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.
Oops - left my 'key' in the Ryker...

I went to my favorite Chinese restaurant tonight. Upon leaving I realized I left the key "in" the Ryker the whole time.pps: Perhaps the bizarre start up sequence kept it from being stolen.
Even I still have problems with the "starting sequence" sometimes after 5,000 miles on our RTL!!

Please Remove the Key
A very good way to remember to remove your Spyder key.
I have started doing this and it really helps me.
I find that as we all age out, the need is coming. ...... : )

Unless I read the manual incorrectly, I don't think my Ryker has a twist and pull key. It just plugs in. I could be wrong though.

As I posted before, I’ve won a lot of bar bets When I challenge someone to go out and start my trike. Haven’t lost yet.

That happened to me more times then I want to admit.

We left the ignition key in our 2009 RS in the parking lot of a hotel in Fairbanks Alaska. The bike, with the key in the ignition, was still there in the morning, after a frantic search through our luggage and room.

I know thar the OP mentioned a Ryker, but I do think that it is pertinent to all rides, 2 as well as 3 wheels. I’ve left my key in my Goldwing when I’ve been in a restaurant (many years ago) and have also done that with my RT. This has happened numerous times. Looking at it positively, nothing bad has ever resulted from my doing this. I think that BRP has made the starting sequence difficult, for non-owners, to discourage problems. I now have and use the IPS key holder from Lamont and park in the garage at night.
Correct. If you pull it off while idling, the engine keeps running too according to the manual. I haven't left it idling while I went in a restaurant. Yet. :bbq:
You guys take your Ryker key out? It's not really a "key" now, is it? Most people don't know what a Ryker is. If they twist it, as you do with all keys.....
They will think, "What !? This isn't a key. No, I leave it in 90% of the time. But I'm not known to be smart
That could fool some people. Experienced thieves will know what's up though :shocked:

Yes, but if experience thieves want it, you won’t stop them, no matter what you do.
Pulling the Ryker "key" off while idling will not shut down the Ryker - you are correct. You mention you haven't left it idling while you went inside somewhere - the Ryker actually does have a 3 minute idle shutdown which I find interesting. If left idling with no ride input for 3 minutes it shuts itself off. It does beep/give warning before doing so to allow for user input.

I don't mean to hijack this Ryker thread, but I left the key for my RT in the trunk once. I usually stick the key in that Can Am key holder that I wear on a lanyard around me neck. I locked my helmet in the frunck and riding jacket in the trunk. Went into the store to do some shopping. When I came out I reached for the key to get my jacket out to make room for groceries. No key. I checked all my pockets, nothing. My next thought was I locked it in the truck, then realized no way since I needed the key to lock the trunk. I walked around to the back of the bike, there was the key, right in the trunk lock where I left it. Crisis averted.
