• 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.

    Is anyone using one of these Lifts to work on their Ryker?

    This may be an asinine question, but gonna ask it anyway: Is anyone using one of these bike/ATV lifts to put their Ryker in the air? In my case, it’s a 2022 Sport Ace 900 model that has a full-length SE Performance skidpan under it. The capacity of the lift is 1500 lbs.

    Curious if the LH footpeg/frame combination of a Ryker Sport is strong enough to support the weight of a person....

    ..... when getting on the machine? I ask because when I have a large bundle on the rear passenger portion of my Ryker’s Ultimate seat, I have a real problem getting my right leg over the mass when getting on or off the machine. For my tall KLR, I put my LH foot on the LH peg, raise up, then...

    General Safety Recall - is the onus on servicing dealer to notify &/or perform the necessary work?

    If the NHTSA has put out a safety recall notice regarding a particular vehicle brand/model, and that vehicle is taken into selling dealer of that brand of vehicle for unrelated service work, is the onus on that dealer to notify the vehicle’s owner regarding the notice, and/or perform the...

    Does Your Horn Sound Off Without Turing On The Ignition?

    I ask that because mine does. I always assumed that it wouldn’t and never tested it previously to see. I installed (Harbor Freight) air horns on my 2022 Scout and just used the existing horn leads to trigger a separate relay, that in turn powered the compressor for the horns. After installation...

    Relativitry

    This morning, I made a run over to the Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, VA to check the route we'll be taking tomorrow for the interment of a relative there that passed away recently. While there, figured I'd check on the tombstone I had placed several years ago on the unmarked grave of another...

    Almost Done With The Ryker's Add-ons

    Between yesterday and today, I added several items to my 2022 Ryker Sport, to include: Aluminum “chin” radiator protector, aluminum lower A-frame splash guards, and a slightly taller and wider adjustable windshield. The only thing remaining for this go-around is an aluminum engine/CVT protective...

    Any Skid Pan Recommendations for a 2022 Ryker Sport?

    Can anyone recommend a decent skid pan for the 2022 Ryker Sport that provides adequate protection for the occasional (easy) ride down a gravel, or even a halfway decent forest service road? There seems to be a few of them out there, some aluminum (preferred), some plastic. I don’t want to turn...

    Blue Ridge Pkwy Fall Foliage Video Clip

    Last Friday the foliage on the Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP) in Central Virginia was supposed to be approaching peak, so I took a little run over that way to check it out. I left N. Chesterfield and headed west on Rte. 60 and took it over to where it intersected with the Parkway, roughly 123 miles. I...

    Anyone running 80/100w H4 bulbs in their Ryker?

    Curious if anyone has run 80/100w H4 bulbs in their Ryker? I swapped out the 55/60w H4 in my Kawasaki Concours with the higher wattage bulbs to improve night-time illumination and was very happy with change. I did try several of the LED bulbs that were out there, but their patterns and...

    What is the Actual USB Connector Voltage?

    In the glove box section of the Owner’s Manual, it says: “A double USB connector is also located inside the glove box. Each USB plug can charge with current up to 2.1A at 5V.” However, if you look at the wiring diagram, it shows the source of the USB connectors power as coming from a switched...

    Anyone found the Ryker's Alternator Output Specs? Primarily, amps?

    Has anyone found the specifications for the Ryker’s alternator output, volts and amps, primarily amps? The only number I’ve seen is 30A +/- 5A for some test they’re running in the Manual. I’d like to know this figure so I know how much electrical “stuff” I can hang on the system without...

    My Hazard Light and Other Wiring Install

    One of the things that surprised me with the new-to-me 2022 Ryker Sport I picked up a couple of weeks ago, was the lack of hazard light capability. Back in my working days, my bikes were my preferred source of commuter transportation, so I rode them in all sorts of weather. My ’95 Kawasaki...
