• 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.

    Being seen

    Just replaced the stock horn with a nice little Wolo Full Blast. Lower tone and louder for a bit more authoritah. Even uses the stock bracket with a longer bolt and spacer so it tucks down just behind the fuse box. Plenty of clearance around the sensitive bits and no need for a relay as it's a...

    Being seen

    Nice kit, but wondering if the turn signals can be set for solid blinks instead of the sequential thing. After all, we're just trying to be seen, not induce epileptic attacks ... Also wondering why they can't sell just the red lights. Looks like you could even use the same wiring harness - just...

    Which Deceleration module/brake light flasher do you recommend?

    ... and yet another option. Similar to the Steel Mate, only smaller and made for bicycle helmets. Cheaper, and I figure the G Force sensor will be a whole lot more responsive as we're talking maybe a maximum of 20mph. Smaller will fit the half helmet better too. Got one coming, and I'll post...

    Which Deceleration module/brake light flasher do you recommend?

    Another one I just found on Amazon. Smaller than the Brake Free, but I'm thinking that would be a good thing on a half helmet. Also a third the price with the same options, plus a running light! The Amazon unit is branded Sykik and the video is for a Steel Mate, but they look like the same...

    Which Deceleration module/brake light flasher do you recommend?

    Been looking at the Brake Free helmet module. Also G Force sensitive and won't trigger if you're just looking around or doing a mirror check. Ultra bright and rechargeable. You can get additional magnetic mounts for the light for multiple helmets, and I'm thinking the back of my trunk should...

    Air box mod for your Ryker

    Biggest issues would be wet weather riding. I'd think about leaving a flap behind the modified intake to direct airflow away from the engine intake. DO expect a few extra db's due to extra airflow (with a high flow filter) and let's not forget upper engine noise - that twisty air path on the...

    Can Am Says No More Ryker Rally's

    OK ... some internals are different, but ... wondering if they can be swapped in. I was pleasantly surprised how many Yamaha VMax parts would bolt right into my Royal Star. Cams, lifter springs, changing out the rear drive ratios, and reprogramming the ECU made for a real road warrior, eh...

    Can Am Says No More Ryker Rally's

    Anybody try mounting up the turbo kit from the 900 snowmobile engine? Sounds like a fun project.

    COVER recommendation for Ryker

    Just picked up on one of the ultra guard covers from Amazon for $50, supposedly sized for the Ryker. Looks like there's plenty of room at the top for my stuff (adventure shield and Rigg commuter trunk. Guess I'll find out when it gets here...

    Jake sold his Ryker Rally

    Anybody got a production count for the couple of years the Rally was in production? Might be rare lil birds ... PS - for anyone might not have heard, rumor has it the model's been discontinued, and the last one ever has left the building ...

    alternative front tires for the Ryker

    Any tires that will fit that are mirror tread? Seems to me having both fronts with the same pattern would want to pull the bike to one side or the other. Not really a problem with a couple tons of car, but I'd think a responsive 600 pound three wheeler would make any pull more noticeable...

    Electronic cruise control install

    Couple coats of this will seal anything. It's an insulator, and peelable if necessary. Also holds up to heat. A bit of black tape first to seal any holes that might be hard to peel is probably a good idea.

    Rally does fairly well in grass

    Snow? Figure it started out as a snowmobile, so strap some skis on it and see wot happens? <G> I used to ride my fat tire eBike on the winter trails regularly. Knobby road tires running around 10 pounds of air gave it a good sticky footprint. PS - not all that far fetched on an idea. I...

    Loud whining sound at idle after a fairly short run

    There ... fixed it for ya ... <G> That said, my Royal Star's fuel pump will whine some when sucking fumes. Not actually any louder, but the big gas tank makes a great resonator. PS ... anyone get down and dirty yet with a mechanic's stethoscope to track down exactly where the noise is coming...

    Ryker Rear Wheel Camber??

    Yup yup ... that's the wider wheelbase and bigger contact patches. One of those little surprises that may take some getting used to, especially if coming over from two wheelers. Secret is to limit the OMG moments to WTF moments when possible. ;-} PS - anyone experimenting with front end...

    Ryker Rear Wheel Camber??

    Good point on the offset though, even if it doesn't seem to make much sense. My Ural has a pretty unique setup as well, with adjustments for road pitch and toe in for the sidecar wheel. Brakes and lean angle are also adjusted to compensate for a tendency to pull right on decel (typical boxer...

    Ryker Rear Wheel Camber??

    Time for some minor body adjustment then ... wanna borrow my hammer? <G> What you did to check the front end are good steps to add to your regular walk around - kick the tires and light the fires! PS - bent bodywork could certainly fool the eye. Shouldn't be an issue though if you measure...

    Ryker Rear Wheel Camber??

    Yup - far as I know, there's no camber adjustments for the swingarm, so I'd also suspect a front end issue. Maybe a simple preload setting that's off? Tire pressure? Whatever - whatever way the rear is leaning would be the front end side to look at first.
