• 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.

    Factory Air box Mod

    Dont know about the Rykers but I've done this mod with two different two wheelers, A 2013 Triumph Trophy 1200 SE (FI, triple cylinder) and a 2000 Triumph Thunderbird 900, (carbureted, triple cylinder) and fuel mileage did drop in both, more so with the Thunderbird 900.

    Ryker Seat Survey

    Yes, the Driver Comfort Seat is plug & play. Just pull the OEM seat off by reaching underneath the foam and pull up at the tabs, the Driver Comfort Seat just plugs into the same tab holes as the original. Not sure about the installation of the Solo Comfort seat. I heard that the clamshell has to...

    New Trailer

    Just an update on the difficulty of backing out of the Erickson Wheel Chocks without spinning the rear wheel. The suggestion that Jeff made to try Economy mode made a big difference with no issue with rear wheel spin, much easier to back out of the chocks.

    Ryker Seat Survey

    Not many people know it but you're right, the stock Rally seat is a little bit thicker than the stock Ryker 900 seat. You can tell the difference if you sit on both models, you can also see it in side by side images. I like and had no problems with the stock Rally seat, for most of my rides it...

    Ryker brake pedal adjustment (in between position)

    I agree. I've noticed on the Ryker Facebook pages that a lot of riders there are first time riders. Many complain that their machines constantly throw a VSS code and goes into limp mode and its mostly caused by them riding the brake pedal. A lot of them also have the brake pedal extension and...

    what fits in the Ryker glove-box ..

    That is a lot in the frunk. I just use mine for a few personal items like reading glasses, sunglasses, keys and such. I also carry in the frunk cables for my electronics for things like GPS, phone, dash cam, helmet cam and a 6' cable for my portable air compressor. In my top case or in one of...

    New Trailer

    Yeah I'm not going to install the 3rd Erickson wheel chock on the rear wheel. I figure if I get rear wheel spin with the chocks on the front wheels only, adding that third one for the rear wheel will make it even worse. So I'm going to use heavy duty fold down D-rings for the rear wheel, they...

    New Trailer

    I agree, If we ever move, it will not be in another deed restricted community. Several things keep us here, home is paid for and we have a great location. Plus her parents are still here and need her here, and our grand kids are here. So it looks like I'm stuck here for a while longer. Good idea...

    Ryker brake pedal adjustment (in between position)

    There's no in between positions. I wear riding boots with pegs all the way forward and my feet slightly angled outward just enough to avoid the brake pedal. I too do not like the next position downward as it requires to much effort to brake.

    Those are great trailers, I like the dual storage boxes that you added. I was looking at the Aluma brand trailers here too (not sure what brand yours is), but neither of my dealers had one in stock. Good prices too if one can wait 3 months, high demand and low MFG output according to them.

    New Trailer

    I saw that one at Tractor Supply, its a good trailer. I checked them out and they have good prices too compared to others who have hiked their prices. Unfortunately they dont sell a 12', they went from 10' then jumped to 14' long. I eventually decided to go with the 12' long ATV trailer because...

    New Trailer

    I installed the Erickson Wheel Chock Kit today, loaded the Ryker and rolled into the chocks. It rolls in much easier than coming out. Lots of wheel spin of the rear tire and not enough traction to roll out of the chocks very easily. After about three tries, I stood up and pulled on the bars...

    Canada to Mexico ride

    I too set mine up for long distance trips, and that sounds like a Ryker adventure of a lifetime. Haven't heard of any trips of that magnitude being made on the Ryker as of yet. Wish I had the time to do a ride like that, but the best I can do is from central FL to your area, Robbinsville &...

    Who has or has not had problems with their Ryker??

    Thats normal on a lot of the machines as there is factory oil in places where it needs to cook off. Didn't happen on mine, but it has on plenty of others.

    My Cheap Gas Cap Cover

    The ones they were talking about was locking (with a key) so, maybe one of the several keyed locking caps thats available. They also stated that the neck is threaded on the 2021's, my 2020 is not threaded, can you verify this with yours?
