• 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 Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    Lets try this. I added the ruler for scale. It currently has 6.5 inches of clearance under the radiator. Stock was 4.5 inch.

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    Unfortunately they did not have any documentation or instruction manual. The Amazon site does provide some specifications such as spring wire diameter, capacity, and options.

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    . I tried a different design without the air reservoir. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L4Q1RCM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It did include 3 sets of inserts for the eyes in different sizes including 10 mm. Because the front end is now higher relative to the seat I...

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    I changed out the KYB front shocks on my Rally model with a set of 400 mm replacements as recommended by chris56. So far I am happier with nearly 7" of clearance under the radiator and have not identified any downside. Time will tell regarding durability.

    Elka vs Fox Can Am Shocks

    How much ground clearance do you have under the radiator with the M2's. I know when you came to visit on the way back from getting them installed you had more clearance than my Rally but what is the actual measurement with the M2's?

    HowTo: Maintenance photos

    Afternoon Doc, I used your instructions for a gear box lube change today. Everything was straight forward once I found an 8" extension and 1/4" drive flex joint to remove the gear lube level screw; side panel and drive shaft limit degree of rotation. As you reported there was abundant black...

    Ryker Cerakote ceramic coating on stock muffler

    Interesting, I feel most of the heat on my right ankle. I wonder how much heat on the left side comes from the forward/reverse transmission.

    OK, after listening to both youtubes mine does not do that.

    Ryker 900

    If you buy one just expect to have to answer a lot of questions from curious onlookers when you stop.

    LinQ SR 21 Top Bag Or Sport Top Bag

    On the Rally model the Max Mount is standard with an inner liner (almost like a high mount fender) that stops most of the splash

    Parking brake lock

    I have found that the placement (forward to back) of the air filter cover makes a great deal of difference in ease of fastening the clips. Try looking at the hook piece from above and sliding it back and forth until it settles then hook the clips.

    Ryker 900 Top Cases

    I bought one of these adapters for the Max Mount from a vendor in Canada. https://spyderzone.ca/en/product/linq-attachement-plate-for-ryker-top-case/. It is very sturdy. You drill the adapter for the base that comes with any of the aftermarket top cases and bolt it. Then the whole base and...

    New Sway Bar Links

    On the rear I went to 3/8"; again to stop bottoming out. I have a top case and Shad side bag and stuff them both full of groceries on my shopping trips. Initially I thought my rough ride was due to the suspension being set too stiff. Now that I have prevented the shocks bottoming out my ride...

    New Sway Bar Links

    I did the same on my Rally but found that my front shocks did better at 3.5 setting. At a 2 setting I was getting some bottoming out of the shocks and wheel hop. I weight 175 suited up

    Classic Solo Saddle

    I still have the Corbin seat from the wrecked BMW shown in my avitar. The seat was still fine; the rest of the bike not so much. Keep the leather treated with Lexol or something similar and it will outlast the bike.

    Givi top box installation

    I was able to salvage and reuse the top case from my wrecked BMW shown in my avatar. I bolted it directly to this mounting plate for the Max Mount that I found on a Canadian site. https://spyderzone.ca/en/product/linq-attachement-plate-for-ryker-top-case/. After the exchange rate the price...

    Contemplating modifying primary clutch

    Yeah Doc, Im buying what you are selling. I would be willing to give up some low range power for reduced RPM at cruising speed. I can't use all the power my Rally makes off the line without burning off tire tread. I would also like to get better fuel mileage than my Colorado diesel truck gets...

    Tires that will fit the RYKER

    The front tire size is the same for the Ace and Rally but the Rally tire has a more aggressive tread pattern; like a knobby.

    Ryker rear shock adjustment on 600 ACE

    I found the factory front and rear settings on my Rally to be too soft; and I only weigh 175 fully suited. Increasing pre-load on both ends improved my riding experience significantly. I no longer feel like one of my kidneys is going to be forcibly ejected out through my bum.
