• 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.

    Rally Rear Spring Adjustment limit for 2UP - why so much preload range left?

    I had to replace the rear shock on the rally with Elka stage 4 shock. It eliminated the issue with bottoming out. I have only bottomed out occasionally since but I packed too heavy. I now weigh my bags before packing them. Chris, the SHOCK ABSORBER TRAVEL LIMITER sounds like a good idea!

    So, who said a Ryker can't be a touring machine?

    Yes I have turned my Rally into a touring machine. No floor boards yet. And for cold weather I have heated gloves that are hardwired to the bike - VERY toasty on chilly days. Enjoy

    Loud whining sound at idle after a fairly short run

    I spoke with a dealer today. Said it’s a known issue. Currently no fix but can am supposedly working on a prototype/new fuel pump. No word yet on how can am will address this- probably through recalls but it is apparently in process by can am. So far they have not heard of any failures yet...

    Fuel Pump issue on Ryker

    Hi guys. I’ve noticed my fuel pump makes a high pitched whining noise at half tank or less and if it’s hot out after riding for awhile. It is not the cooling fan as that is a different pitch and I know when that comes on. I’ve heard some say it’s a known issue on some models but I have not...

    Long distance touring on a Ryker

    Yeah I may have to scale back the distance. Interestingly I get fatigued faster than my wife. She has been fine on it for about 2 hours at a time. I may add padding to the air hawk seats and add floor boards. If I do the trip - won’t be this summer but I have a few more test trips to so...

    Long distance touring on a Ryker

    I’ve been wanting to take a long distance trip on the Ryker. My wife and I took a 400-500 mile round trip recently broken With longest day around 200 miles. The Ryker did great! I’m wanting to take a 2400 round trip tour . I’m thinking we may be able to do 1200 miles in 2 days, then stay and...

    Anybody have to repair a flat tire on the road?

    Just wondering if anyone has needed to change a flat on their Ryker while on the road?

    Another windshield question

    I have the madstad 24”. I love it! I could have gotten a shorter one but it greatly reduces wind noise and eliminated all head buffeting - riding down the highway is actually pleasant now! I’m 5’8”. Btw. I look through the windshield and it’s not a problem

    Anybody buy Slingmods Ryker 3-bag system? Good or bad? Opinions?

    Hi Chris56, what do you think the chances are of the 3 bag system working with upgraded rear shock? I’m waiting for custom made Elka shock. Otherwise if that does not work I will have to sell the 3 bag system and just go with side shad bag and tank bag. It’s a bit frustrating

    Anybody buy Slingmods Ryker 3-bag system? Good or bad? Opinions?

    Well consider added weight- I have to change our rear suspension on the rally when carrying a passenger now since adding the system and we are only 325lbs combined. Solo is fine but 2-up we bottom out now.

    Which rear shock to buy for Ryker rally?

    I may have one for ya soon. So I called a Elka shock/suspension, apparently it’s pretty common with the Ryker... once you add the passenger seat it changes the mechanics and the Ryker shocks cannot handle the load usually- even the upgrared rally shocks. Elka will custom fabricate shocks for...

    Which rear shock to buy for Ryker rally?

    No I don’t think so- my wife and I combined weight is around 325lbs. My wife is a small lady. Plus maybe an extra 50lbs for the system. No luggage on it. I’m thinking because the rear is extended that it changes the fulcrum - it’s a longer lever system and the weight is more at the end of...
