• 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.

    Shad Can Am bags installed

    Got my new 2019 F3 three weeks ago, and ordered the Shad saddlebags and the F3 brackets from BRP Canada. Brackets arrived yesterday, and another box today, which was to be the bags, but was a Ryker part instead. Next thing, the instructions were different that what my machine looks like, so...

    Fans running a lot??

    After a 30 mile ride on the highway yesterday, my 5 day old Spyder F3 had the fan running as the rig was idling outside my garage. Outside temperature was 12 C (about 55 F), so outside heat not an issue. I assume this is a normal occurrence. Rick

    Made a deal today - looking for lighting ideas?

    Small steps today, just got the bike yesterday. I searched and found the accessory plug on the right cowl. I took the plastic below it off, so I could cut a tie wrap and move the accessory wiring upward so it is accessible from the small panel. I have not ordered any lighting, but wanted to...

    Made a deal today - looking for lighting ideas?

    So I can be seen by other motorists. I have a hi-vis jacket, so additional lighting.

    Made a deal today - looking for lighting ideas?

    Hello: I previously posted on the Ryker forum about my upcoming ankle replacement surgery. I got lots of good tips from you guys. Today, I made a deal on a new, left over 2019 F3 base model. I want to do something about increasing the lighting, but not to mess with the CANBUS system, and...

    Upcoming left ankle replacement - will a Ryker work for me?

    Made a deal today on a new, left over 2019 F3 base model, SE6. Some promotions from Can-Am sweetened the deal. Picking up tomorrow. I want to find some lights to improve ‘being seen’, and maybe for night visibility. I already have a high-vis motorcycle jacket. Looking forward to all the...

    Upcoming left ankle replacement - will a Ryker work for me?

    Thanks Ann. I like the idea of the spacer - my left leg is an inch shorter than my right due to the surgeries on my tib/fib. Maybe they can install an inch taller ‘spacer’ :). I had to get lifts installed in select shoe heels to compensate.

    Upcoming left ankle replacement - will a Ryker work for me?

    Thanks Jerry - Yes, I don’t want a fusion, as I would walk with a limp. I broke my tibia and fibula in 1995, and had metal plates and screws. Within a few months, had cellulitis, and doctor removed all hardware. He said at my second surgery, in 2012, that his cleaning of the ankle joint...

    Upcoming left ankle replacement - will a Ryker work for me?

    Hello: I broke my lower left leg a number of years ago, had several surgeries, but now at the point where the doctor indicates replacement or fusion. I am thinking that a Ryker or semi-automatic Spyder where the left foot rests on a peg/floorboard would work for me. I am not sure that after...

    Being seen

    Thanks for the great tips. Going for another demo ride today. If I buy, I can see an improved horn, improved lighting for front and rear (flashing brake light included). Rick

    Being seen

    Hello: I went for a demo test on a Ryker. I wear a hi-vis jacket; my helmet is white/red/black. I was heading down the road, slowly, toward a stop sign. On my right, entering the road from a fuel station, was a large dump truck. As I do with my two-wheeler, I am always looking for hazards...

    Anybody have to repair a flat tire on the road?

    Thanks Ron I have been using Slime in my mountain bike tires when riding in the desert in Arizona. It works well, but seems to need a ‘top-up’ every year. I had a flat this past winter, that Slime did not seal. I added more product and no more flats. I have tube type tires so no issue with...

    Shad saddlebag on a Rally?

    Thanks Elwood. I live in British Columbia, Canada, but have a winter residence near you in AZ. Maybe a ride next season if all works out. Rick

    Shad saddlebag on a Rally?

    I found a demo 2019 Rally with about 1200 km on it. It has one Shad hard saddlebag on it. As the Rally does not have a rear fender, anyone have a Shad on their Rally and any issues with mud etc. affecting the saddlebag? Thanks Rick

    Good deal?

    The Ryker in PA is an exceptional deal. I am in Arizona, so a long distance. I am speaking of the Ryker 900 with no options. I was advised that Can-Am US will not offer warranty service in Canada, and vice versa. As such, buying a new unit would have warranty service only while I am in the...

    Good deal?

    I am a Canadian spending the winter in the US. I found a used 2019 Ryker 900 at a Can-Am dealer, with 400 miles on it. The previous owners traded it for a 2 wheel motorcycle. The dealer believes there is no warranty coverage. If there is, it is not valid in Canada. Anyhow, if I can get it...

    2015 F3-S 3000 miles

    Original price they offered was about $15 k US all in. I found one in Canada, where I live for $16 k Cdn, but very low miles, and being sold by a non Can Am dealer. To buy this now, would have to travel 1700 miles each way in possible winter conditions. Dealership here in AZ also giving me...

    Hello: I am wintering in AZ and found a 2015 F3 -S at a dealership for $13,800 US out the door, including dealer titling, registration/license and sales tax. Do you think this is a good price? Still had the original owners manual/DVD, and has an added connection for a battery maintainer, and...
