• 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.

    Thoughts on upgrading from 2021 Rally to 2023 Rally - worth it?

    It all depends on where you ride it. The 2022+ Rally's are far better gravel road machines than the previous editions out of the box. If you only/mainly do sealed roads, then the '21 would be my choice... although I would fit Cruise Control to it.

    My Ryker Rally Adventure Thread

    Cheers Sarah... so many recalls!! Hadn't heard of that one, will check it out EDIT: Yip it's in the recall, requires adjustment plus a new spring. I will get on to my dealer next week. Hopefully they will agree to just send me the spring as they are 3hrs away. Cheers for that, you would think...

    My Ryker Rally Adventure Thread

    Had a problem today where the cruise control would not engage. When I got home, I noticed the rear brake light wouldn't turn off. I had to do an engine restart and then depress the brake pedal hard before it would turn off. The brakes weren't on, so I'm wondering if there is a wonky sensor...

    Anyone here like planning their own routes?

    Any mapping software requires you to input waypoints if you want to take a specific route. Other than options like avoid highways or paved roads (which still allow fairly broad route choices) you have to spend some time waypointing if you want a personalised route. I use Garmin Basecamp for...

    My Ryker Rally Adventure Thread

    The top pivot's but the the whole rest can be rotated left or right. for the pillion. I made a couple of flat alloy bars to fit it to the underside of the seat as the Harley bracket isn't quite wide enough. I also bent the support bar to get the backrest angled to my liking Here's a link to...

    My Ryker Rally Adventure Thread

    Modified a Harley backrest to fit the drivers' seat on my Rally. Works really well and 1/4 of the cost of the OEM rest. Pick of the underside showing the mount set up.

    Ryker wiring diagrams - Anyone have access to them?

    I have both, only the Service manual includes full wiring diagrams.

    PedalBox and Pedal Commander - what do they do and how do they work?

    Fuel consumption is already fairly lame on my Rally so I'll pass on fitting a gadget that makes it drink even quicker. Then again...maybe in a few years though, once I've learnt to ride it round corners properly.....

    Had to wear Gloves for Can Am riding course - Do you wear gloves? Why? Or why not?

    Story time: The case of the missing Finger Tip! I don't remember anything about the crash, but I'd hit some livestock that had wandered out onto the road on a blind corner. I woke up in intensive care three days later with, amongst a whole list of injuries, the tip of my right index finger cut...

    Another Dealer Drops the Spyder Line

    Can Am have been aggressive in demanding their dealer's stock a level of new bikes on the shop floor. A lot of their dealers don't have the floor space or cash reserves to do that, so they lose their on-road license. They can still sell and maintain their off-road lines, but get shut out of...

    Has anyone seen or have info on this electric Ryker shifter mod?

    I would have been happy to leave things standard but not having a left leg meant I had to lean down to activate it with my hand which got old fairly quickly, especially as my back isn't that flash either so for me it was a case of needs must. It is a bit quirky but I can live with it.

    Has anyone seen or have info on this electric Ryker shifter mod?

    Spotted the video in question a while back. Looked a bit slow to activate for my liking so I went with a 'gawky jockey shifter' which works fine. The electric mod might need a failsafe switch to prevent accidental activation though....good luck with your investigations, would be great to see...

    Review: The Can-Am Ryker... A Great Ride!

    Comparing a 3 wheeler to a Z900 for the cornering and shifting experience has little, if any, relevance to either a Spyder or the Ryker; unless you like changing gears for the sake of it. :riding:

    Curious if anyone with Std Ryker has tried it on Gravel FS Roads?

    I've found myself on a couple of rough roads with some 6 - 12inch rain ruts. I managed to get through them ok just nursing it along. The ground clearance is fine for the gravel roads I ride, it isn't made for enduro tracks....and neither am I any longer. Traction has only become a problem on...

    Had to wear Gloves for Can Am riding course - Do you wear gloves? Why? Or why not?

    If you're not going to crash, you don't need to wear any protective clothing, hell, you don't even need crash insurance......

    What do you think of the 'New for 2025 - Spyder Canyon'?

    Limited development budgets will do that to a project. The problem as I see it now is that if the Canyon sells well, it's unlikely to get a shaft drive; and if it doesn't, they'll probably can it.
