• 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.

    Gear lever

    A new lever is whats needed, but I’m pretty sure this accessory is simply a handle. Doesn’t address the problem.

    Spyder mods after a back injury

    I have chronic back and knee pain from degenerative arthritus Make sure you have the best suspension available for your ride, and that it is set up properly. Consider handlebars with some pullback. I saw that there is a vendor who makes very long floorboards. You mentioned riding position...

    Gear lever

    Too fat here, have to put parking brake on and lean pretty far off bike to reach it with my hand. Pretty comical when making a 9 point turn. Will need to rotate lever closer. Does anyone know if the aftermarket lever is actually longer, or if its just a grip change?

    Service/Shop Manuals

    Guess I’ll give them a try. I think you are right, I paid a lot more than $25 for my HD manuals from the dealer. Wish they could download direct to ipad, I can download to laptop but my desktop has all of my itunes data and isn’t setup at the moment.

    Rykers Require 87 Octane - Not 92!

    You are right, somehow I missed that.

    Service/Shop Manuals

    I’ve seen a thread that indicates a download of the service manual is available for purchase. Have any of the Ryker owners purchased this and does the download include wiring diagrams and good exploded drawings? I plan to have emergency service and most scheduled maintenance done by the dealer...

    Rykers Require 87 Octane - Not 92!

    I agree that the operators manual could be worded better. My other bikes manual clearly states to use premium gas rated 93. I would bet the engineers gave accurate information to marketing and marketing either didn’t understand it or added spin they thought would sell. Marketing info also...

    Rykers Require 87 Octane - Not 92!

    I have to disagree. Thats a marketing piece, not a recommendation. The operators manual says to use 87 octane.

    Has anyone installed this homelink garage door remote?

    Its probably a very very low risk that someone would both steal your Spyder, then ride that same stolen Spyder to your home to rob you. How would they even know what one more button on the Spyder is used for? Just label it “Lojack” and they’ll never touch it. Kidding aside, on my other bike I...

    Ryding prescription sun glasses

    I have no line bifocals with transition lenses. They work fine except when in a tunnel, at which time they can be way too dark if already transitioned. Not all transition lenses will transition through all windshields etc. My older lenses did not but my newer lenses were much more expensive and...

    GPS Race Timer

    1/4 mile in 18.1 seconds is 49.1 mph average, probably within the error margin if the app is showing 44 mph.

    Any options to add Hazard lights to North American Rykers?

    Maybe none. I’ve heard its not a good idea to hang things on a system using Can Bus unless made for it. None of my prior bikes had Can Bus but the Custom Dynamics unit is for incandescent or LED, not sure if it would introduce noise from the included flasher.

    Miles to empty accuracy

    Probably not very accurate as how hard you ride it is going to significantly affect your mpg. Fill the tank full, then see how much gas you use vs miles driven between fill ups. Do that a dozen times and you’ll have a pretty fair idea how far you can go on a tank given how you ride.

    Ryker troubles

    Probably more smog in the naked air in Ca than measureable at the Ryker tailpipe.

    Any options to add Hazard lights to North American Rykers?

    Yes but thats beyond adding OEM switch to a circuit designed to accept it.

    Freight and Handling charges!

    Bought my Rally yesterday for $10,700. No shipment or set up fees or installation fees, just KY sales tax and a $98 documentation fee. $12,661 out the door with adjustable windscreen, custom blue panels, comfort seat, sway bar, bike cover, tank bag and handguard LEDs (accessories were each...

    Any options to add Hazard lights to North American Rykers?

    I wonder is simply adding the switch would be sufficient or if there are programming or other splices needed. If you do make this mod please update us with the results. That is a mod I would consider doing.

    Rally Rear Fender - Owners Thoughts? Experience so far?

    Old thread I know, but here’s a potential option depending upon how dirty things are. I have at times used a 2 gallon pump sprayer to rinse my other bike, filled at the kitchen faucet. Especially where I was cleaning painted services or windshields. These are available at home centers for $15-50...
