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.
What Tools are needed for maintenance on a Ryker Rally?

You'll be covered with the sets typically sold, I think. You'll need the Ryker wheel nut socket, it's a whopper. I got mine off Amazon, about $30. Check out the Youtube videos by BLR Tuning. Bill goes into great detail on his maintenance videos and makes a point to specify tools needed ahead of time. Same with Beth at Ryker Rydes. Welcome to the forum, and congrats on the Rally!

Welcome to the forum, WLonge.
I haven't done a lot of maintenance, only a few hundred over 3,000 miles so far. But working on the Ryker to add various accessories I've used the following:
Torx - T15, T20, T30
Allen metric - 3, 4
Socket metric - 8, 10, 11, 13, 15
Socket SAE - 2.5"
Open/Box end wrench metric - 7, 10, 11
Open/Box end wrench SAE - 11/32"
Screwdriver flat blade - small
Screwdriver Phillips - #2
Pliers - needle nosed & regular
I went with the SAE 2.5" instead of the 65mm for the wheel lug nut. And like Sarah said, it is a whopper.
Also, plus one on BLR Tuning and Ryker Rydes videos. They are very helpful.
Almost forgot, you'll need a specialized tool if you change the CVT belt yourself. It's available from several sources and about $60.

You'll need a torque wrench for the wheel nuts that are 221 lb/ft spec. (anyway on the 2019 models, maybe that has changed)
Also a smaller torque wrench for other maintenance.
