• 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 Issue Alert!

    @BajaRon : agreed on the assembly process. In one of my replies on the YouTube threads, I put it this way: "... This is a first-year run of a new model, so there are bound to be little issues for the manufacturer to sort out. I don't hold that against them or the product... excellence is a...

    Ryker Issue Alert!

    Sounds good to me. However, I don't understand your "perceived 'Issue'" comment where the gearbox oil issue is concerned. This has been confirmed in my case (not dry, but 30% under-filled) and a few others from what I understand. Or am I misinterpreting your reply? I realize that there have...

    Checking final drive

    My Ryker is headed to the dealer tomorrow morning for a full re-inspection. I plan to loiter around and see if I can get into the service area to look over their shoulder (for several reasons). I will be insisting that they drain and refill the gearbox, and I want an inspection of the rear...

    Checking final drive

    @Leadfoot : how many miles do you have on the clock? I'll second that. My Ryker is still very fresh and hasn't been broken-in yet (not even close), so it takes significant pedal effort to stop. The pads feel like wooden blocks, but that is normal until the rotors and pads "bed-in". One way...

    Ryker Issue Alert!

    Excellent observation, thx for the info! I have never owned a sled or anything with a BRP/Rotax CVT powertrain. The gear whine that I hear from my Ryker seems to be congruent to rear wheel speed and ceases when coming to a full stop (almost a cogging sound below 5 mph). That could be due to...

    Ryker Issue Alert!

    Hehe... I was typing previous reply when you posted this one. I haven't been riding it much because of the issues. Houston rush-hour traffic isn't the time or place to break in a new bike that wags its tail like a happy puppy... Awww, you're so cute, wanna play? ;-) So, I'm headed to my...

    Ryker Issue Alert!

    Thanks for the wishes and for the diagram! In lieu of a service manual (not yet available), any and all tech diagrams are welcomed. I definitely plan to dump the gearbox and refill with a single grade of oil. I live in a hot climate, so I'll opt for the 75W-140 variety for the higher film...

    Ryker Issue Alert!

    Yes, the gearbox noise is significantly reduced. It still clunks when engaging reverse sometimes, but it's not as noticeable as it was before the top-off. I suspect that the oil already in the gearbox is the thinner variety and this thicker oil is dampening the metal-to-metal engagement due to...

    Ryker Issue Alert!

    Howdy all! The weather was better in Houston today, so I stopped by a different Can-Am dealer to purchase a quart of XPS 75W-140 gear oil to finish out the gearbox issue. As I suspected, it was very low. I dumped about 145 mL or so into it before I got to the threads at the check hole. It...

    Ryker Issue Alert!

    Good evening, all! I didn't mean to stir the pot here, but I got caught out on this issue regarding the low oil service bulletin. That is my video on YouTube to document the case for a potential warranty claim, should one arise in the future. I guess this isn't the best intro post to a forum...
