• 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.

    which was your most spectacular tour ??

    here in Slovenia/Italy is the "Mangart" high Alpin road up to around 7.000 feet, no problem for our Ryker .. but you need a real brave passenger;) I think you will not find more curves on only ten miles (16km) like here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHZi05bFNRg&t=337s

    Need suggestions... what modifications, changes, adjustments to make on Ryker?

    Hey Windhound, forgot to say that I use different tires - on the back a "rain"-tire from Hankook (Ventus V12) and on the front wider 165/50 R16, they are also much better than the Kendas on wet roads (this size fits perfect!) .. its around 10feet "faster" from 60 miles to zero (also in the...

    Ryker VSS Fault Saga

    mine is a 2018 - never ever saw a VSS message in the display .. but my steering sensor made a problem, he was not properly fixed and was moving mechanically, so I got a problem that the VSS kicked in to early in left- and too late in right curves (without any VSS warnigs..) They repaired it last...

    alternative front tires for the Ryker

    here in Europe they offer a lot of different brands (its a size of VW Cars) - from Imperial you get also an official winter-tire .. Yokohama is offering a set for the front and the rear tires - maybe you find it by "comfoser" they have an US shop .. https://www.oponeo.at/reifen/165-50-r16

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    mine stood around 100 days ( two times now) without a tender or so .. but: after the restart you should make a longer trip to load her up, if not you would need "help" bei the next start !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reYdsKwzlBs&t=5s

    Recommendations for Ryker Rally front shocks?

    so here are your possibilitys.. first are the new shocks from the 2022 Rally - which should be longer now, or BRP just use a Riser like this here .. if you order shocks from Europe (France) - they offer only longer Shocks for the Ryker - they lifts her up one inch (2,5cm)...

    Recommendations for Ryker Rally front shocks?

    it doesn`t matter what brand you use - they should be longer than the original or you get a "riser" to lift them up ! (the new 2022 Rally is higher) I took 400mm instead of 360mm, so she is now 5,8 inch over the ground (unloaded) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO_yEVRAGD8&t=82s

    There Is A New 2022 Rally

    there is not so much difference between them (longer shocks on the front..) & maybe the engine is weaker (CO2..) - seems the price will be 2-3.000 Euros higher, and do you really love these white rims ??

    Add a Ryker Rally to the stable?..

    we sold our RT and changed to a Ryker 900 (no Rally) for our tours here in Austria/Italy. First is you need longer shocks on the front, she is too low. but they offer that now the 2022 Rally version ! Rest is perfect, much better handling, easier to ride and feels also "stronger and faster" than...

    There Is A New 2022 Rally

    Windshield for Ryker - what are you guys running?

    if we are on tour we ride sometimes 6-8 hours per day (20T miles now) - the Can-Am delux fairing is perfect for this : easy to clip on/off - hand-protectors drink & GPS & Phone holder - 3 different sizes for the shield available .... price is OK !

    alternative front tires for the Ryker

    made some first tests .. feels better in the curves - one if it did not need any weights when they balanced it - the front is now absolut smooth, the first time after 20T miles .. I will test them on wet roads now, we should get rain in the next days !
