Hey all, I keep seeing youtube videos about doing a ryker fuel overflow locator mod. It doesn’t seem like a hard mod and its pretty cheap. But my question is why? Has anyone who isn’t selling these kits actually done the mod and why did you do it. I have owned my 19 ryker rally for 2 years and have never had any issues or a desire to relocated the fuel overflow valve. Have others had this issue?

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.

The fuel neck overflow on my 2020 was sufficiently long. Had it not been, additional hose connected with a barbed connector would have been more than adequate. The only times I had overflow was due to a high flow pump at the filling station.

Sadly passed away, December '23.
The way the current over flow hose is located, it has the potential to splash gas on some of the plastic around the right tire, and as you know, gas and plastic do not play nicely together. This mod extends the hose farther under the Ryker and directly onto the ground. I'm not so sure I like the thought of gasoline fumes building up under the bike and mixing with the heat of the engine/exhaust.

I agree! But at least it doesn't raise the RPM but not the speed.

Like others, I've never overfilled a motorcycle gas tank. That being said, I think adding some fuel line to lower the current overflow hose is a great idea. But not for $30 like others are selling them for. It's a $5 fix and a bit of time wrenching on the Ryker.

My 2019 Ra;;y has overflowed when i tried to top off the tank. However, the placement of the overflow tube from the factory doesnt appear to dump fuel on any of the structure

Apparently the factory is not consistent in the overflow tube length. Additional length may not be necessary.
This is helpful for understanding. My stock overflow tube is long enough that it does not dump gas out on the plastic bits.
