• 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 am just wondering if any of the Rykers that have skid plates undereath have to remove them for an oil change when draining from the two plugs ?
 
Skidplate removal is not necessary. However, some have used a toilet paper roll tube stuck up in the hole around the drain plugs to direct flow and reduce mess. It also helps if the bike is level so that no extra oil runs inside the skidplate. If you run the front tires up on ramps jack up the rear an equivalent amount and put a block under the tire.
