• 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.

Wires rubbing tire

After reading a couple of comments about turn signal wire rubbing the tire and limp mode caused by a loose wire near the wheel I decided to look at my own.
I found wires under the fender on the right side rubbing the tire. Fortunately the weather and roads have been too bad to ride in so I only have about 35 miles on the Ryker. You can see in the pictures that the tape covering the wires has already worn in that time. The main problem was there was too much wire folded up for the turn signal and poor routing of the wire to the wheel speed sensor connector. I split the fender partially apart and pushed the turn signal wire up into the area for the light to take up the slack. I also rerouted the sensor wire so it did not have the loop that was rubbing the tire. Lucky I found this now and not out on a long ride.

:thumbup:Glad you caught befor any trouble. Is a shame not made any better than that:lecturef_smilie: especially for the rookie RYDERS it's intended to draw in that won't know to look :yikes:BRP just expects the dealers to sort it out & handle TOO much
 
I just went out and looked. Mine are not that way; the routing looks tight against the fender and clear of the tire. The you tube videos of uncrating and assembling the Rykers shows them arriving without wheels or fenders. I suspect there is some variation in assembly based on the individual dealerships. Mine must have been careful
