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.

In another post Cruzer Joe said 40mpg. I seem to remember watching a video and they calculated the mileage to be about 35mpg. So, I'd guess in the 35-40mpg range for the 900

With the engine size and weight of the Ryker, I think 40 is realistic. It's is going to take some field testing once the machines get out and about.
I am guessing lower mileage is going to prevail--due to the "fun" factor--and the tendency to have that throttle busy most of the time.
Time will tell. :yes:

Let's wait until there are some Ryker owners posting about what their fuel mileage is...
The Dealers will say ANYTHIMG: in order to get you to sign on the dotted line. nojoke

Mine has already given me the speech about not believing anything you read on the internet bla bla bla:lecturef_smilie:…………...didn't have the heart to tell him I found his website there:banghead:.
In theory you would think a cvt would give higher mileage by it's very design and operation but yeah unknown variables need a run first.

We're also not too sure about how aerodynamics will play into the equation... :dontknow:
But nobody ever lies on the Internet! :roflblack:

I'm sure it will be no different than any other Spyder. It will depend on how you ride. I get better mileage on my GS riding for a long cruise on the highway, versus what I get riding back and forth to work. I don't really worry about what MPG I get, just put gas in it when the light comes on. I'm sure once they start appearing on the road, there will be many posts about what MPG's everyone gets, and who gets more or less. LOL

Some Spyders just get better mileage than others. My wife is a much more disciplined rider than I, yet I consistently get 2 or more mpg than her. When we travel together on longer trips, filling up together, she always needs about a half gallon more gas than I do to fill.
That said, milage varies between 30 and 45. The Ryker will be in the same range. Milage will not be a decision point for purchase.

Anyone that has already been blessed with having a Ryker had the opportunity to check the fuel mileage?

Most people get wildly varying mileage numbers out of their Spyder. Some will then quote to you the highest reading they got as though it is what they always get. There are so many variables that a person has to be pretty diligent to get a reliable figure. The biggest variable is created by the small fuel tank. And it can be difficult to fill to the same point each time. Add to this that most get fuel long before they are on empty and you have a good deal of potential for an incorrect reading.
I do not seem to be getting great mileage out of my Rally. But it is way too soon to tell.

My mileage is off of gallons put in tank and miles ridden, I do not look at gas gauge. I always fill to top. Small tank or large tank full is full.

The Ryker is 0nly a 900 and Most have said turns around 5500 rpm at 60 mph while my F3 is about 3700? at 60 so the Higher Rpms are compensating quite a bit for the smaller motor. I can't see how its going to handle better than my F3 which I will ride Saturday and New Years Day as its near 50 both days!!! Ye Ha

Sounds like the Ryker will be getting about the same as the 990 Spyders. I know that some of you fuel mileage doesn't matter but to others like me it does matter. I understand that it depends on so many different things however we are able to get an idea of what it's getting. As gvcntx is thinking around 30 and BajaRon doesn't seem to think it's real good tells me a lot especially with BajaRon said as he is riding his in eco mode. I have been having a hard time deciding to purchase a Ryker or F3. I can not get my mind rapped around only getting 30. Yes it's a mind set and I'm not getting over it. If anyone wants to tell me what they think I'm very open to suggestions between the F3 and Ryker
Do you mean the manufacturer? Dealers don't usually perform independent testing.
