• 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.

    28k Service - I must rant about my experience

    The biggest down fall of what we are all facing is that we don't have enough YOUNG hands that want to work in the trades and get their hands dirty!! There is good money for anyone out there that wants to learn the trade. And like Blue stated, the way some of these shops operate is unbelievable...

    NEW oil leak 2016 RT - anyone recognize it/know what it is from?

    Oh, heck check your oil filter cap!! ;) The trouble with the RT is that with the engine wrapped up like a cocoon a drop of oil down in the belly pan will go anywhere. Like said above, if it keeps on dripping you are going to have to open that side of the bike and do a little snooping around! If...

    Fuel Gauge Quit, still shows Empty after filling - any ideas what's happened?

    Some people had troubles after they installed Magic Mirrors to get rid of the crappy spring clamps they used to have! The magnets would mess the gauge up because they were too close, that's what I ran into. I loved the magnets more than the gauges, so I went digital, I think they were more...

    How I fixed my Twitchy brakes!

    I had ridden an RTL for a few years before I went to a open house at one of the local dealerships and did a test ride on a Ryker. Wow, what a little rocket! And yes, with it not weighing very much, it was VERY responsive to hand guidance, you can very easily over steer those things! They are...

    2010 RTS - unexplained quitting fixed & some Engine mods.

    Well, to check for cracked boots, you can take some carb cleaner or starting fluid and LIGHTLY spritz it around the boots while the engine is running and see if you get an rpm change!

    Rear brake caliper piston will not fully retract any ideas? Or just rebuild &/or replace?

    I went through this brake gremlin with a friends RT, Ural is his BEST bet, BRP really wasn't much help! Ural uses the same brake assembly on their bikes today that we use on the older style bike we have! There's really not very much inside that brake assembly that can go wrong, except the screw...

    Rear brake caliper piston will not fully retract any ideas? Or just rebuild &/or replace?

    If you were in the US, I would send one to you, got one in my spare parts box! Snowbelt hit the ball out of the park again like always, got to wind back that shaft!

    My Running lights are staying on - 2020 Spyder RTL! Any ideas?

    Maybe Snowbelt will chime in here, but I would say there is a relay sticking on somewhere in the ignition loop! Good luck, I HATE electrical Gremlins!

    Ryker newbie - how do I break in the CVT belt? Any other tips?

    When you're in there and opened up, take an air hose and give the clutches a good blow down, get any loose belt dust and road dust out of there! Dirt is your enemy; it wears out parts!

    Has anyone tried an Automotive glass pack muffler on their RT?

    Sky's the limit on this one!! ;) Whatever floats your boat, ear plugs are optional!!🤣
