• 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 there supposed to be a Voltage Regulator Cover on my Ryker?

    Yes, I agree. Heat sinks are important for sure. Thanks, Bfromla!! You can see that stud in your picture! What's it for???? ;) Anyway, I feel better now. FYI - I'm from the Covington area way down south of you.

    Is there supposed to be a Voltage Regulator Cover on my Ryker?

    I added a photo to my original post. The threaded stud isn't visible, but it's at the bottom of that heat sink. It just seemed suspiciously like it was there for a reason, such as a for a bolt holding down a plastic cover.

    Is there supposed to be a Voltage Regulator Cover on my Ryker?

    Hello, I've got a 2021 900 Ryker. During an oil change, I noticed my voltage regulator heat sink is out there in the open, which I hadn't paid attention to before. Just below it was a nice shiny bare threaded stud that looked it should have something screwed on it. Is there supposed to be a...

    2022 Ryker Rally - Rattle in Drive Shaft/Under Seat at Low RPM/Speed - any ideas?

    I agree with Sarah. As I read through this thread, it all started to ring a bell. I wear earplugs, so I remember feeling this chattering effect as a new Ryker rider, not hearing it, especially when my bike was new. I had read somewhere at the time that it was normal and might improve as miles...

    Trying to decide which Ryker to buy - test ride

    I agree. I have similar experiences with my 2021. It is far less physically taxing to ride one of these. Mine could stand to have better shocks in the front, but that's only noticeable when I run across some deep warning bars in a lane shift of a construction area of our local Interstate...

    Are there any mods to quieten the OEM Exhaust on a Rally?

    I can't imagine anything being much quieter than a stock exhaust. I wish mine was a touch louder.

    After 5 months, look what was finally delivered to me Tuesday evening. . .

    Good grief, that was a long wait. Congratulations. It looks great.

    Headlight adjustment procedures: owners manual is backward

    I know this was from a year ago, but thanks for this. I've been very nervous riding at night since I bought this Ryker, even after putting LED headlights in, because they are just aimed too dang low. I can't see anything on a road without streetlights unless I put the high beam on, and that...

    Need to lighten/fix Scratches in Shad hard bag?! Anyone?

    Cool, thanks.

    ..EMERGENCY .. for 2022 RYKER owners - recall on Handle-bar bolts!

    Thank you for pointing this out, Ron. I remember the original story and when it was discredited. It was absolutely criminal what those people did to falsify the crash test results.

    ..EMERGENCY .. for 2022 RYKER owners - recall on Handle-bar bolts!

    This recall is for 2022 Rykers. I don't understand why you don't think a particular year is pinpointed. I don't think this defective bolt is a concern for Ryker owners of all model years.

    Need to lighten/fix Scratches in Shad hard bag?! Anyone?

    I've already put a bunch of scratches in the Shad bag from my boot hitting it and also running it up against my truck like a dummy. Does anybody know how to lighten up the scratches in that kind of plastic? Thanks.:bowdown:

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    I didn't realize how close I was to the truck turning into the garage. I ran the Shad hard saddlebag up against my truck, crapping it all up, plus rubbing off the logo, AND I scratched my truck bumper up. So, that's what I did to my Ryker today. :mad:

    Reverse Beep sounds odd, should I worry?

    Oh yeah. That. I live very near sea level and tend to forget about things like that. I've forgotten what a slope is.

    I saw one in my garage yesterday with a cold engine and needing to be washed.

    2021 Ryker traded - New Kawasaki Concourse 14 replaced it

    You sound like me. I'm never happy and always looking for that greener grass purchase, especially after I've added accessories, seat, tires, etc. for the next guy. I guess I need a garage full of a variety of bikes that I hardly ride ;)

    Reverse Beep sounds odd, should I worry?

    Mine has always done that broken up beep. At least it stops after two blurps. The one that grinds me is when you shut down without the parking lock on. That's unnecessary. I like to shut down and leave it unlocked to I can manually push the bike into my tight garage space. I don't think...

    Weak brakes! Stock Ryker brakes suck - Any other calipers fit?

    My lifetime rule of thumb has been tighten until it snaps off, so I like your approach better. I thought the brakes were pretty good on my 2021 900, and I haven't been scared too much yet. Of course, everything is relative. I'm comparing the brakes to my previous 2004 Dyna Wide Glide, and...

    Your opinion about the Ryker OEM mirrors

    I think they're pretty nice. They hold position and are large enough for me. Of course there's vibration, but it's nothing compared to my previous Harley Dyna. If they could only be self cleaning though....

    Near time to replace OEM tires

    One might come to that conclusion given the OP was posting in the Ryker forum :read:
