• 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 Don't Know What You've Got Till It's Gone

    Lamont just sent me this picture. He was all the time taking pictures when we rode. I don't think I ever did. Now I'm sorry because he's holding the camera instead of being in the picture himself. The M109R (The Beast) is my all time favorite 2-Wheeled machine. You can see Lamont's own custom...

    2024 RT L back at the dealer for the 9th time in 3 months!! How long until you give up?

    I agree. This could very well be a single source creating all the drama. You would think the dealership would look to voltage issues as a first possibility. Bad batteries are well known for creating this kind of scenario. Low voltage can give the ECU a stroke. Which means you can't trust...

    2024 RT L back at the dealer for the 9th time in 3 months!! How long until you give up?

    American Lemon Laws generally apply to all vehicles sold in the United States, regardless of their country of origin. Lemon laws apply to vehicles sold or leased within a given jurisdiction. Check with your state for how a lemon law, if they have one, can be accessed. BRP has to comply to sell...

    Recommend any Rear shock replacements other than the $$$ Elka's??

    Yes, we have a line of front shocks. We are working on the rear now. I've sent you a PM that you might take a look at.

    Recommend any Rear shock replacements other than the $$$ Elka's??

    I appreciate your input. Whenever you produce a product, you have to choose a direction. Just giving the reasons we went the way we did. There is no perfect anything. Everything is a tradeoff. We all do what we think is best. It's what makes the world go around.

    Recommend any Rear shock replacements other than the $$$ Elka's??

    Springs simply hold the machine up to the required ride height. Once this is done, additional spring rate can create a harsh ride. While this may improve handling, it does so with a downside. The other way to control unwanted suspension movement is with improved hydraulic valving inside the...

    Difficulty shifting down to 2nd gear when at running temperature - any ideas/information appreciated?

    The clutch is hydraulic and needs the same maintenance as your brake fluid. Check the reservoir and flush the system. I wouldn't be surprised if its been in there for 15 years. Also, those who put the fat foam grips on manual bikes reduce the throw on the clutch lever. That can keep the clutch...

    No problem. You're paying the bill so you get to apply whatever philosophy you like.

    Recommend any Rear shock replacements other than the $$$ Elka's??

    Elka makes a rear shock without external reservoir. And that external reservoir brings dampening adjustment out to where you don't have to climb under the bike to make adjustment. So it is functional, and it will not reduce the reliability or longevity of the shock

    Soft brake pedal on 2023 Ryker 600 with 1,000km - is this normal?

    What happens when you pump the pedal. (Do it with your hand as that will give you better feedback). Does it pump up? And when you hold pressure, does it go down slowly? RVI. I'll have to remember that one!

    Battery/Starting slow spin - is this common & why doesn't it start like a normal motorcycle?

    Nor is it the digital beast our Spyders have become.

    Time for brakes on my 2014 RT - any tips or recommendations?

    Carbon fiber is just a fancy way of saying 'Organic'. Everything is a tradeoff. Organic is kinder to your rotors, at the expense of stopping power and quicker fade. I always ask customers. When you STOMP on your brake pedal because you REALLY want to stop, are you more concerned about how much...

    2024 will Crank, but just won't start! More later...

    Fuel pressure is easy to check. I'm not sure why they would throw so many expensive parts at it without doing more diagnostics.

    2016 Spyder F3-T - is this a Battery showing signs of age/decay? Or is it not charging? If so, why?

    Yuasa YTX24HL-BS. 350 CCA & 22.1 AH. If you have the money, a good Lithium battery is also a great option.
