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'm part of a number of Ryker groups on FB and overall I'd say people are happy with their Rykers. There have been some issues for some people but overall I think its a small portion of total owners. The wheel nut issue came up on the FB groups and it looked like a widespread thing but then someone did a pole of people with the problem and it turned out approx. 2 out of 90 people had the issue. Those 2 people where just very good at complaining and making it look like a larger issue. Personally I think the wheel nut issue is an improper dealer installation issue.
I like my Ryker. 4000 miles, no issues, still riding. There is no other Can Am On Road product I would buy.

It's the way it is.....
First year productions are all like this. As much as they are tested and scrutenized there is no test like Joe Public....They seem to find ways no lab can to find the flaws. I have had several first year productions and they all had recalls and parts upgrades within a short time of ownership. I now avoid those early models. I believe the wheel nut is a design and or material failure. I have not seen an overtorques nut split/crack as generally the threads will strip out or you will have issues taking them back off. Not a reason to hate the ryker.....:thumbup:

Sadly passed away, December '23.
Judging from your profile picture, I'd say those were a pretty tough 3,000 miles. If the Ryker can handle that I'm sure normal road use would be a piece of cake.
Agree, still happy with mine and no issues with it. In regards to the original post, since then, there has been two recalls on the wheel nut issue for model years 2019 & 2020.

When I purchased my Rally model in January 2019 it was because of an injury to my right wrist and hand that made me feel my two wheel days were over. It wasn't perfect but the Ryker got me back on the road. The Ryker concept was a product experiment by BRP to look for a new market and that appears to be a success. To their credit it appears that corporate has monitored the traffic on this site and the improvements made to the 2022 model Sport and Rally reflect many of the aftermarket modifications (suspension, seating, chassis height, lighting, exhaust, etc.) that we (the beta users) have written about here. I also received a survey from BRP asking about issues of interest (including different tires) we were interested in. I do admit that their appears to be a disconnect at times between between the BRP engineers and the dealership tech's and this could use improvement; however, I am still happy that the product was available when I needed it. Just my opinion.

I'm a rookie with the Ryker. Only a couple of weeks and 300 miles. There are nuances that comes with riding naked and low to the ground. But overall she's a fine beast and makes me smile.

At the risk of appearing ignorant, what does the T mean in 20 T ? Tesla units?

My guess is it's short for Thousand.
