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.

You will likely get a myriad of answers (I emphasize the fact that you ask "to clean" as opposed to preserve/protect). According to the 2021 operator's guide, "Hand-wash with a soft wash mitt and a mild cleaning product safe for matte paint." (p. 119). I personally have been using Meguiar's Gold Class car wash on all my vehicles for many years with excellent results. I have yet to actually wash my Ryker, but when I do I will be using Meguiar's. For touch-ups between washes, I use a damp quality microfiber cloth on the matte plastic and textured powder coated surfaces, and Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer (and another microfiber cloth) on the gloss plastic (i.e., in my case the side panels) and gloss metal surfaces.

Try this stuff.It works pretty good.

I try not to hose it down unless its really dirty because the fasteners and metal parts of theses machines rust as quick as you can look at it (especially the stamped metal parts). If I do use the hose, I use a gas powered leaf blower to dry and displace all the water that collects in all the nooks & crannies. I usually use wet cotton rags repeatedly then towel dry. No paint on these machines, its pure pigmented black plastic. I use 303 Aerospace Protectant about every three months. Its used in the marine boating industry to prevent weathering, fading and cracking of plastics & vinyl's on marine vessels, ATV, UTV's campers and such. It does a really nice job on the black plastics on the Rykers keeping it new looking and preventing fading.
