• 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.

    Ryker Rally off-road vs my Spyder F3

    The only real difference I see......The Ryker has a shaft drive which wouldn't be bothered by dirt, rocks, etc. The F3 has a belt drive. That said I take my Spyder RS (with a belt drive) on dirt roads all the time. Have for 24K miles and never had an issue. Neither Ryker or Spyder is an...

    Another wheel fell off...

    I'm no expert but I work in the engineering field. With the quality of simulation software engineers are able to test all sorts of parts/designs/ideas for various types of failures before the actual part is ever built. The software is expensive and BRP is running the Dassault Systems suite of...

    2020 Rally Ryker went into Limp Mode

    BRP does have factory training for service techs. One of the requirements for moving up the dealer status level (silver, gold, platinum, etc) is having factory trained techs. I believe the dealer has to pay to send techs to training. At least that's the way it works with BRP's snowmobile...

    Unhappy with dealers service for no start

    I was thinking the fuse was the wear item, not the whole box. They just cleaned the box.......sounds like this is a case of a dealer gouging the customer. I'd run from this dealer for sure.

    Unhappy with dealers service for no start

    Just as a generalization. Most of the time warranty doesn't cover "wear" items and a fuse would be considered a wear item I think. For $259 though they must have replaced the whole box? I bet humidity and salt air is more a factor in the corrosion than rain? I live in VT and took a week long...

    For those of you who want to ride all year...

    Why not just buy the product the Ryker was built from

    BEST Warranty

    I'll be buying a 36 month BEST warranty before my year is up. Dealer quoted me just under $700. I'm typically not an extended warranty person except for when it comes to powersports toys :)

    Ryker canister-ectomy???

    I agree that we should all have the same info (customers and dealers). I believe BRP has not given customers info about the pump (or anything really, wheel nuts, brake leak, coolant leak, etc) because...Only some customers have the issue. If a customer doesn't have an issue there is no...

    Ryker canister-ectomy???

    From what I've been told it has something to do with the fuel pump vent design. I've also been told that BRP now has a redesigned pump that solves the issue. I have no idea when those pumps might be available or if its even true. Once temps dropped I have had no fuel pump whine at all. When...

    Yellow foam on dipstick

    I'd probably just ride the bike to 6000 miles and let the dealer change it :)

    Living below your means

    I would say I (we...the family) live under our means but that doesn't stop us from buying or doing "stuff" we want. If we can afford it then its fair game. We work too hard not to live the way we want and in the end you can't take it with you so might as well spend and enjoy while you're here...

    Ryker 600 shuts off while idle

    The bike is programmed to automatically shut off after a certain idle time.

    Oil change 12 months, YES or NO

    I change oil by mileage only. I ignore the yearly recommendation. I don't feel yearly changes are required.

    2020 Ryker Rally: Suspension Adjustment - How? Where? What with? What settings?

    Sure, you can set preload anywhere you want. More preload is a stiffer suspension, less preload is a softer suspension. I'm actually going to soften mine up a bit from the stock setting. The rear rides decent but if you are on rough pavement the rear can be jarring. Little less preload...

    RECALL - ALL 2019 and 2020 Ryker Models - Wheel Nuts

    I'd ride it if it were me. We only have maybe another couple weeks of riding season left. I'm going to keep riding mine.

    CVT belt life

    The belt does have "teeth" on it but (although not required) they are there for heat dissipation not to engage a gear. The belt works by the edges being squeezed between the clutch faces. As the belt wears it losses width and at some point is not wide enough to do its job (grip the clutch faces).

    RECALL - ALL 2019 and 2020 Ryker Models - Wheel Nuts

    My guess is the overall look, fit will be the same and the same size tool will still be used.
