• 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.

    Tire Pressure Science

    Is there any science behind the suggestion to use 18-20 lbs of pressure in the front tires when using an auto tire? You know like some some calculation based on the vehicle weight and tire load specs? Or is it all based on individual rider experience and how the bike handles and feels on the road?

    Ryker Front Tires - Car Tire?

    One of the problems with finding a front tire for the Ryker is the rim width of only 4.5 inches. (PPA rims on Slingmods are a 5" rim). I have found only one tire that is a possible solution, the Achilles ATR-Economist 165/50R16. Specs are All Season, V Rated (149mph), Load Range XL, Load Index...

    K&N Filter Does Not Fit Ryker CVT Side

    I know the filters on the Ryker are the same size, and I have a K&N on the intake, but when I tried to fit the K&N on the CVT side, it is such a tight fit that it puckers on one end, and does not provide a complete seal. Anyone else same issue?

    NC & TN Trip

    Had a great trip to NC & TN. Ryker is a blast on the Tail of the Dragon! Cherohala Skyway, Foothills Parkway are other great rides.

    Tie Rod Shaking Why?

    While on a trip to TN & NC I noticed the right tie rod was shaking while on a sweeping left hand turn with speeds over 50 mph. Movement maybe 1/4" or less in both directions. Looked at the right tie rod and it is not shaking. Does it sound like an alignment issue or possibly low tire pressure...

    Shake Rattle & Roll - Tires Un-Balanced, Alignment or Both?

    I own a 2019 Ryker Rally with BaJa Ron Sway Bar and Links and I don't have any problems riding straight down the highway, no swaying from side to side like some describe. But, I do have a little bit of a shake in the handlebars at 50-60 mph. I tried 2 oz of CounterAct beads, and frankly it...

    What is your Ryker initial idle RPM?

    When I first purchased the Ryker, the initial idle rpm was 1100-1200 and would gradually slow down to 800-900 after just a couple minutes. Now the initial start up RPM is 1400, and gradually slows to 800-900. Anyone else have the same experience?

    Ryker Rally Tire Pressure Question

    I have a 2019 Ryker Rally, but it came with the 900 ACE wheels and tires. I assume the tire pressure for the front tires should be the 900 ACE specs of 25 psi, and not the Rally specs of 20 psi. The tires for the Rally and 900 ACE are the same size, but have a different tread design, and...

    Ryker Handlebar Bolt Broken - how?

    I have read about three Ryker owners where the bolt to tighten the handlebar has broke. I asked one of them if it broke while he was tightening the bolt and he said no. One of the owners was actually riding while it broke, but he was able to safely come to a stop. I really don't see how there...

    Treal Performance Anyone?

    Has anyone actually purchased and received the Treal Performance Exhaust System for the Ryker? I noticed on one vendor site it says "Pre-Order and Awaiting Parts - NO ETA". Is this a wait and see how many will order before we put into production? Or a Covid-19 thing?

    New Ryker Owner

    New Ryker Rally owner here in South Carolina. Test drove a Ryker from Velocity Powersports about two months ago, but talked myself into buying a used 2019 F3-S Special, after reading different posts on this forum. The F3 is a nice ride, but just not the same as the Ryker I had ridden. Found a...
