• 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.

Ryker Rally front shock spring preload settings.

Moving it to 2 has helped with highway feel/twitchiness for me….. it did feel a little sloppy in corners tho and have just moved it back to three today.. I am going to try that for a bit… They are so easy to move (now that i know how) that im just going to keep messing with it. I would absolutely recommend checking the tire pressures regularly as that can contribute to an uneven ride.

At the end of the day, I dont know if its the roads in central ohio, or if its the nature of the ryker, if i have a tire balance or alignment issue or ifs my own uneasiness but I still just dont love the ryker on the highway. 55mph on a backroad I can do all day but something changes, either for me or my ryker above 65/70mp.

I so much dont like the highway that in a few weeks i am going camping with some friends and planning to take the ryker.. It can either be a 3.5 hour highway ride or a 5 hour backroads ride.. If i take the ryker, i am doing the 5 hours on backroads

I am fully willing to admit that it just might be me, but I have had my ryker since february 2020 and have put on ~3k miles in that time and while thats not a ton, it surpasses the threshold for comfortability and time people keep saying to give it.
 
When I was using the stock Rally shocks I set them at about the 2.5 mark (I weigh 170 suited up). I have since replaced the front shocks with 400 mm shocks I purchased from Amazon. They gave me 1.5" more front end clearance and as SportsterDoc has indicated they provide much better cornering performance. I have left the 400 mm shocks at the (as received) setting.

Can you please put up a link to these shocks? Thanks!!
 
How about tire pressures, are you inflating them to the manual specs, or the max specs printed on the tire? If its the max pressure printed on the tire its too much psi, go by the manual. I run mine at about 3 psi above the manual specs.
