• 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.

    Anyone ever trailer a Ryker AND a motorcycle at the same time?

    EV yes I went front to back. The way I do it I can drive both vehicles both Straight on. The VTX weighs close to 1000 lbs with the bags and fairings, so kind of tough to manhandle it at my age. Also for the VTX I had a steel channel that I used to mount in my F150 with a front tire clamp on it...

    Anyone ever trailer a Ryker AND a motorcycle at the same time?

    Have done it. I have a 16 foot tandem axle trailer that is 77 inches wide with electric brakes. The motorcycle was loaded first. It is a 2002 Honda VTX1800 fully dressed with fairing and bags. My wife's Ryker was then loaded behind the bike. I loaded the bike first to be sure the trailer had...

    Ryker mph/rpm/reverse just froze & won't work - any ideas?

    Does it start? If not test the battery. Low voltage/bad battery can do some funky stuff with the electronics.

    POSSIBLE - BajaRon Full Sway Bar Kit Install Issue - Ryker Only

    No issues with my install. I prefer the bolts/screws to be on top so if they do come loose they hopefully won't fall out. So my Baja Ron logo lettering is upside down. I did have to go out and check because I knew I put them on the top when installed.

    Does the Ryker Rally need a better sway bar?

    Ron's bar is not that hard to install. I would say a 2 to 3 on 1 to 10 scale, and 10 being the most difficult.

    Ryker vs RSS - What's your opinion?

    Bought my wife a 600 when they came out and she loves it. She had never driven/ridden a motorcycle but did have experience with the old Honda ATC's. Let her lead one time and had to tell her to slow down through helmet comms. She was doing 85 in a 55...

    Accessory Plug

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Per the request of when it is hot it was noted above and now here. The plug becomes hot as soon as you start the bike. Dead when the bike is shutdown. I can cut it off and wire in my own plugs but wanted to keep it stock.
