• 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.

    Fuel Gauge Quit, still shows Empty after filling - any ideas what's happened?

    Some people had troubles after they installed Magic Mirrors to get rid of the crappy spring clamps they used to have! The magnets would mess the gauge up because they were too close, that's what I ran into. I loved the magnets more than the gauges, so I went digital, I think they were more...

    They put a good brake on them now, back in the day not so much! Now if they would work on the suspension! Something a little more adjustable!:cool:

    How I fixed my Twitchy brakes!

    I had ridden an RTL for a few years before I went to a open house at one of the local dealerships and did a test ride on a Ryker. Wow, what a little rocket! And yes, with it not weighing very much, it was VERY responsive to hand guidance, you can very easily over steer those things! They are...

    2010 RTS - unexplained quitting fixed & some Engine mods.

    Well, to check for cracked boots, you can take some carb cleaner or starting fluid and LIGHTLY spritz it around the boots while the engine is running and see if you get an rpm change!

    Rear brake caliper piston will not fully retract any ideas? Or just rebuild &/or replace?

    I went through this brake gremlin with a friends RT, Ural is his BEST bet, BRP really wasn't much help! Ural uses the same brake assembly on their bikes today that we use on the older style bike we have! There's really not very much inside that brake assembly that can go wrong, except the screw...

    Rear brake caliper piston will not fully retract any ideas? Or just rebuild &/or replace?

    If you were in the US, I would send one to you, got one in my spare parts box! Snowbelt hit the ball out of the park again like always, got to wind back that shaft!

    My Running lights are staying on - 2020 Spyder RTL! Any ideas?

    Maybe Snowbelt will chime in here, but I would say there is a relay sticking on somewhere in the ignition loop! Good luck, I HATE electrical Gremlins!

    Ryker newbie - how do I break in the CVT belt? Any other tips?

    When you're in there and opened up, take an air hose and give the clutches a good blow down, get any loose belt dust and road dust out of there! Dirt is your enemy; it wears out parts!

    Fuel Gauge Quit, still shows Empty after filling - any ideas what's happened?

    If you want to try another gauge, I still have a temp and gas gauge in my spare parts box that I took off my 2012 that were working fine when I took them off! I wanted the digital gauge, so I got blanks to fill the holes and made the swap! Send me a DM.

    Anyone experienced vibrations in their 2026 Sea to Sky Mirrors, like those in earlier 2020+ models?

    Like @ned64 said, if yours are shaking, they make a kit out there to stop that!

    Just sold my Harley and have follow up questions - what spec RT; Base, Ltd, Sea to Sky? Used, or new?

    My thoughts about this, ie. how much wiggle room do they have on a used machine, is that they own that bike cheap and they have plenty of room to work! So, it may cost you some time and a LOT of haggling, but beat them down to where you feel good about the deal. You may have to walk, but they...

    Shimmy in front steering under heavy acceleration - any ideas on cause/fixes?

    If it's on your Ryker and you have the good shock package, I would try to put a little more preload on the back shock go a turn, turn and a half and see if that helps if it seems like it is, keep going till it gets to where you like it, just a little at a time! How are the front tires wearing...

    Engine Trouble - intermittently won't start! Any ideas on what to look for?

    When you're working on this old iron, a lot of us have been through the steps to keeping them on the road and have some good tips now and then! When was the last time you checked your plugs and wires? And if you're going there, I would look into the air box delete kit that BajaRon has for the...

    Canyon Front Tires Rubbing the Fenders

    I wonder if a person could shim the fender up a little with washers??? There were issues years back when guys were putting car tires on and had to shim out!! Good luck Sarah!!

    Ryker newbie - how do I break in the CVT belt? Any other tips?

    And like I said if it really hitting hard all the time then your primary clutch could have a broken spring or bad bushings! Have you ever ridden another Ryker to compare yours with another? Good Luck

    Recommend anyone for a Sway Bar Install In So Cal?

    This was posted in 2019, but I did mine off a set of car ramp off the floor, yes, it was tight, and yes, it was a 2012 RTL, but I got it done!!!
