CVT Belt?

    It would be great if someone did a video documentation of the process so that the DIY among us could benefit.

    Rear tire replacement time

    It did not seem that removing the rotor was related to wheel removal from the axle; rotor removal was done after the wheel was removed. Rather it appeared to be done prior to tire exchange and balance of the wheel. The video did not explain the reason for rotor removal just the difficulty on...

    Rear tire replacement time

    When you got the new tire mounted and balanced was it necessary to remove the brake rotor from the wheel? I just watched a youtube video where the owner did just that. It didn;t seem necessary and looked like a bunch of trouble

    Drilling through Max Mount

    I didn't want to drill into my Max Mount so I purchased one of these mounting plates out of Canada. https://spyderzone.ca/en/product/linq-attachement-plate-for-ryker-top-case/ The GIVI mount is bolted to the plate and the plate attaches to the Max Mount like any other accessory.

    Review: 2020 Ryker 6,000 mile review

    I have to agree with Doc about this. I have had a lot of parking lot questions about my Ryker Rally and positive comments. I have also had my annual safety inspection done at the local Harley Davison dealer twice (2019 and 2020). Both times the grizzly hard core Harley technicians have all...

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    The rubber bushings have not bulged; they are exactly as they were when installed. My "guess" is that the extra rubber material outside the shackle is there to prevent the bushing from moving laterally. The washers I used were just to prevent the shackle from sliding back and forth on the bolt.

    Ryker ride through Moses Lake Wa.

    Greg, based on your videos it seems pretty quiet behind that windscreen (even at interstate speed). What is it, and do you look over it or through it?

    Engine oil capacity differences between 2019 & 2020?

    Part number for the 2020 model is also 420656905. It appears only the dip stick was changed.

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    I used 5 washers per end and others have used 6. It is all about the thickness of the washers.

    Engine oil capacity differences between 2019 & 2020?

    So back to the discussion of engine oil capacity. BRP has changed the dip stick from 2019 to 2020. The dipstick for the 2019 model is yellow, has a measured distance of 6&1/2 inches from the contact point above the o-ring to the full line; part number is 420856675. For the 2020 model the dip...

    Rear tire replacement time

    Wow, the roads in Indiana must not be anywhere near as abrasive as the chip seal abominations we have here in Texas. At 7,000 miles I am down to 6/32nds and I do not expect to make 10,000 miles. I will be interested to hear how you like the Dunlop.

    Rear tire replacement time

    Could you provide a photo of your tread with 21K miles? I have only about 7K miles on my Rally and I am down to the rain "wear Bars" if I am reading it correctly. If I am interpreting something wrong I would like to know.

    Shake Rattle & Roll - Tires Un-Balanced, Alignment or Both?

    Just a question. Can you see the tires hopping up and down at that speed? I had a similar problem with just my right tire; I could see it hop at 50-55. I took it to an automotive tire shop and had them spin balance it. They removed the single weight on that tire and now it is as smooth as...

    Being seen

    There is a local motorcycle police officer that wears a fluorescent yellow jacket and white helmet while on patrol. He has a reputation for being tough on moving violations and registration compliance. When I ride I wear a fluorescent yellow jacket and white helmet. The way I see it if they...

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    Little change in handling. The seat is several inches higher so you feel slightly more body roll just due to the seating position. The spring rate and damping rate on the shocks seem to be well balanced.
