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

[dale001]

Mine was being assembled at the dealer when the recall came in. They saw it and I’m first in line to get my new bike done.

What I can't wrap my head around is they're saying the new bolt is 5mm shorter, but the same amount of threads. That just doesn't make sense to me. Purchased a new bolt at Ace Hardware, just for giggles, then pulled out the old bolt. Same size, same thread, no bottoming out and the threads appeared to be fully engaged. Dealerships in California still giving me the runaround to get this taken care of. Concerned I may just be taking my life in my hands if I ride my Rally before I get this done.

Just some info if needed.

steering head is a blind hole.

hole depth with bar clamp installed.
78.48mm or 3.090"
over all depth of the tapped hole is 4.170" or 105.9 mm.

stock bolt length
99.06 mm or 3.90"
bolt threads end at 77.9mm or 3.070".

this puts the last thread of the bolt near the starting thread of the steering head clamp.This could give a false torque when installing.

Mine will be replaced in the morning. Also getting first service done as well. Plus they have to fix my odometer on mine. After the warranty repair, my odometer went back to zero. So now I'm off on miles.

If your Ryker odo is anything like the odo on the Spyder, then I reckon you'll be stuck with that! :banghead: . According to many dealers & BRP themselves, it seems that their electronic dash modules have no facility to modify the odo reading, and once they revert to zero or get replaced, you're starting from Zero again no matter what you do! :sour:

Altho there should be a sticker affixed to the back/internals telling the world that your odo was reset/replaced at whatever your milage was when that occurred, cos certainly here in Oz & I'm pretty sure in your part of the world too, it's illegal to sell a vehicle with a doctored odo, so you hafta be able to attest exactly how far the vehicle with said odo has travelled from the factory, hence the sticker. :thumbup:

So I'll certainly be interested to hear if your dealer DOES have some method to reset yours to its previous milage.

Yep. They put a sticker inside because they can't change the odometer to the correct mileage. Meh. Not a big deal. But got the bolt replaced and all good now.
