• 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 gas filler cover

    Hey all, The Ryker gas filler cover (the piece which slides out on plastic struts) has always seemed kind of... I dunno, fragile?... to me. Now that they've been in use for a while, has anybody had issues with that piece?

    Ryker Heat Issues?

    I've been wondering about the heat issues. There were a number of posts about overheating issues on one of the forums back in the spring. I can't find the thread right now but I think they were having issues in 50F conditions?!

    Great stuff! Thanks for the maps and photos. Do you have documentation to file for an Iron Butt award? ... you might be the first to use a Ryker!

    Painting Cadolitic converter underneath spider !!!

    Then of course there's the fact that in more than a few places it is ILLEGAL to modify, delete, etc. the emissions system... of which the catalytic converter is a very big part. I doubt painting the cat is an issue... but pretty sure removing it would be.

    Helmet/Riding Position question...

    I have a silver mesh textile suit. I find that (when moving) it's actually cooler than no suit, the silver color reflects a surprising amount of sun. I ride with a full face helmet. For a while I also had an open-faced helmet with a flat shield, it was actually quieter than the full-face... but...

    270 Miles on My Ryker Yesterday!

    BajaRon, sounds like a great ride. Completely jealous. When I was a kid my dad went to college in Boone and we lived in Valle Crucis NC. It was so far in the past that we actually got our mail at the Mast general store.

    Helmet/Riding Position question...

    +1 on ear plugs. If I forget them I'm always amazed at how much wind noise there is. They may or may not be legal where you live, but I never heard of anyone getting busted for it.

    How fast can it go?

    Not too concerned about top speed. If it will pull 100 mph that's plenty. BUT I want to be able to cruise comfortably with traffic and have something in reserve.

    Ryker Covers

    I have a Nelson Rigg half-cover for my motorcycle. It's silver, which is a huge advantage in the blazing Arizona sun. It rolls up pretty tight and I keep it in my desk at work; about a half-hour or so after I get to work I go out and slap the cover on, gives the engine and exhaust a chance to...

    Riding boots

    I've had a pair of Joe Rocket "Meteor" boots for several years (12?). I like them a ton, but current version is different. I think the current "Mercury" is more like what I've got. They were slightly stiff at first but they broke in and were comfortable to walk in fairly quickly. I will look at...

    Rykers Require 87 Octane - Not 92!

    OK, besides the octane issue (or non-issue), it used to be that Premium gas had a better additive package (detergents, etc.) than Regular gas. At least, that was the case a couple of decades ago when I worked in an oil refinery.
