• 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.

    Traffic Light Road Sensor and the Ryker

    Doesn't that make for a slow start after the light changes? :doorag:

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    I installed the comfort seat and managed to break off one mounting tab :mad:. BRP, please use a better plastic material or a metal tab system, because you know most people don't want to lift the body off to install a seat that *should* just snap into place. I never had to disassemble any...

    Ryker comfort seat installation.

    Yes, I know, old thread, but I just had a frustrating experience. All, listen to Spyderdale above even if you know of others who just "popped the comfort seat in". There is very little room between the metal frame and the bottom of the plastic seat pan, and this condition can break a tab. I...

    A pleasure to ride

    Well, Ryker owners have to purchase their baggage ;). Thanks for letting me trespass in the RT Touring forum.:bowdown:

    Anyone go from an RT to a Ryker?

    Isn't that the truth? I was delighted with my new truck 3 years ago, and now I'm thinking, "Man, I wish I had gotten 4WD". I don't need 4WD. I'd like to have a smallish motorcycle again, but then I'd have a Ryker *and* motorcycle that are gathering dust in the garage most of the time. :chill:

    Gasoline question - will Regular harm the Spyder?

    Haha - E-85 is probably a really bad idea given it's 85% ethanol. I vaguely remember 85 octane at Sunoco when I was a kid. It was the cheapest unleaded and was referred to as sub-regular I think. Of course, I used it in my car. In my Suzuki 1100, I used Sunoco 94 octane. The bike loved it.

    Is the Canadian Trucker convoy affecting Can Am deliveries?

    Good question. My Ryker was made in Mexico. What's actually made in Canada? My accessories have come from all over.

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    I finished installing the Shad saddlebag. It went about like I thought it would - OK overall but included moments of extreme frustration like everything I do. A few thoughts: 1. The designs of the case and mounting bracket are pretty solid. 2. I wish BRP wasn't so in love with star/Torx...

    Too cold for me and my Spyder

    That's frightening. I question my cognitive abilities in general on any normal given day. The older I get, the more I've started to realize I hate riding in cold weather or at night. I REALLY hate riding in cold weather at night. Even though I'm in south Louisiana, it gets bone-chilling, and...

    19F is brutal. I couldn't take 20 minutes of that. Walking in it is one thing, but dang....

    Too cold for me and my Spyder

    That's a frightening temperature. I can't take less than 40 either. Actually, less than 50 is a pain too, because I don't have proper cold weather gear. I'm not buying any, because I hate riding in cold weather :P

    Oops - left my 'key' in the Ryker...

    That could fool some people. Experienced thieves will know what's up though :shocked:

    Oops - left my 'key' in the Ryker...

    Correct. If you pull it off while idling, the engine keeps running too according to the manual. I haven't left it idling while I went in a restaurant. Yet. :bbq:

    Oops - left my 'key' in the Ryker...

    I went to my favorite Chinese restaurant tonight. Upon leaving I realized I left the key "in" the Ryker the whole time. :opps: Perhaps the bizarre start up sequence kept it from being stolen.

    Helmet on, Earplugs in at the Gas Station

    I might try that, but she'd likely be scared away when I pulled the helmet off.
