• 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.

    Make your own accessories!

    Nice job on the headphone jack, the RAM mount sounds interesting, to bad you deleted it, did you get a picture of it? I like the satisfaction of creating and making my own stuff.

    To Sway Bar or Not to Sway Bar?

    I added the BajaRon sway bar to my Spyder RT and did not notice much improvement over everyday driving. When I replaced the front shocks with Elka's it blew me away on the improvement in handling and was much needed when riding two up. I have not decided to upgrade my Ryker yet with Elka shock...

    Make your own accessories!

    After the wife struggled a little to reach and activate the reverse lever I decided to design a handle for the gear lever. I made a couple of different ones and settled for one with a rough texture and glow in the dark filament. lol I also moved the gear lever several inches closer so now she...

    (blink) limp mode

    If the Ryker is anything like my Spyder they do not like running near empty on fuel. If the fuel tank is very low on fuel the fuel pump looses pressure from going over bumps or on a hill, that will cause an engine misfire and a error code is thrown and limp mode is turned on. As soon as you...

    Does the Ryker need an alignment

    I owned one of the first Spyder RT's and the alignment was terrible and nobody knew how to deal with them, not even the dealers. I ended up aligning it myself best I could and it came out good. My Ryker was pretty darn good when I picked it up but noticed a slight amount of wandering at highway...

    WHY Does The Ryker Get such POOR MPG???

    I agree, the clutch system is nearly bulletproof. They take much more abuse in an off-road machine than it will ever see in the Ryker.

    Make your own accessories!

    If you own a 3D printer one of the things you can make is your own throttle hold or cruise control. These two files are available on Thingiverse free to download and print, they work very well. I am always thinking up stuff to 3D print, either to save money or to just make things you cannot...

    How Much Oil Have You Had To Add Prior To 6,000 Miles?

    What!!! That statement would be true if it was a TWO stroke engine.

    Instrument cluster changed - is it now illegal?

    But the auto manufactures are able to program the mileage on there clusters, had it done a couple times, it was mandatory before they would even sell a new one. Lets hope they have some kind of security in place. Maybe they are designed where they can only add mileage and never reverse it.

    Oil error in ryker' operating guide ???

    I never even looked at the paper manual. I downloaded the PDF version of the manual from Can Ams web site, they are usually up to date with any errors corrected.

    WHY Does The Ryker Get such POOR MPG???

    Hardly a notion, the Rotax engine has been around since the 1920's. Used in autos, aircraft, quads, snowmobiles, motorcycles, you name it. One tough little engine that like to rev and work hard.

    WHY Does The Ryker Get such POOR MPG???

    The one main factor for not very good mileage with the Ryker and the Spyders is the Rotax engine. It develops it max horse power at high rpm and that is where it runs best and gets it best mileage. Lugging this engine at low rpm and the mileage will suffer even more. The Rotax and the auto...

    Instrument cluster changed - is it now illegal?

    Laws vary by state on this. In Nevada if a instrument cluster is replaced under warranty the factory must program it with the same mileage as the old. If its out of warranty the replacement can read 0 or whatever if it was used and you are suppose to disclose the actual mileage at time of...

    Hand going numb

    I'm probably being over cautious about it. I do like the simplicity of the ring. I ride snowmobiles, jet skis and dirt bikes and I hate to think what would happen when I get thrown off or fall if the throttle did not return to idle. And it does and will happen. I realize the above are off...

    Hand going numb

    I am a bit nervous using something that don't allow the throttle to return by itself and is always on.

    Anybody installed Ryker Passenger seat and foot pegs?

    I ended up removing the foot pegs, taking them apart and adding a washer to each arm. They seem much stiffer now, even added a rubber bumper where it hits. Can Am's quality control could use improving a little.

    Anybody installed Ryker Passenger seat and foot pegs?

    Has anybody installed passenger seat and foot pegs yet. The passenger foot pegs when closed stay loose and rattle around. I installed these myself and the dealer has not installed any yet so don't know anything. Not sure if I got a bad set, hope this is not normal. :pray:
