• 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.

    Stebel Nautilus horn install 2008 Spyder RS

    Love the Nautilus. I put one on my V-Strom a few years ago. Roughly a cross between a diesel locomotive and a semi truck. Just take my word for it... don't test fire it in the garage.

    How many miles is too many?

    Speaking of recovering your costs... some years ago I was buying a Suzuki SV650. A nice low-mileage example a couple of years old popped up just down the block. I looked it over, rode it, everything was great. Then it came to price.. the owner was asking MORE THAN LIST Price for the equivalent...

    RTL MPG Question

    MANY years ago I used to ride a Suzuki 2-stroke street bike. 250cc twin, expansion chambers... I rode it around the small town where I lived, to work, etc. and was averaging about 30 mpg. I finally got a chance to take it out on the highway for a longer ride (~75 miles at 65 mph) and mileage...

    Glove box lock vid

    What about the feed to the instrument panel - is that switched? Might have to add a relay.

    How many miles to be even??

    I dunno, I kind of see the logic. If for example you can have an F3 or a Ryker - but not both - you can consider the dollars per smile quotient. But everything has an opportunity cost. Only you can make the determination of "worth it". Or maybe your spouse.

    First LONG ride 1770 miles from Thursday-Sunday.

    Thanks for the heads-up. Anything in particular to look out for - bolt heads, welds, etc.??

    Top cases that don't interfear with the passanger

    All of this is approaching a Spyder... if you wish to tour two-up that may be a better option?

    Ryker and electrical add-ons

    Glad to hear that about the CAN bus. Planning to put on some Hyperlites but I had not realized this thing has a CAN bus.

    Rally Rear Fender - Owners Thoughts? Experience so far?

    There was a discussion regarding the Ford hub socket on Ryker Forums. As I recall, it wasn't a great fit.

    Ryker Oil?

    I'm not sure I buy into the whole "car oil vs. motorcycle oil" thing, at least where the transmission and clutch are not sharing lube. Car engines are smaller and revvier than they used to be, and turbos are another factor. If "car oil" meets the manufacturer's API or JASO standard... run it.

    900 cc Ryker rpm’s

    Those high cruising revs may help explain the fuel mileage.

    Ryker No netural selection ?

    It was actually a surprise to me how much throttle it takes to get the Ryker moving from a dead stop. Light turns green, crack the throttle, open it more, eventually the CVT decides it's time to take hold. I can't see a little unintended rev causing much problem. I actually wish it was a little...

    RYKER 600cc vs 900cc TOP speed and acceleration

    QM, That's interesting, others have said it's about 90 mph. 102 mph is fast enough, but how is it for freeway droning at 75 mph - 80 mph? There are a lot of freeways I have to travel...
