Being chased by a Ryker 900 Ralli
I went out for a day with my wife as you can see she hates being a passeanger so she bought a Ryker 900 Ralli same time as I bought my Spyder (just glad I convince her to get the Ralli) heres a quick Video of her following me. The only questions I have is she moans about it feeling unstable at times on the road especially rough patches, I am saying steering stabilizer and upgraded sway bar should do the trick, would I be correct as I ride a Spyder and have never been on a Rker.
Enjoy the short clip. PS Filmed with the INNOVV Rear Camera

Went out with the Wife here is the rear veiw of her following me with her Ryker she bought hers the same time as I got the Spyder I am just glad I convinced her to get the Ralli over the plain 900 as the roads are not that smooth as you see by my rear wheel at times, I am not allowed to touch it apart from a wash now and then, I want to put a steering stabilizer on it and a new sway bar at least, as she is light eough not to warrant new shocks umlike me being the beer guzzling old man.
Enjoy the short clip

Yes, putting the BajaRon sway bar and links on and the steering stabilizer will definitely help. I had to do that with my wife's Rally, and she tells me there's a world of difference.

I agree completely.
I also added upgraded air assist shocks from Amazon but I have a 2019 and I'd like to think the newer models come with better shocks.

Check from tire pressure for amount and equality. Both are very important to handling. I recommend a decent digital pressure gauge.
If she is light, there might be too much air.

I saw the problem immediately . You're riding on the wrong side of the road .

I've had a Ryker and now a Spyder. Do the end links first, it's an easy job and worked wonders for that dodginess. Then do the bar if needed.

I'd recommend doing the swaybar and endlinks on both the Spyder and Ryker. Having more miles and checking tire pressure will help.

Stabilisers and end links would probably help but I think a lot of people who're having issues have a bad alignment setup or are creating the unstable ride themselves. Not all, but some. I have maxed out my 2022 Ryker Rally on several roads of different quality and I can't say it feels unstable. It even takes bumps like a champ. One thing though is to hold the handlebar lightly cause as soon as you start clamping down on them, which is common when you feel unsafe, you will start to micro-managing the steering and those adjustments at higher speeds will make it feel twitchy and unstable. I noticed that as soon as I embraced a soft grip and kinda let the handlebar "do what it wanted to do" it started driving straight and felt a lot more stable. You will feel some wobble through the handlebars at higher speeds, but those won't need adjusting, it's when you try to counter them that the ride gets unstable. Usually, they are just due to the suspension giving you some sideways lean, and that can feel like it's trying to turn, and you counter it which makes it actually turn!

On my Ryker 900 end Links helped some, steering dampener helped more, upgrade to M2 shocks helped the most.

There you go, and a set of tires with that would the cherry on the top!!
