• 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.

    UK Ryker owners - Is a Ryker Rally Suitable for UK's Potholed Roads?

    My Rally will do 300 km per tank (15 km per litre) fairly consistently. I have a Zumo 395 which has a distance to empty fuel gauge on the screen which I reset at every fill up. The Ryker gauge will indicate a full tank for at least 150 km then drop to two bars... it's utterly useless. Zeroing...

    UK Ryker owners - Is a Ryker Rally Suitable for UK's Potholed Roads?

    In my opinion it doesn't need any engine refining, Rally mode gives you everything you need :-) It looks to me like BRP are making modest changes for the sake of it... fine as it is, just make some more colour clip-ons if you must... and leave the wheels alone! EDIT: fix the fuel gauge so that...

    Another Ryker Sway Bar thread - Gravel Handling! Any upgraded sway bar owners? Do they make any difference, for better or worse, on Gravel?

    Happy enough with it as is with the stock bar and Ron's end links, just wondering how much that might change with a stiffer bar - will make a huge difference on sealed roads I'm told but at what cost to the unsealed roads I like to burn down :cool:

    Another Ryker Sway Bar thread - Gravel Handling! Any upgraded sway bar owners? Do they make any difference, for better or worse, on Gravel?

    The comments so far are all on the money. I will say that I've had one front wheel off the ground on a number of rides, hitting diagonal ruts running across the road at speed will do that, but I don't have it happen very often on corners, as I'm usually going slower. The steering stabiliser I...

    Another Ryker Sway Bar thread - Gravel Handling! Any upgraded sway bar owners? Do they make any difference, for better or worse, on Gravel?

    I've read a lot of upgraded sway bar reviews and comments but can't find much from Ryker owners who ride loose and rough gravel roads regularly. I don't need any convincing that they will improve cornering on sealed roads, but I ride a lot of unsealed roads... In a perfect world, stiffening the...

    UK Ryker owners - Is a Ryker Rally Suitable for UK's Potholed Roads?

    I'm 6'2" and have no complaints about the Ryker's size comfort wise, I do get wind noise around my Arai XD4 helmet though... even with the bigger adventure windscreen fitted.

    UK Ryker owners - Is a Ryker Rally Suitable for UK's Potholed Roads?

    I ride lots of pot holed rutted gravel roads. I've set up the suspension as best I can and added a steering stabilizer which makes hitting the pot hole less impactful. You will get better and better at dodging the said obstacles the more you ride. There is quite a bit of distance between the...

    Has anyone gone from a Ryker to a Spyder then back to a Ryker?

    I have never ridden anything other than my Ryker Rally, I'm not really inclined to either... it works for me. I get the reasons you mention for wanting a Ryker, it's so easy to just jump on and go for a quick spin on a smaller lighter, easy to manage bike. I would say that if you get a Ryker...

    Short gal needs a mounting peg on a Ryker Rally - any advice on how/where to mount one?

    @gbyoung2, I think you are a legend for riding at 82!!

    Mid Winters day ride, love those heated grips. At the end of the video there's a quick ride through of an old mainly disserted Kiwi township of Mangaweka.

    Just Noticed a Different Noise from my Ryker Sport 900 When Shutting Down - Any ideas what it might be?

    starter relay perhaps?

    Ryker 900 ACE won't start, starter clicks, but no crank, despite new, fully charged battery - any advice for my next steps?

    Thanks for reporting back. Glad you got it sorted.

    Looks tidy :cool:

    Just for reference - both our Ryker's USB Ports were miswired and not functional!

    Yep, mine were as well, easy enough fixed but shouldn't have had to!

    Ryker dash/gauge wiring is short - is there any more length tucked under the bodywork??

    Sling mods video appears to show there's enough stock cable length to fit it. I recently removed my speedo to fit an apple carplay screen and there was plenty of freeboard to move it to do it.

    My Ryker Rally Adventure Thread

    Another video of the Rally enduring some unexpected gravel conditions. This particular road is very steep and has got very rutty in places from the top half. The view from the top makes it all worth while though :cool:
