• 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 demo ride gone WRONG

    Idiot on Ryker vs Skatepark Jalopnik gives you the play-by-play breakdown.... https://jalopnik.com/watch-a-dude-with-a-3-wheel-motorcycle-do-something-bre-1847983333 "The instant you go and design something idiot-proof, the world will design a better idiot." Later, EV

    Suggestions to winterize my Ryker

    This raises an interesting question.... Since the Rykers are shipped in crates and final assembly is done at the dealer, I would presume it's the dealer that tops off the coolant system, right? Would that mean you'd need to specify with your dealer when your ride is delivered that they use the...

    What sort of Fuel range on a tank; and does sport mode change mapping?

    As someone who used to calibrate these displays for new cars, that is 100% intentional. There will always be a bit of variation in the amount of reserve left in the tank due to temparature/vapor pressure/etc. At a certain point, we want the driver/rider to say to themselves, "oh crap......I...

    New stuff at Lamonster Garage for your Ryker

    Any updates on this rack system? Went looking on the LaMonster site, and can't find it. Was the project abandoned? Thanks, EV

    What sort of Fuel range on a tank; and does sport mode change mapping?

    Fuel Economy is dependent on a ton of factors, the two major of which you've already noted as speed and driving style (throttle usage). The two major factors which are out of the rider's control are Wind Resistance and Rolling Resistance; <Engineer hat on> Wind Resistance = aerodynamics, so a...

    I should have paid someone! Park Lock on Ryker...

    Parking brake. The lever (on the right side of the original picture), flips down to release. When in stock form, there's no lock on this lever, so someone could theoretically walk up, flip the lever, and roll your Ryker away. The accessory lock slides a metal pin into the lever when the key...

    Is there going to be a Shad saddle bag for LHS of Rykers?

    Chris, which model of BMW bike did you use the fitment for? G310? F800? GS1200? Thanks, EV

    Is there going to be a Shad saddle bag for LHS of Rykers?

    I would very much like to see them come up with a factory solution that is more balanced (right AND left sides, as well as top case). Something like the Slingmods set, but without the questionable wiring runs and the bottoming out issue against the rear fender when 2up. Later, EV

    Newbie with questions on ordering a 2022 model

    Yep, sure did. Didn't seem to matter, as their price quotes had over $1300 of dealer fees... Place I went with charged me only $600, and gave me 10% off accessories, so I basically got the same deal that rjarcy did. Thanks, EV

    Newbie with questions on ordering a 2022 model

    Well, it's officially official. We just ordered our 2022 Ryker Sport this evening! A big thanks to everyone who responded with info and advice. Called iMotorsports in Chicago, but their price wasn't that good. Called around and wound up going with a local dealer who was very fair and...

    Newbie with questions on ordering a 2022 model

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm getting quotes from anywhere between $1k and $1850 over MSRP. Think I need to negotiate a little harder..... :lecturef_smilie: Later, EV

    Did that also include your sales tax? If so, I think you got a really good deal.... Thanks, EV

    Newbie with questions on ordering a 2022 model

    Thanks for the feedback rjarcy! That 15% off accessories seems like a good deal (at least for these days). What model did you wind up getting?

    Newbie with questions on ordering a 2022 model

    Oh, I've been making calls. It's just that I'd like to know the background story/particulars if I'm going to have push the issue, that's all. As my brother the sales guy says, "You don't get what you deserve....you get what you negotiate." Forewarned is forearmed after all.... Later, EV

    Newbie with questions on ordering a 2022 model

    Well, the decision has been made. We are ordering a 2022 Ryker Sport! I'm starting to talk to local dealers to get pricing. So far, one quoted me $14.2k out the door, on a MSRP of $11.6k! :shocked: If you take away the 6% sales tax, that's a markup of $1800. Ewwwww. Anyone know if the...

    Insurance Options - Time to look for another agent?

    Hey sKiZo, just did a quote for my upcoming Ryker purchase... Progressive Insurance (I already have my home, cars, and 2 Buells with them, so....bundle), same $500 deductible you did, I'm in metro Detroit area, age over 50, no accidents.... Quote was $189 for a year. You definitely need a...

    Insurance Options - Time to look for another agent?

    Part of the problem is that sKiZo and myself are up here in Michigan. The insurance laws and rates up here suck. We're usually at least 50% more if not double of surrounding states for car insurance, so I'm not surprised that motorcycle rates would be similarly screwy. That being said, it...

    Newbie with questions on ordering a 2022 model

    Anyone have any confirmation on that? Easiest way to tell I guess would be the VIN. On cars, if the first digit is a "2", it was made in Canada. If the first digit is a "3", it's made in Mexico. Anyone able to quick check their Ryker VIN? Thanks, Eric
