I only ride my 2021 Ryker Rally in ECO MODE!

[Beanz1]

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.

Neither do I. No matter how I am riding, or where, I get in the low 30s. That's good enough for me.

I use 87 fuel in my Ryker, that's all I have used in it.

Sport Mode all the time, 93 octane, & 38.5 MPG works for me.

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.

Doesn't sound like you are aging at all!:thumbup:
