• 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.

    Any Upgrade to get rid of the Squeaky Brakes?

    Big fan of EBC sintered copper - they tend to run quieter than most, can take a lot of punishment, and break in quick. Numbers for the Ace ... same pads should also work on the Rally, but don't quote me on that, eh. Rear - FA317R Ft Lt - FA165R Ft Rt - FA135R

    Panel Popped Loose - how does it go back in?

    Looks like it's still hooked right, just not seated properly. Give the bottom of the panel a couple whacks and see if it doesn't pop into place. Don't worry about breaking anything - those are some amazingly strong panels that can take a lot of punishment.

    New member - Few new additions & looking for exhaust recommendations

    Oh, ida know. All that weight down low makes for better handling. ;-} I've got enough expanded metal here to make a cover for the muffler body. That and some header ceramic black paint should do the job.

    New member - Few new additions & looking for exhaust recommendations

    +1 on liking the stock exhaust. Has a pleasant tone once it breaks in, and IMHO, the engine really isn't made for loud for the sake of loud. Besides, I LIKE being able to hear the turbo whine of the CVT blending in with the exhaust. Not saying I wouldn't be tempted if someone comes up with a...

    HowTo: Build your own Ryker Reverse Shifter

    Windshield for Ryker - what are you guys running?

    Had a bit of fun with mine. Added SaengTa Stealth Edging to the standard shield, along with a pair of universal hand bubbles and a pair of universal bar clamps. Really improved the envelope, eh ...

    Ryker starting in gear

    It'll start, but beep at ya and not allow the clutch to engage without disabling the parking brake. Makes sense as that's an actual pin that could rip things up if hit with a bunch of revs.

    Here is a little something to help keep you alive

    ... keeping in mind you'd lose the G sensor that automatically lights with any decel. That's where the BrakeFree and the like ... er ... shine ... Then again, you're talking a big bunch of bucks for that sensor. ;-}

    Picked up my new Ryker

    Apples and oranges? The new clutch weights are more to reduce the <CLUNK> to a <clunk> and get rid of a lot of the chatter when the drive engages. Mapping has also changed a bit to reduce rpm at highway cruising speed. PS - rumor has it the new weights have replaced the old ones in the...

    Newbie with questions on ordering a 2022 model

    Yup. Bought it in 2018 when I was suddenly unable to drive a two wheeler any more. My timing was off by THAT much, eh. As it is, I didn't even know the Ryker existed until recently and scored me a shiny new 900 Ace. (insert ***** eating grin here). Still got the Ural too, if only as a reminder...

    There Is A New 2022 Rally

    Stopped by the dealer today, and he looked high and low for any mention of a retro kit. No joy in Mudville ... yet. ;-(

    Which Deceleration module/brake light flasher do you recommend?

    PS ... came up with another high tech option. Tap the brake pedal a couple times any time I'm slowing down. <G>

    Newbie with questions on ordering a 2022 model

    My 900 Ace got stuck north of the border due to that covid thing. When the border opened again, time for the customs agents to strike . (mutter mumble) Definitely worth the wait though. Yeah. Definitely ... PS ... dealer ate all the weird transport and assembly fees on my '21. Only shop...

    Newbie with questions on ordering a 2022 model

    Factory cruise control on a Ryker? First I've heard. Not confusing it with a Spider? Only one I've heard of is a mechanical type like the Atlas or Vista ...

    CVT side air filter vs. engine side air filter

    Only "problem" is not reading the directions. You want to have a good even coat of oil (I spray the filter, let it sit a minute or two, spray it again, and then knock it lightly around the edges to shake out any excess. Last step is to let it drip out overnight before installing. DO NOT use...

    Will Lamonster Black Dymond footrest & full-size brake pedal work together?

    Tried the large brake pedal here with craptacular results. I prefer to "cover" the pedal with my toes, and the additional height of the pedal (about 1/2") screws with the clearance. Adjusting the pedal height puts it either too high or too low for comfort and ease of use. The smaller pedal...
