• 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.

    Loud whining sound at idle after a fairly short run

    I have a Ryker 600 Ace with about 600 miles on it. It runs great! However after the last couple of runs of only 10/15 miles I hear a high pitched whine when the engine is idling (don't think it was there before). I think the sound remains but the sound of the engine is louder so don't hear it...

    Rykers Require 87 Octane - Not 92!

    I have read through this thread and although I might have missed it I did not see a reference to Ethanol free 89 octane gas which is available locally. Currently I am using premium unleaded in my Ryker 600 ACE but should I use the Ethanol free 89 mentioned? My monthly mileage is not high so cost...

    Social Securty questions

    VANGUARD is the way to go - lowest costs and best funds - cost matters - 1% is actually 16.6% of what you expect to make with a conservative diversified portfolio - you are giving it away every month to a financial advisor and less than 20% beat the averages every year and very few do it every...

    Ryker backrest

    Well if you can turn your neck sideways you will see what I did - if you can't you should not be ryding :-)

    Ryker backrest

    My solution - a neighbour skilled in needlework stitched a pad for me and it is attached with several strips of Velcro - feels very comfortable and I don't see why it will not work well. I am going to attach pictures but they will probably be upside down based on previous experience :-)

    Ryding prescription sun glasses

    SpyderAnn - I do wear a helmet but it does not cover my eyes. I take your point re a helmet that covers the whole head - thanks.

    Ryding prescription sun glasses

    Having been ryding my Ryker for a couple of weeks now at break in speeds it is obvious to me that I will need to get a good pair of ryding prescription sunglasses when I speed up a bit. I would appreciate any input from those that might have ordered such on line and had a good experience. If...

    Fun? Well, yes but....

    Just swapped a scooter for a Ryker - far prefer the Ryker - 3 wheel stability and power at my age (77) far outweighs any other issues!

    The currant and LAST Spyderfest

    Just bought my Ryker so I am a "neewby" for sure! Seems to me that a National Spyderfest is not going to last due to distances involved - maybe 4 or 6 regional Spyderfest's are the solution in the future.
