• 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.

    ..EMERGENCY .. for 2022 RYKER owners - recall on Handle-bar bolts!

    You have to realize that many Ryker riders are not very mechanically inclined. Doing this task may frighten them to high Haven. Some have never changed their oil (correctly), or even had greasy knuckles. They may want to invite a friend or neighbor along that knows how to read his torque wrench.

    ..EMERGENCY .. for 2022 RYKER owners - recall on Handle-bar bolts!

    Someone please help us out? Someone mentioned in their "reply" that the original 2022 bolts were made out of Aluminum....whaaat! I can't find that reply now...was I dreaming? Anyway maybe BRP changed the material (supply shortage?) and didn't change the torque specs. Does anyone have a detailed...

    Leaking oil filler neck (dipstick)

    Now that I've been hearing of all these problems with the Rykers, I wonder if I would have bought mine back in July, '19. BUT the only problem that I've ever had was a slightly crooked handlebar that I corrected myself. Oh, and the wheel nut recall. Even the transmission warning didn't come on...

    ..EMERGENCY .. for 2022 RYKER owners - recall on Handle-bar bolts!

    Any bolts at supply vendors will have to be recalled also. So maybe ACE is the place!

    ..EMERGENCY .. for 2022 RYKER owners - recall on Handle-bar bolts!

    I'm not going to blame BRP 100% on this one, here's why and only theories. An outside vendor most likely supplies these bolts to BRP. Then vendor runs out of correct matl. bar stock and substitutes different stock....naughty. Maybe correct matl. but heat treated through (brittle) instead of case...

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    Today I went for about a 60 mile ride. Then decided to change the engine oil (4030 miles old) Odometer at 12,585 miles, CVT warning came on at 12,528 miles. So I changed the belt also. What a way to spend the 4th! But I got 'er done.

    First Oil Change 2020 900 Ryker

    I hope you know the full oil check hole is at the right side of gear box.(towards back) The 2019 manual stated to use the filler hole, which was wrong. Caught some Ryker Riders off guard. I don't know if the 2020 manual corrected that. Did you do the warm up drive before engine oil change and...

    Oil emitting from left side air intake

    Check around your oil filter canister. Maybe the seal ring on the lid got pinched. Also someone, on this forum can't remember who, had to have the canister lid replaced.

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    I had some 5mm thick "radiant barrier" insulation left over from doing the shed. So a cut out out a piece and put it up under the saddle. Not directly under the cushion, but wedged up in the framing underneath. Now if it ever warms up around here in N Illinois, I'll test it out.

    ST2 Brake Light Modulator & TrikLED Fender LEDs - need connection under hood?

    sKIZo, Seems like a poor idea to me. You want flashing brake lights to warn drivers behind you of deceleration, great idea! BUT you also want drivers to be drawn in closer to you by mounting brake lights on the rear of the front fenders. Think "POOR DEPTH PERCEPTION"

    ST2 Brake Light Modulator & TrikLED Fender LEDs - need connection under hood?

    A while back I added a 4" (maybe it's 6") red led *brake light up under the upper fender. I can't remember which color wires I connected to AT the rear tail lights, but I did no cutting or splicing on any Ryker wires. I cut the *brake wire insulation back and spread the strands out flat. Then I...

    Do you have ANY accessories hooked up directly to the battery, except for battery tender? DON'T. Use the accessory connection under the left top side panel.

    Your opinion about the Ryker OEM mirrors

    I feel that the OEM mirrors are too far to the side. Ya gotta turn your head to the side to use them and take your eyes off what's ahead. I bought some mirrors that clamp on the handlebars just inside of the controls. I kept adjusting them, then finally added 1.5" extensions. Now I just have to...

    Which Rykers come with an open Rear fender? Optional?

    Not too bad. Make sure you have all the tools handy first, torque wrench, rivet gun (cheap one worked), even blue locktite for reinstalling/or replacing the brake caliper bolts, etc. I also added some spline grease to the axle spline. Take your time, think things through. Put wheel clip back on...

    Which Rykers come with an open Rear fender? Optional?

    I went the other way with my Rally, I put on the full fender. I do like the looks of the Rally style fender, but didn't like the road crud up under the max mount and on top of the swing arm..always dirty..always cleaning. Check out for what you need at cheapcycleparts.com. Rykers are listed...

    Anyone done a Gear box output shaft seal replacement?

    I hope you DO realize that the gear box oil level check is on the side facing the rear of the Ryker, marked "oil level" Do not check at the filler hole. The manual for the 2019 Rykers is wrong. Don't know about other year Rykers.
