• 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.

    Any Idea What This Hose Connects To?

    I found it in the parts diagram, and it looks like it connects to another hose that runs to a fitting on the top of the tank on the right side of the filler opening. The two hoses apparently have a connector to join the two, and both of the hose ends are clamped with Oetiker clamps. But, as...

    Any Idea What This Hose Connects To?

    Found it after removing the glovebox when trying to figure out my headlight alignment issue. The other end connects to the purge valve. I didn't disconnect it, and there are no clamp marks on it what-so-ever. ????

    Range Anxiety Be Damned - Rotopax installed!

    Haven’t seen the Sargent seats for a Ryker, but I did put one on my ’02 KLR a number of years ago. Heck of a lot better than the OEM seat that came on the bike. It’s flat and wide and gives you an initial impression of being too firm, but its shape evenly distributes the weight and shape of...

    Range Anxiety Be Damned - Rotopax installed!

    One thing I found out real quick was to NOT tighten down the handle snug per their instructions. Heat, especially what we’ve been seeing over the last few days, causes the container to “poof up” to where it’s nearly impossible to turn the handle over the locking bumps in the container’s top so...

    Whose Ryker Air Filters Are You Using? OEM or which A/mkt equivalents?

    The CVT filter is new, so will just wait until it gets funky looking, and will swap it out then with the K&N. The original had a little over 5K on it of straight road use, so should expect about the same for this one. That should coincide with the mileage for the belt replacement.

    Whose Ryker Air Filters Are You Using? OEM or which A/mkt equivalents?

    I went back out and looked, and can now see where the RH filter has ducting into the CVT housing. Not sure why I zeroed in on the filters the way I did, but will make the swap tomorrow. Appreciate the catch, and correction.

    Range Anxiety Be Damned - Rotopax installed!

    Coming from two long-distance bikes that have ~7 gal. tanks and get excellent fuel mileage (easy 250+ mile range), the Ryker’s tank size and range made me a little nervous. Looking for a way to add some supplemental fuel should I need it, I found the Rotopax system that had several container...

    Whose Ryker Air Filters Are You Using? OEM or which A/mkt equivalents?

    CVT filter on the LH side (sitting on bike? Easily corrected since I haven't ridden it anywhere due to the excessive heat.

    Whose Ryker Air Filters Are You Using? OEM or which A/mkt equivalents?

    Looked at the CVT side filter, and it looked very good, so I left it alone. I do have a K&N filter in the wings for when a replacement is due. I use K&N filters on two of my 2-wheelers, so I do appreciate their value. I may even have one in my Dodge RAM, but I can't remember; I so rarely drive...

    What is the Latitude of Ryker Vertical Headlight Range Adjustment?

    Shortly after I picked up my ’22 Sport I changed out the pathetic OEM headlight bulbs with some LED replacements. An improvement in brightness was obvious, but some slight tweaking was necessary for L<->R adjustment, but those were easily brought into into proper positioning as the adjustments...

    Ryker turning left Issues

    Kinda scary. In this instance, makes ya wonder if the left hand knows what the right hand is doing, i.e., two sets of instructions for the same task, omit/add the new spacer?

    That's what I was thinking too.

    Ryker turning left Issues

    I "looked" at using that method but was concerned about inadvertently tweaking the arm and rod alignment the bearings were mounted on. I had the proper pullers so just used them.
