• 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 Issue Alert!

    I couldn't agree more. This isn't my first rodeo in the motorsports world. I have an above-average mechanical ability due to my years and experience playing with my toys. SO, why wouldn't the dealer(s) admit to the obvious truth that NOBODY would accept that tail-wagging nonsense from a car or...

    Ryker Issue Alert!

    Customer satisfaction survey OK, Can-Am/BRP just sent me an email earlier today regarding customer service and satisfaction with the dealer. You asked for it, you got it, Toyota... The gloves are off, and the gauntlet has been thrown down... The final page of the survey asked for a detailed...

    Tools needed for Ryker wheel change

    I wouldn't necessarily mind that... IF I could trust my dealer to do my maintenance properly. ;) The next issue is what about flats and roadside repairs? Nope, it's up onto the flatbed for you buddy... hope your AAA membership is current! Actually, the BRP agent that I spoke to several...

    Yep, and those faces look chevron'd or curved to me... dunno, could just be the camera shot, not sure. -- QM

    Ryker front tires size is Proprietary! Thanks again BRP........

    Sniff, sniff... I smell burning rubber and see black patches in the distance. Looks like it's tire testing time! Testing methodologies and empirical evidence to tell the tale. How to set up the test is the next hurdle. Since the Ryker has only one "official" tire, we would need another...

    Hand brake.

    I'd like to see the OPTION for an aftermarket hand brake as well. I ride lots of scooters (as well as motorcycles) and I'm accustomed to having the brake levers at finger's reach. It's an accepted motor memory because of the motorcycle standards all over the world. The front brake lever (or...

    Ryker Issue Alert!

    Here is another minor, but annoying issue related with the Ryker shipping and/or dealer uncrating logistics. My unit came with significant scratches on both upper A-arms. They stated that it was crate and shipping damage. That is apparently NOT the whole truth. A friendly YouTube viewer just...

    Ryker Issue Alert!

    I think that I may have shocked the natives around here. If so, I extend my apologies. I couldn't resist the humor... it's my way of rationalizing my misfortune and "fixing" this problem. More developments on the Ryker alignment issues... I have received several more reports from Ryker owners...

    Tools needed for Ryker wheel change

    Sheesh... What freight carrier are they using? $160 plus shipping? Maybe it's a cheap socket via the Pony Express, and we're expected to pay for feed, tack, and boarding? ;) -- QM

    Maybe I need to take a ride east of H-town and visit your dealer. -- QM

    Adjustable wind screen

    My dealer doesn't have ANY of the accessories yet for me to look at in person. How do you like your windscreens so far? Good points, bad points? I'm interested to know how the "spill-over" is around the sides and bottom of the screen. Does it seem to deflect most everything around the...

    Tools needed for Ryker wheel change

    :agree: I didn't think that far out of the box, apparently. My situation had some attached o-rings and bronze thrust washers near the focal point that may not have taken the localized heat. But for a wheel nut/axle combo like this the heat trick would be perfect. Well analyzed, sir! -- QM

    Tools needed for Ryker wheel change

    Yessir, that works. Depending on the thickness of your buffer plastic, extracting the socket from the nut/axle can be challenging, though. I've needed to resort to a padded bench vice and a gear puller once or twice before to save me from my own ingenuity. The same process works in reverse...

    Ryker Alignment

    Brilliant, thx for that. That's exactly what I'm experiencing, and then some. I'm hoping that I'm on the right path with the dealer to get this resolved. As for the laser alignment, I posted about that in another thread with Shawn Smoak's video about the procedure. I had no idea it was so...

    Ryker Alignment

    I hope you don't mind if I prod you with a few questions? :helpsmilie: Was your alignment anything like what I have illustrated in a few of my videos? Did you have general issues with it not tracking straight (constant pull to one side), drift while braking, or did it have "tail wag"? My...

    Picked up my Ryker Rally today!

    :clap: I will certainly be interested in your mounting solution if it will be available separately! I already have the SH39's and SH36 panniers on two other bikes as part of the SHAD 3P system, so I wanted to swap the cases between bikes. Anxiously awaiting your next update on the topic...

    What is this connector? Can I use it for a switched accessory power source?

    At the risk of giving information overload, I'll add this. I have personally had this problem on two CAN-bus vehicles in the past when using "sophisticated" electronic add-ons... RADAR detectors. The first time was in a BMW M5 where a K-40 was causing error codes and CEL's (check engine...

    What is this connector? Can I use it for a switched accessory power source?

    Yessir, that's correct. Even a low-amperage fuse doesn't protect against EMI/EMF surges from relay coils, because the surge isn't AMPERAGE, it's VOLTAGE that bites you. Fuses don't blow their "trace wire" until enough amperage flows through them, causing the metal to heat up and melt away...

    Ryker Issue Alert!

    I have received numerous comments on my YouTube vids from other Ryker owners regarding alignment issues. In those cases, the problem was apparently diagnosed by the dealers as definitely being out of alignment and then resolved. So, it's apparently becoming a "known issue" to the community at...
