• 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.

    Ryker Mom installs the Slingmods 3 piece luggage kit

    I know what you mean - the only chance is to add a "spring travel limiter" in the rear shock - we (300lbs together) have the FOX shocks in the hardest position and if we bottom out the max-mount makes 2 "scars" on the rear "closed" fender of our 900 (the rubber rings costs 1 dollar - they should...

    Anyone had to replace their Ryker Battery yet? What with?

    my Ryker started also after the second winter "break" of around 100 days without any problem and without a charger - no reason to change it .. I use heated grips and a GPS - but no extra lightshow .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6NC6dAnQlk

    Ryker Rally front shock spring preload settings.

    We got a "rally" to test for a weekend, our 900 was in the shop for service. I would start with the softest settings on the front, our ones was adjusted for 2up and absolut uncomfortable on the side of our 900 ! Maybe its also about the higher handlebars what I use, no weight on the front and no...

    Ryker-bracket for a Shad Case on the left side

    My new project now. My girl wants more luggage for our next tour! So I want to install a bracket under the driver seat (on the same point where to right one is fixed) to add a second Shad-case. It should be "stronger" than the 3-case-Idea from Slingmods, where all the load is behind the...

    Normal Ryker vs. Rally - what did you choose and why?

    Can someone explain fully the 4 modes on a 900 rally

    As far as I know, the "Rally" mode works only up to 30 miles/hour - so you can turn the handlebars and the VSS does not block the rear wheel when it spins. I would love this effect on my Standard 900!!

    Ryker touring edition - saddlebags done different

    Ryker (not rally) rear tire options

    After 16,500 miles I now change to a Hankook Ventus V12 - they make a good price here ($70 ) because they're bringing out a new model... let's see if it fits in the fender, it should "brake" better than any other normal tire on the market, also do well on wet roads...

    Picked up my new Ryker

    There is a new order number for the "LEVER SET" 420248704 - instead of 420248686 (price is around $150) but maybe they changed the mapping only for our Euro 6 Models, they said it should need 10% less fuel than the old ones???

    Picked up my new Ryker

    Hello Neosniper, did you ride a 2019/20 Modell before ? I heard they changed something in the CVT Gearbox (the weights for the clutch) so the 2021 should run with lower RPMs than the old ones .. (I plan to change that on mine !!) - would be interesting to make a side by side test !! You should...

    Does the Ryker Rally need a better sway bar?

    I changed the bar on my 900 (not a Rally) from the red "stronger" BRP sway-bar to the BajaRon Sway bar - much better feeling - I would change it again (even tho it's a lot of work)!! We got a new "Rally" version (not with a stronger s-bar) to test for a weekend - the shocks where adjusted for...

    Ryker windshield - any recommendations?

    I bought the normal 900 and added their "Can-Am Outlander fairing" - so I have hand protectors, GPS, & Drinkholders. It's an easy plug & play system if you don't need it.

    Ryker - winter fairing

    I had time to find a new Design for it - she should look not so wide and "fit" better to the Ryker - but I'm still not 100% finished with it -
