• 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.

    Review: Review of RPS Manufacturing/M2.Shocks on my 2021 Ryker 900

    I dont think no real tips, but I can tell you what I did. I made adjustments based on how much load I'm carrying, and the type of road surface (conditions) I'm mostly going to be riding on. I had to experiment around for a bit. For instance, I dont carry a passenger. I weigh 220 lbs, plus the...

    Review: Review of RPS Manufacturing/M2.Shocks on my 2021 Ryker 900

    Once properly adjusted for my weight and riding style, I've really had no problems with my stock KYB Rally shocks. No need to fix something that's not broke.

    Tour of the US - any suggestions? Plus roads, places, restaurants etc?

    I have to agree, I vacation ride from Florida to Tennessee & North Carolina every year just to spend a week riding those beautiful twisty Smoky Mountain roads. IMO, some of the best riding in the country. The Cherohala Skyway between Eastern Tennessee & Western North Carolina is just an epic...

    2020 Ryker Rally - Luggage Question(s)

    I used 3/16 cold roll steel plate. I cannot bend it by human strength, I tried after welding it together. Even though I had it all clamped up into place at its 90 degree angle, the heat from welding caused one of the side pieces to slightly go inwards. had to use two vises to get it back into...

    What do I need to do in Caring for matte/satin Paint?!

    I try not to hose it down unless its really dirty because the fasteners and metal parts of theses machines rust as quick as you can look at it (especially the stamped metal parts). If I do use the hose, I use a gas powered leaf blower to dry and displace all the water that collects in all the...

    2020 Ryker Rally - Luggage Question(s)

    I used Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2X Ultra Cover, Metallic Aluminum #249128. Got it from Amazon and its a really good match. Also, the lid looks darker than it really is.

    Brake light flasher turn signal override

    I installed an additional LED brake strobe on the Ryker last year and it functions as it should, has no effect when either of the signals are being used. It has 24 different flash patterns to choose from and all 24 patterns function as they should when using the signal or not.

    Homemade Linq accessories

    Thats actually not a bad idea. I have both the 4.5 gal Sport bag and the largest 5.5 gal SR21 Tunnel bag. Love the versatility of the Linq system, but neither of their largest top cases will fit a helmet, not tall enough. Let us know if you're able to get the accessory locks needed to fit in the...

    Ryker won't start !!!!!

    Did you check the battery (voltage, loose terminal cable)? Do you use a battery maintainer, short trips isnt enough to keep the battery fully charged and a weak battery will cause your symptoms.

    2020 Ryker Rally - Luggage Question(s)

    Yeah I've seen it. Its large enough to strap a large duffle bag on if necessary. You could do some pretty lengthy long distance journeys and carry enough for the entire trip.

    Adding a 3rd brake light and signal light to a Top Case

    I added a rear LED brake light flasher last year, but dont remember the colors of the brake wires. Once I disassembled the rear brake light & turn signal panel at the back, I just used a bungee cord to hold the brake pedal down and with a 12 volt tester found out which ones was for the brake...

    2020 Ryker Rally - Luggage Question(s)

    I like your setup, the black leather bags look good and match the bike well. Nice touch with the checkered decal on the rear fender too. These are the dimensions of the bracket, in case you or someone else wants to make one. Also, any local welding shop or fabricating shop should be able to...

    Canada to Mexico ride

    Man has yet to build the perfect machine that wont fail, it doesn't exist. If you go by that one failure, then you will never have a machine that will be 100% trustable to make a long distance journey. I too have owned over 40 bikes throughout my riding career. Everything from BMW, two Honda...

    2020 Ryker Rally - Luggage Question(s)

    Too me, the Slingmods setup is large (top case out of scale to the bike) and it is too far back (rearward), protrudes beyond the rear of the bike. And there are really no other options out there for side cases other than the Shad single side case on the right side. I have the exact setup that...

    Massive Fire At BRP/Can Am Facility In Juarez Mexico

    Got my new Ryker - didn't even make it a mile

    If you got the Driver Comfort seat it will fit, if you got the Solo Driver Comfort Seat, it wont fit with the Max Mount. The mileage should get better the more you ride it. Mine got pretty low mileage in the first 800 miles, then it started getting better.
