• 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.

    I used 5 washers per end and others have used 6. It is all about the thickness of the washers.

    Rear tire replacement time

    Wow, the roads in Indiana must not be anywhere near as abrasive as the chip seal abominations we have here in Texas. At 7,000 miles I am down to 6/32nds and I do not expect to make 10,000 miles. I will be interested to hear how you like the Dunlop.

    Rear tire replacement time

    Could you provide a photo of your tread with 21K miles? I have only about 7K miles on my Rally and I am down to the rain "wear Bars" if I am reading it correctly. If I am interpreting something wrong I would like to know.

    Shake Rattle & Roll - Tires Un-Balanced, Alignment or Both?

    Just a question. Can you see the tires hopping up and down at that speed? I had a similar problem with just my right tire; I could see it hop at 50-55. I took it to an automotive tire shop and had them spin balance it. They removed the single weight on that tire and now it is as smooth as...

    Being seen

    There is a local motorcycle police officer that wears a fluorescent yellow jacket and white helmet while on patrol. He has a reputation for being tough on moving violations and registration compliance. When I ride I wear a fluorescent yellow jacket and white helmet. The way I see it if they...

    Little change in handling. The seat is several inches higher so you feel slightly more body roll just due to the seating position. The spring rate and damping rate on the shocks seem to be well balanced.

    Lets try this. I added the ruler for scale. It currently has 6.5 inches of clearance under the radiator. Stock was 4.5 inch.

    Unfortunately they did not have any documentation or instruction manual. The Amazon site does provide some specifications such as spring wire diameter, capacity, and options.

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    . I tried a different design without the air reservoir. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L4Q1RCM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It did include 3 sets of inserts for the eyes in different sizes including 10 mm. Because the front end is now higher relative to the seat I...

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    I changed out the KYB front shocks on my Rally model with a set of 400 mm replacements as recommended by chris56. So far I am happier with nearly 7" of clearance under the radiator and have not identified any downside. Time will tell regarding durability.

    Elka vs Fox Can Am Shocks

    How much ground clearance do you have under the radiator with the M2's. I know when you came to visit on the way back from getting them installed you had more clearance than my Rally but what is the actual measurement with the M2's?

    Afternoon Doc, I used your instructions for a gear box lube change today. Everything was straight forward once I found an 8" extension and 1/4" drive flex joint to remove the gear lube level screw; side panel and drive shaft limit degree of rotation. As you reported there was abundant black...

    Interesting, I feel most of the heat on my right ankle. I wonder how much heat on the left side comes from the forward/reverse transmission.
