• 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.

    Anyone know How/where to buy extra OE style foot pegs?

    You could go this direction as well. Lamonster makes highway footrests. Although it appears you need his floorboards for them. https://www.lamonstergarage.com/can-am-ryker-black-dymond-gripper-highway-brackets-pegs/

    How big is too big for a Ryker?

    Yes, that's the one.

    Thinking of Switching to a Ryker

    The gas tank on the Ryker is narrower than the one on the Spyder. I believe that was the original posters problem. The other issue was the seat comfort of the Ryker. My opinion is get the comfort seat and then, if the the back of THAT seat still gives you issues, you could add an airhawk seat...

    How many miles/seasons should stock Tires last? Replacement options?

    I doubt they're that much different. The front tires of a ryker do the same work as a spider. The back tire, however, is driven by a cvt instead of a geared tranny. I suspect that may see more wear. I took their feedback as good info as both bike types are similar.

    Curious about how Passenger Sensor operates on Ryker?

    Glad you got your answer, but it was answered in the 3rd post by canamryder.

    Curious about how Passenger Sensor operates on Ryker?

    When there is no passenger lever installed, the computer can go into sport and rally modes. When the lever is installed and it's in the upright condition, the computer can go into sport and rally mode. When the lever is down, the switch over rides ( blocks) the computer from going into sport...

    Any difference between various versions of Jockey Shifter?

    Some of us just like the coolness of reaching out to an easy to reach shift knob.

    Will Baker Built Air Wings reduce wind noise and buffeting?

    I'm going to be adding some wind deflectors that mount on the handgrips because I'm getting the buffeting on my arms.

    Any difference between various versions of Jockey Shifter?

    Well, technically you can only use it while it's parked so you've pretty much seen all it can do. lol But yeah, you'll love the gadgety factor and the ease of switching between gears in real world situations.

    Need help installing Ryker backrest

    Most places charge a restocking fee to cover their accounting expenses and possibly fixing the packaging that may need replaced. I also returned it a few months past the return window.

    Need help installing Ryker backrest

    It wasn't bad. I think they realized that it was not advertised correctly. I was worried that they may not give me a refund due to me taking so long to ask for one. But it was bought for me as a Christmas present and I didn't try installing it until the warm weather. That's when I found that it...

    Need help installing Ryker backrest

    Nope...I returned it to slingmods. It would not stand up by itself due to the passenger comfort seat always pushing on it. Slingmods added a disclaimer after my issues to say it does not fit with the comfort passenger seat.

    Just upgraded my Ryker

    Just curious. Are you able to tell if there are major changes that were done to get the adjustable front shocks in there? I'm asking because it would be cool if us with the older models could upgrade to those adjustable shocks with just a change in the removable hood.

    Are the Ryker tie rods weak?

    I know. I cringed at that also.

    Speakers - What setup do you have

    I use the over the ear speakers that fit inside the helmet. They are not the best quality and hope to upgrade my system at some point.

    Are the Ryker tie rods weak?

    No, I don't doubt what you are saying. But, my question is, since we know they went on the minimum side for strength on the sway bar and end links ( can we agree on that?), then could these tie rods also be on the minimal side? If they are aluminum then I say yes because my experience with...

    Are the Ryker tie rods weak?

    Just saw this video and got me wondering. From what I saw the tie rods on the Ryker are hollow tubes, which make me think they might be flexing under load. https://youtu.be/EIsmhDLAv3Q https://www.trex-fab.com/products/heavy-ryker-tie-rods

    CVT Transmission behaviour Questions - is this normal??

    Which leads to the problem. You won't be able to sit at a stoplight and rev your engine like other bikes do. :gaah:

    Reverse Shifter mod.

    Several people on here have gotten it. There is also another maker of that style as well. Some people, including myself, have made their own. From what I have read from others on here, they love it. I know I love mine.

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

    I like to call it a "burble", and I agree with you. The deep throaty burble does sound better thssn the stock exhaust in my opinion.
