• 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.

    My Ryker Jockey Shifter installed!

    I got mine, and lovin' it ... But. Linkage either rettled like hell or the shift riser scratched the side cover. Found a nice silicone clutch lever pad left over from another project and installed that on the shifter shaft. That's held in place with a couple spots of glue. Some buff and...

    Ryker comfort seat installation.

    I took the easy way out, and had the dealer install mine. ;-} Not a bad idea to use a heat gun on any tabs like that when the temp dips though. I don't know of many plastics that won't soften up a bit with a bit of heat. Even a blow dryer will work in a pinch, but make sure you get it back...

    Thinking of Switching to a Ryker

    Couple of items to try if that's the only problem you've got with your current ride. - A Corbin seat is quite a bit narrower than the stock saddle in most cases. - Handlebar adjustment. Sit the saddle, close your eyes, and reach out to where your brain wants grips to be. Repeat as needed to...

    Damaged clip on front end - any easy way to fix?

    I've rebuilt fairings as well as custom parts pretty much from scratch using PlastiFix. Basically, clean the plastic, fill the cracks with the powder, then apply the liquid using the needle bottle provided with the kit. Gives you a solid bond IMHO better than welding can. I also reinforce the...

    Anyone tried Handle Bar End Weights? Any good??

    More front end oscillation than bar vibration, ain't it? I've been toying with the idea of adding a damper to the steering to see if there's an improvement there. Worked wonders on my Ural sidecar rig. Seems like the center tie rod that runs along the top of the motor would be a perfect place...

    Reverse Shifter mod.

    I like mine, especially not having to bend over and have that silly beeper right in my ear ... Only complaint for me is the lever rubs on the body panel. Plan was to tuck it in tight to keep it from rattling around at idle. I've since added a rubber sleeve to the lever and covered the worn...

    Ryker 900 stutter / hesistation in reverse

    About the reverse problem - Mine was doing the same thing and the solution was to adjust the shift handle. It wasn't going all the way to the stop. Next time iet happens, try applying a bit of force to make sure the lever is all the way over.

    Ryker Road Glide Rack Mod

    Tempts me to pull my Max Mount. Been looking at ways to add small bags to mine. Currently just have an expandable trunk zip tied to the Max - it works, but a flat mounting surface would be killer, and strapping bags to the rack's rails would be easy. Great handholds for a passenger too. Add...

    Can Ryker passenger foot pegs be purchased separately fm the pillion seat?

    Ever consider adding an extra peg to the left rail? Clips right on, and provides a handy step up if needed. I use mine as an extended foot board as well, resting my toes on the front peg and sliding my heel back against the rear peg. ** Rumor has it you can get an extra peg for the right rail...

    All Performance Upgrades - Do they work?

    End derail? ;-} Liking the BRP upgraded sway bar and links. Tightened things up a lot. Just wish someone would come up with an adjustable steering damper to make the thing less twitchy on bad pavement. Nudge nudge ... PS - The gurus did just that for my Ural sidecar rig, using a VW Rabbit...

    Anyone Changed Ryker brake fluid? Any Feedback or suggestions?

    Plan to vacuum bleed? Big fan of the MityVac pump here ... Just gotta keep the MC topped off while working on it. (And no, haven't bled my Ace yet, so no specific help there) :popcorn: ** Helpful (?) Hint > DO plan on replacing fluid annually in Cold Country. Stuff will soak up a lot of water...

    New Ryker rider ? on extended warranty on '20 Rally 900 - Go or No-Go?

    Bunch of third party warranty companies out there. Some good, some bad. I got a two year warranty on a 10 year old Transit thru the dealer. Never needed it, so no idea the quality of parts and service it would have provided. PS ... be careful. Some have hidden "gotchas" like how long the...

    Ryker Hand Brake Now Available

    I'd be happy enuf with just the foot brake if there was any way to adjust the pedal effort. I always just put enough pressure on two wheeler back brakes to keep the back like ... in back where it belongs. Same amount of pressure won't do much on a Ryker. PS ... not talking about messing with...
