• 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.

    What Brand or Type of Oil Should I Use in my Ryker??? Must it be safe for wet-clutch?

    Automotive oil can be used in a Ryker due to its lack of a wet clutch. The Spyders have a wet clutch that shares oil with the engine, so it requires an oil that made for such applications. I run the Amsiol 10w40 motorcycle oil in my Spyder, but will run the Amsoil XL 10w40 in my Ryker. Same...

    What Brand or Type of Oil Should I Use in my Ryker??? Must it be safe for wet-clutch?

    Thanks, BajaRon. Exactly what I was looking for. I am already running the Amsoil 10w40 motorcycle oil in my Spyder. I had seen your earlier post regarding the Amsoil 10w40 XL. I just wanted to see if you were still recommending it after a few years. I already had it in my cart on the Amsoil site ��

    What Brand or Type of Oil Should I Use in my Ryker??? Must it be safe for wet-clutch?

    I know this is an old thread; but has anyone actually been running conventional oil in their Ryker for an extended period? I really can't see any reason that you would have to run a motorcycle specific oil in the Ryker, with its lack of a wet clutch.

    What is the Stock Front Tire for Sport Model Rykers?

    I have had the same concerns about the Kanines as well. I am only looking into them because there are almost no alternatives to the stock front tires, and the couple that I actually found are completely out of stock everywhere I have checked. I have been running car tires on my Spyder for years...

    What is the Stock Front Tire for Sport Model Rykers?

    What is the stock Kenda tire that comes on the Sport model Ryker? Is it different than the Kenda Kanine that I have seen for sale on several different sites? I know that on the Spyders the Kanine is supposed to be an upgraded tire. I have a Rally, but I may be changing my rims. If I do, I will...

    Any Differences between Ryker's Sport Mode and Rally Mode?

    That is a good question. Do they program each unit depending on what model it is, or do they all have the same computer and they lock/unlock certain features?

    Any Differences between Ryker's Sport Mode and Rally Mode?

    I owned a 2019 Rally that had both Sport Mode and Rally Mode. Unless something has changed, Rally Mode has less restrictions than Sport Mode, meaning less interference from the "Nanny". The rear end would break loose a bit easier in Rally Mode. Also, the Rally has about an inch more clearance vs...

    Anyone else had a Crooked Factory Grill Guard on a Ryker? Any Fix/Adjustments?

    I was looking over my new Ryker Rally and noticed that the grill guard is a bit crooked. Has anyone else experienced this? Also, is this something that can be fixed/adjusted?

    2022 and Later Ryker Rally Shocks

    So...I am picking up a NOS 2022 Rally tomorrow. I have been looking at all of my options for aftermarket parts. I was surprised to see a complete lack of suspension options for the 2022+ Rally models. Elka shows nothing on their site. I would assume that if they were going to make shocks for the...

    Thoughts on the stock Akrapovic exhaust on the Rally???

    I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on the Akrapovic exhaust that comes stock on the 2022 and newer Rally? I did some research and was surprised to find very little on the subject. Is this an actualy performance exhaust, or just a stock exhaust with a fancy tip? I know it is fairly...

    Anyone know what size RT airbag coupler I need?

    I am disconnecting my air compressor for the airbag on my 2014 RT Limited. I have replaced it once already, and it is failing again. I am installing an Elka rear shock, but I still want to be able to manually air up the airbag. Does anyone know the size of the coupler that you would use to...

    Will Power Vision 3 work for/on a 2014 RT Ltd?

    I found the Power Vision 3 on Lamonster Garage. On their site it claims that it will work on all 1330 motors (2014 and up), but when I looked it up on DynoJet's website, it say it only works on 2016 and later RT Limited's. Does anyone know if this actually works on the 2014's?

    Anyone Powder coated the floorboards on a 2014 RT Ltd?

    I was wondering if anyone has powdercoated the chrome floorboards and mounting plate on an RT Limited? I am wanting to powdercoat my chrome rims, but I don’t think it will look right unless I do the floorboards as well.

    Thoughts on upgrading old Spyder vs purchasing new.

    Lew...I see in your signature that you mention the ECU flash. How big of a difference did that make in your performance? I have heard several people talk about it, but I have not spoken to anyone that has personally done it.

    Thoughts on upgrading old Spyder vs purchasing new.

    I agree 100%. My wife and I discuss this all of the time. Life is not about the stuff you buy. It is about the memories you make. As long as the stuff you buy is contributing to those memories in a positive way, then we can justify spending the money. She had never ridden bikes before we got...
