What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

[canamryder]

I had some 5mm thick "radiant barrier" insulation left over from doing the shed. So a cut out out a piece and put it up under the saddle. Not directly under the cushion, but wedged up in the framing underneath. Now if it ever warms up around here in N Illinois, I'll test it out.

With both the sway bar upgrade, and moving the front shocks to the #4 line, she handles much better. Well worth the investment.

Also added more tufskin decals to her ride. I'll upload some pics soon.

Today I added the RFY 400mm front shocks that a lot of people have been getting. I noticed a HUGE improvement over the stock Rally front shocks. Much more responsive maneuvering and the bike appears to be less twitchy on the highway.
I got the set that comes with the 10mm bushing option for $89.99 on Amazon.

Later this afternoon I checked the air pressure in each shock and found that one was at 15 psi and the other at 30 psi so I balanced them out at around 15 to 18 psi. I like that I have the option to not only play with air pressure, but the set also came with shock spanner wrenches for adjusting the spring rate. Very cool.

One thing I did notice while installing was the lower bushing is not as long as the oem bushing so the lower end of the spring could be allowed to move back and forth on its mounting bolt. I fixed this by buying some nylon washers at the hardware store and filling the gaps.

Today I went for about a 60 mile ride. Then decided to change the engine oil (4030 miles old) Odometer at 12,585 miles, CVT warning came on at 12,528 miles. So I changed the belt also. What a way to spend the 4th! But I got 'er done.

Over the past 4 weeks I have upgraded my 2020 900 Ryker with a lot of stuff but the most enjoyable so far is the Pedal Commander. Got it when Slingmods had it on sale a couple of weeks ago. Setting is on Sport +3. Man the response time is awesome. Instantaneous. Still working on perfecting my wrist movement.

I call her Boomer, I had to put the ole girl in the Hospital today for a fuel pump, I think? They are going to run a disgnostic test to see what the real problem is that's keeping it from starting. That's what I did to my Ryker Rally today.

As promised, here's some pics of the wife's bike.

I've been adding Mods to my Ryker Rally, aka Boomer. I got it back from the shop at the end of July. Here's a look at it now. I've still got to work on the ties next. :2thumbs:

Added some vinyl

Just added the back the blue punisher skull and some green eyes

 

[DragonMotorSports]

Added:
F4 Windshield, easy to install and love it.
Parking Brake Lock, not the greatest theft solution but nice just the same.
Foam Hand Grips, like the thickness and reduction of vibration.
Silicone License Plate Cover, a nice finish look.

Added:
F4 Windshield, easy to install and love it.

Curious how that might affect a passenger.

What did I do today ...? Put a Pittsburgh Steeler decal on the saddlebags.

Installed a throttle lock

Installed an Atlas Throttle Lock today. A bit pricey at $145, yet seems like quality craftsmanship, it was a snap to install, and does the trick. :clap:

I have a 2022 Ryker Sport 900 cc bought new earlier in 2022. Since I have stability walking problems, I sold my bike and got the Ryker. I was quite disappointed with the handling and wander on the road. I played around with tire pressures and added new sway bar links. None of this helped so I took it to my local dealer for a front end alignment. They did it and told me the toe-in was too much. They did not say how much but the alignment did the trick. The Ryker is now very stable and handles like a different bike. I'm very happy now. I asked the dealer I purchased it from and asked if they checked the alignment when they assembled it. They said NO, the factory does it. Not possible. Anyway, I'm now a happy Ryker driver...

Just an oil change for me

Custom Reverse Shifter

Hello, new here with my 2022 Rally that I bought in January!
So far I've got my break-in completed- 1st oil change done!
Added heated grip wraps- work great without adding extra bulk to the grip!
Converted to LED headlights.

The best I've done though is to make a custom one-off reverse shifter.
I used 1/4" sq bar to make a basket twist shift knob and welded it to the 1 piece of 1/2" sq bar with a few bends and twists!!



So easy to find 'neutral' with this!!
I am planning to add a custom linkage as well - I'll get this done soon.

..... (Sorry for the picture orientation, also new to posting pictures on a forum. Any tips on this?)

Welcome to the Forum & posting! :2thumbs:

Re the pics, this bit is easy - just take any pics you intend to post on the Forum with your camera/phone/tablet in Landscape Mode by dropping the top of your device to the Left, ie, spin it 90° Counter-Clockwise :thumbup:

The Forum has the Top LEFT Corner of all images hard-wired as its Anchor Point, while most small image capturing devices use the Top Right Corner in Portrait Mode as their default Anchor Point - so when you take a pic in Portrait Mode it sets the Top Right Corner as the Anchor Point & then when that image is displayed on the Forum, the platform software will display that image with that corner in the Top Left! :gaah:

Sooo, instead of trying to get everyone to change their image capturing devices default (which would still be waaaaayyy easier than trying to change the Forum default! :banghead: ) it's just simpler for you to take your pics in Landscape Mode - but do remember to turn your device 90° Counter-Clockwise! If you go the other way (ie Clockwise) then your pics will be displayed on the Forum upside down.... while that might be fine for me and any others who live Down Under, it might make it harder for all you Northern Hemisphere types!

Over to you! :cheers:
