Took my Ryker Rally to the dealer I bought it from for the wheel nut replacement today about 70 miles away. They said leave it on the trailer and we will come out and do it. Here comes some punk kid with the nuts and a torque wrench. Wants to jack up the front end for some damn reason and puts the floor jack on the plastic nose, I told him to move the jack which he did and got it under the frame this time. Strike 1. But he completed the front without further issue. He then moved to the rear, I told him he was going to need an extension on his torque wrench but he didn't listen. Torque wrench slipped off the nut like I knew it would and put a big gouge in the wheel. Strike 2. I said your going to replace that wheel so he went and got the service manager. He came out and agreed they screwed up and would replace the wheel. Pulled one off a showroom Ryker and swapped it out. It's no wonder people have issues with their Ryker's not being assembled properly. Home now but still can't believe the stupidity. This kid also told me he assembled all the Ryker's there, God help them.

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.

New nuts questionable??
I have not heard of any of the newer nuts having any problems, cracks or otherwise. The nuts aren't questionable. The minimum? payed employees are.

Yeah, but my question wasn’t about the “newer nuts”, canamryder. My question was whether the nut on the rear of KC’s model Ryker needed to be replaced as there were potential issues with rear wheel nuts also. I don’t even know if they are the same size as the faulty front wheel nuts

Same size, same nut.

Yes, all wheel nuts are identical front and rear

OOHHH! :banghead:Now I remember, Peteoz. In one of your posts you mentioned you like the Rykers, but a little small for you. So I am now assuming you weren't keeping up on all the Ryker nut issues. That's understandable. I'll word it this way, all 3 nuts on the Rykers built post 2/19 to ?9/19? are being replaced. THOSE are the questionables. Sorry about the misinterpretation!
