• 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.

    Starting in the 4th Season... only 8 volts!

    Watching that video I would love to ride those mountains. I have only been to bavaria (Germany) and down into Austria (salzburg)once. Great food, nice people, cold water, big mountains. What my friend had to do to get his license in Germany was insane, can't imagine it would be much different...

    Starting in the 4th Season... only 8 volts!

    Keeping it short. I'm not ball busting just giving you a heads up that not all companies have a working agreement to use other people's satellites. Let's say company x has only 2-3 satellites, that is going to be crappy coverage to start with. Second, if you haven't been to Chris 56's neck of...

    Damaged clip on front end - any easy way to fix?

    be careful if you ever use zip ties to plastic weld. Not all zip ties are made from the proper plastic. I'm using plastic as a generic term. Plastic welding works, and it can be done where needed. You can even inbed some metal mesh if desired. I'd go with something that wouldn't rust.

    How big is too big for a Ryker?

    My .02, because I have a keyboard and am avoiding the work I need to do today. I'm 5'11 and go about 240 ish, Ryker feels fine to me. I sit at the back edge of the seat and the pegs aren't fully extended out (1 notch left). With a couple of extra inches you may need a different seat that...

    Northern riders, 1st ride each year - are rough roads usual?

    LOL, long johns, pants, 2 jackets, full face helmet, gloves. 50F and the posted speed limit make for a cold ride.

    Northern riders, 1st ride each year - are rough roads usual?

    I feel that, just 2 small rides for me, had to scratch that itch. It was 71 or 72, crazy amount of bikes out. Guess everyone was feeling it.

    Northern riders, 1st ride each year - are rough roads usual?

    Is it normal, that the first real warm day and everyone has cabin fever, that you take your bike for a ride and notice how uneven the roads are? I haven't ridden in awhile, and I bought my bike last year. I was out twice this week and man the roads were bumpy. I guess the ground has to thaw a...

    Ryker comfort seat installation.

    I'm not saying that you did anything wrong, or that can am made the seat correctly. What I am here to tell you is that if you break a plastic tab, and they won't replace, all isn't lost. Plastic welding is a thing, and it is pretty cheap to buy the equipment for it. A cheap HF iron, a used...

    What was your out the door price

    BMW site list them at 13.5k, with 1.5 k of goodies that puts you at 15k, now if 17k includes taxes, fees, delivery and whatever it still seems slightly high, but not that high for something in demand with limited supply so far. You don't have to order from your local dealer, you can order from...

    I have a few Ryker Questions before I purchase.

    sounds like a cheap fun easy to ride bike and should work perfectly for her. There is no storage on the ryker other than the frunk, so figure out how to store some stuff. Beach runs normally require some items to take to the beach or bring back, not to mention lunch. I don't see a beach chair...

    Need help installing Ryker backrest

    What was their rationale for only giving back 90%? I am reluctant to buy from them, as I never had a good feeling about a part reseller marking up items just for hyping the products. They don't make anything from what I understand. Tricled can be ordered from directly the last time I checked.

    Is there a Cruise Control available for older model Rykers?

    My internet searches have not found one available the last time I checked (November). You can research a cheap alternative if you are driving long distances, it is called a throttle lock. There are various types of throttle locks/throttle assistants, so do your own due diligence. They are...

    Ryker 900 exhausts - which one do you think is the quietest?

    Peter Aawaen answered this prior to your post. If you change the exhaust, change the air intake, and get an ECU upgrade, it will do a good bit for your bike. I'm no motorhead, but from what I have learned there is only one way to know for sure and that is a dyno. There are several...

    First oil change

    Awesome. I didn't pull mine yet, July will make a year. It's winter here so I only ride about once a month, and last time I nearly froze to death for my maintenance run. Two jackets, full helmet, gloves, boots etc, wind sliced through everything. 60mph winds at 20 degrees. I was so glad to...

    Speakers - What setup do you have

    I thought cardo sold a separate speaker and mount so you could move the unit from helmet to helmet. If your talking about wanting to listen to music without a helmet, I couldn't help you. I hear some of the speakers on motorcycles about 1/4 mile away while working in my field. They have to...

    First oil change

    For all the people amazed at what they find on the magnetic plug on their bike, consider this: It is working as designed. All my tractors (korean) have a huge magnetic plug for the hydraulic fluid going through, that thing is coated with metal on the initial fluid change. The initial fluid...

    Dealer Gouging on 2022 Ryker models

    There is a huge difference between increasing profits and price gouging. Price gouging is illegal in some states on certain products. If your dealer is gouging now, imagine what they are going to do to make up for the loss in revenue when the supply increases. A shyster is a shyster. For the...

    Ryker Rally for long Backcountry Discovery Routes (BDR) trips?

    I live in the boondocks and you should see the number of those side by sides flying down the roads in my state. I can tell when it is about 2:00 am, about 11-14 of them will be flying down the road bumper to bumper at around 70-75 when the bar closes in the summer. It is so commonplace a VFW...

    Ryker on Cowboy Bebop

    sorry, but bebop predates the spyder by about a decade and even more than that for the ryker.

    Ryker 900 exhausts - which one do you think is the quietest?

    After listening to too many videos, I eventually purchased the RLS controlled Kaos one. It has a baffle insert and the puller included, plus a bunch of stickers if that is your thing. Here is my take after riding with it for awhile: In my modular helmet it is loud, I had to crank up the volume...
