• 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.

I only ride my 2021 Ryker Rally in ECO MODE!

Yes, that's right! I only ride it in eco mode. My reason is that I am 72 and 1/2 years old and don't need to ride any faster than the speed limit these days. It is also the first motorcyce I have ever owned in my lifetime. People ask me why I just didn't get a Ryker 600, my answer is that I got what I wanted. I love my Ryker Rally and don't regret buying it. :thumbup:

I'm 86 and ride like bat out of hell. Tried ECO mode once and found it to be a real joy killer. Not only do I avoid ECO mode, I have installed car tires, a Bajaron sway bar, a Pedal Commander, and Elka Stage 2 front shocks. Yee Haw!!! See ya later.
We all age differently.
 
I ride stage 2 in ECO 99% of the time for economic reasons. Then, I have the 2 stage afterburner effect if I need it.
 
I see so little difference (in both fuel economy and performance) that I really don't pay much attention.
 
I use 87 fuel in my Ryker, that's all I have used in it.

I've had three Spyders ( engines are all Rotax ) two V-twins and the 1330 RT .... all lived on 87 octane and all performed great .... yours will also ..... JMHO ... Mike, :thumbup:

My Ryker Rally does seem to like 87 octane, I haven't had one problem. People are always trying to get me to use 93 octane, I say nope, I'm happy using 87 octane! :2thumbs:

A stock Ryker can live just as well on 87 as on 91. The ECM should be designed to adjust for that. 91 just burns at a lower temp than 87 but you'll never notice it. The joy of the ride is all the same.
