• 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.

    Mechanic Wanted in Florida

    I'm in Lake Placid FL and dealers are 2 hours away. I went to one dealer because of a problem with my Ryker's VSS kicking in way early on left turns only. I was charged $170 to be told there was no problem. This was after I pointed out a service bulletin dealing with such problems that called...

    2014 Can Am Spyder RSS SE5 project

    I wrapped up (literally) this project a few weeks ago, with a stereo and Denali auxiliary lights. I have added about 1300 miles; everything is working well. I did enjoy the build process and making the few minor repairs that it needed.

    2022 Ryker Rally - Rattle in Drive Shaft/Under Seat at Low RPM/Speed - any ideas?

    It's likely a broken roller on the driven pulley of the CVT causing the belt to be loose and bang against the case. https://youtu.be/2JnUti9tuwE

    Fuel Gauge & Miles to Empty Stuck - any ideas on fix?

    That would be my guess based on what you described. I had to replace my fuel pump twice; the first time I did not get it right and it stuck on full.

    Ryker goes into neutral while riding - any ideas?

    Based on what you have said, it's most likely the Forward switch or a bad connection to it.

    Ryker goes into neutral while riding - any ideas?

    When you say it won't move when displaying the dash, does the engine rev slightly then back down (like when you twist the throttle with the parking brake on)? If it were the gearbox, I doubt this "It doesn't affect the bike while I'm moving..." would be true.

    Anyone have any good Headlight upgrade suggestions?

    Consider adding auxiliary lights such as Denali.

    Ryker goes into neutral while riding - any ideas?

    I doubt it is going into "neutral" but you likely have a bad Forward or Reverse switch on the gearbox or a poor connection. There are switches for Forward, Reverse, and Park brake - if none are engaged the display shows a dash "-".

    Fuel Gauge & Miles to Empty Stuck - any ideas on fix?

    There is a fix for a stuck float. The tank is unique to Rykers. It is an odd shape and due to the location of the float it has huge dead spots at the top and bottom of the tank, but does read inside the dead spots.

    Where is the accessory wire - on the left side of 2017 F3?

    From the Service Manual.

    Fuel Gauge & Miles to Empty Stuck - any ideas on fix?

    There is a float that is a part of the fuel pump assembly. The pump has to be aligned precisely to prevent the float from sticking. Try rotating it slightly to see if it frees up.

    Ridenow Powersports Jacksonville will not service - any bike shops that will?

    Service manuals for Spyders are relatively inexpensive, and well worth the cost if making your own repairs. https://canammanuals.com/product-category/rykers-spyders/ Parts for a 2014 are available. I bought this 2014 RSS a few months ago that was missing more than 20 parts. I bought some...

    Turn signals work sometimes; hazards always - maybe a Cluster problem?? Ideas?

    You can do exactly that with BUDS.

    Turn signals work sometimes; hazards always - maybe a Cluster problem?? Ideas?

    It simplifies wiring. Look at the number of buttons/switches on the left handlebar. I have two paddle switches, Reverse switch, 6 display switches, and turn signals. All those plus a ground, that's how many "old school" wires the two-wire CAN connection eliminates. It also enables self...
