• 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.

    taking airbox off on RS

    The air box on my 2012 RS is 2 pieces. An upper piece and a lower Piece. The two are held together by some metal spring clips.....5-6 in total I think. Remove the clips and the top portion slides out (its a bit of work to slide it out). Then you can access some screws that holds the bottom...

    Why Did YOU Choose Ryker Over Spyder?

    My longest ride at one time is about 450 miles. No problem. My typical ride is between 150-250 miles I'd hop on it and ride across country tomorrow and not think twice about it.

    Why Did YOU Choose Ryker Over Spyder?

    I still have my Spyder RS and bought a Ryker Rally. I have ZERO interest in an F3 or RT. I love both the RS and the Ryker but at the end of the day the Ryker is just more fun to ride. Simple as that.

    Off road with a Ryker

    Buy the accessory Linq plate and then by the "holders" Linq accessories from the ATV, ski-doo, Ryker, etc. https://can-am.brp.com/on-road/shop/ryker-accessories/linq-accessories.html https://www.ski-doo.com/shop/Accessories/storage_racks/linq_system.html...

    Longest ride on your Ryker?

    On the Ryker you can now buy a LinQ plate which means there are A LOT of BRP accessories that will "Linq" onto the Ryker. There are specific Ryker LinQ accessories but there are also LinQ accessories from the ATV and Snowmobiles that will fit on the Ryker. You could mount coolers, large...

    Three motors for ryker. Wonder if the other two could work

    There is also the 900 ACE Turbo. They are basically all the same motor with minor tweaks (mainly electronic I believe).

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    Yeah, I was afraid the stock seat would be worthless for reworking :( Thanks for the info

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    Did you ask for the seat to be 1 1/2" taller or that's just what happened? I'd like to add about 2" to mine. Did you start with the stock Ryker seat or the comfort Ryker seat? I assume you had to send your old seat to them?

    Thoughts from Dual Model Owners: Ryker and.....

    Well, its a new model but mechanically its a parts bin machine if you ask me. The engine, drive train, etc all exist on other BRP products (have for years) so the clean sheet is the chassis and styling in my opinion. I think the engineering is on par with the other Spyder models. Maybe more...

    Thoughts from Dual Model Owners: Ryker and.....

    Ryker Shaft Drive 1. Reliability? So far after 4000 miles its been fine. 2. Smoothness or Blacklash? Mine does clunk a bit on deacceleration but doesn't seem to be a big deal. 3. How does it compare to your belt drive Spyder? For me the drive shaft is smoother (except occasional clunk). I do...

    from 350hp stage 3 jetski to 105hp Spyder...

    I also raced sleds....sno X...... back in the day. I have a 2012 RS that I really like but the Ryker is more fun and its more fun cause its more like a sled. The engine, CVT....it all comes right off the snowmobile. If you like sleds you'll love the Ryker. I just wish the seat was a couple...

    A New Engine For The Skidoo Line Up From BRP

    I find it interesting that every time someone posts a thread that involves an engine with more power the majority of comments are either......"speed kills" related or "can't put the power to the ground" related. I just don't understand why people would complain about more power. The rider is...

    Turbo 900 ACE swap on a ryker

    I don't think the belt or CVT would be an issue with the turbo. The Ryker Belt is the same one used on the 850 Ski-Doo 2 stroke which is rated for about 160HP and also used on the 900 Ace Turbo Ski-Doo sleds. CVT is the same as well, except maybe weight size or spring rate, but those...

    Turbo 900 ACE swap on a ryker

    My guess is yes. The only difference is some internals. The exterior envelope of the 900 ace and 900 ace turbo is the same......except for the turbo of course. My guess is the airbox area on the Ryker would require some reworking.

    Ryker Hot CVT Belt

    I can't speak for the Ryker. I own one but have not had belt issues. I can say that Ski-Doo has had belt issues on their sleds on and off over the years. Used to be the manufactures would put a steel guard around the primary and secondary clutch so if a belt blew it would hit the steel guard...

    Turbo 900 ACE swap on a ryker

    I'd look for a wrecked 900 Ace Turbo sled. Buy it and swap the motor and required electronics into the Ryker.

    Anyone else going to miss Famous Dave's in Scarborough (Maine) ?

    I liked their cornbread but the rest ehhhhhh. It was OK.

    The Ultimate Spyder / Ryker Dealer

    In my opinion a successful dealership for any product is successful because of great customer service. My dealer doesn't stock a lot of parts (they have the common stuff), they don't have the cheapest hourly service rate and they will negotiate only slightly on pricing for new unit sales...

    Can you say how much the Russel seat was for the Ryker? You have a picture?

    Next Evolution of the Ryker

    Nice! You should start a thread about it so we can follow along. If things go well we might see a bunch of people doing it rather than waiting for BRP. I just can't believe they wouldn't do it. Its easy money for them.
