LOCKING GAS CAP

It did not look like you could lock the gas cover, but it could be that once the key is out (slips in by your left leg). I don't believe you can use the e-brake after the key is removed. You shift into reverse with a lever close to your left foot!

I was an LEO for 37 yrs. and never investigated a Gas theft from a Mtc. never even heard of it occurring …. Mike :thumbup:

Well this is my lovely wife sitting on a Ryker! According to the folks at BRP, I was the first person not from BRP to ryde a Ryker on the Road!

:congrats: How do you like it?

How does it handle?

In comparison to the spyder, how does the "Ryker" Start( do you have to turn the key, and wait for the computer to intialize)?

Or do you" turn the Key" and GO?

:agree: They just don't carry enough fuel to be a target.

That's because they usually take the whole damn bike! Gas and all!

A bit different with the Ryker and the bulging backbone makes it seem like it is carrying a boatload of fuel... Could make it more tempting to the bad sorts.... :dontknow:

Per videos- You attach a DESS connector to the left side (Like a Jet Ski) Push the Start button- Then a Twist of the throttle starts It.

It will fit in the RV!:yes:

I was thinking that we will see a lot of them in the back of RV’s, especially the Rally models.

Sorry folks for the lack of response. We have been leading rydes non stop. First impression: This is a really fun machine. Just jump on, grip it and rip it. We only have access to the 600 cc version, but it really gets up and goes. I am told that this little beast weighs in at around 550 lbs. Fuel economy at about 45 to 50 mpg. All of the Nanny Mechanisms are built in so the safety factor remains in play. The 900 has Sport Mode, and also a Rally model with off road tires and "Rally Mode" to allow you to play in the dirt and have fun. Amazing how smooth it accelerates with no shifting at all. Shaft drive is very smooth and no "Vibration". Three colored panels that can be switched out for what ever color you want to ryde that day. They pop on and they pop off. Full "U-Fit" system that you can adjust in seconds for Ryders of different sizes. Both handle bars and foot pegs. You can even adjust the the angle of the Brake peddle. One panel slides back to reveal the gas tank, fill it, and slide it back. Gas and go! Rydes really nice and has a lots of accessories available. Detachable passenger seat with passenger pegs, additional storage can be purchased. Oh 16 inch wheels!

It is designed for 3 types of Ryders. The 20 to 30 something crowd that wants to commute to work with a back pack on their back that just can't afford the $30,000.00 machine. The Rally folks that want to mix it up in the dirt. Lastly for people like you that just want to go out and have fun. I think these guys are going sell really well, and I suggest you test ryde one when you have the opportunity. :yes::yes::yes:

:thumbup: The panels pop on & off, any chance of blow off or missing grommets like on the RT?:dontknow:
how is the access & view for checking fluids? I read about sliding door for gas does it lock??
is there any storage space or only additional ?? If you please. Thanks in advance

The Ryker is not a Spyder. BRP was very adamant about. The base price on the 2019 RT will be $3500.00 lower.

Would you be kind enough to elaborate on how BRP was adamant on the Ryker not being a Spyder? What details or explanations might they have expressed?

Thank you Pirate.

 

[Sarge707]

Yes 16 inch all around and Kendas all around. BTW I was really impressed with the cornering capabilities. Ryde position is very similar to the F3! That seat may be a bit lower.

I was examining the specs and the Rear on the Rally is 205/55/15? as Opposed to 205/45/16 on the Others. Seems maybe wider- Not a tire specialist? Also who knows about the KYB APG shocks on the Rally vs Sachs on the others? Only the rear shock on the Sachs have any preload adjustment while the KYB has adjustments on ALL and a separate cylinder on the fly adjustment on the rear.
Are KYB that much better for normal on road use?:dontknow:

 

[Rob Rodriguez]

I'd buy the optional fox shocks for ether the standard or the 900. I just consider them to be a higher quality unit than the KYB......but that'
s just me.

That is interesting. The key is inserted down by your left leg. On the Bars there is a start button. You tap the start button, and roll the throttle forward just a bit and it starts!

We did not see the rally version at all.

It was different as there was no windshield at all so lots of wind on my chest, I am sure they will have windshield options available. It handles much like a spyder, especially the F3 as it has a low center of gravity. Turns nicely and was just a lot of fun to ryde.

 

[NonTypicalCPA]

Those ACE engines are very nice power plants! On the dirt and snow side of BRP's lineup, guys are really cranking out the hp on the 900 ace with just a programming change. I'd love to try out a 900 Rally edition if it fits my 6' 2" frame.

I loooooove the looks of the Ryker. I always told my wife that the front trikes would look great with a model that the wheels stick out further than the body.

This Ryker will be a HIT. And I WILL have it. :clap:

I'm will you! Gonna get a trade-in estimate from Dealer Wednesday and either trade or sell myself depending on his offer. I love the F3 BUT I'm tired of the manual shift and Want a Rally for my 70th coming in December!! I WILL have one either way!!!nojoke

I would love to see the catalogue where you can buy the mods- because I could live fine with the 900 Normal version because I have no off road sites and will never carry a Passenger BUT would want Silver grate under the radiator, The Silver piece on the upper front hatch and the 2 Silver pieces in back of each front wheel like the Rally has??? Can't find the cost of them?

CuznJohn just sent me this video: it shows the top storage compartment, and the adjustability of the handlebars. :thumbup:
