• 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.

    Review: The Can-Am Ryker... A Great Ride!

    Curious - have you been using the Gates belts solely since your initial change from the original OEM belt?

    We're experiencing Unusual Southern Weather... with pics!

    Ya’ll remember Al Michaels quote/call during the Miracle on Ice hockey game? Well, that’s what’s going through my mind right now. A huge dump truck with a spreader on the back just lumbered down our road putting salt/sand down. It just made a second pass so it looks like they’re hitting the...

    We're experiencing Unusual Southern Weather... with pics!

    That happened to my truck yesterday sometime after I had gotten back from a run to the store. After I'd been back in the house for a couple of hours, my wife asked me what I'd put on my truck. When I looked out at the truck from the rear through our front window, it looked like a stiff rug had...

    We're experiencing Unusual Southern Weather... with pics!

    Around here, most of the main roads now seem to be clear, the neighborhood roads, not so much. They’re still covered with ice. Temps yesterday stayed below freezing, and with single digit temps last night, nothing much has changed. They’re saying the high today will be 30 degrees, so it will...

    We're experiencing Unusual Southern Weather... with pics!

    I’ve got a rarely driven 4WD capable truck that I may take out today to run to the store a little later; we’ll see. It should to be able to plow through the ice-covered snow from where its parked to make it to the still ice-covered road. We were prepped for the anticipated power outages due to...

    We're experiencing Unusual Southern Weather... with pics!

    That ain't happening, at least not anytime soon. With temps dropping into the single digits at night and staying in the high 20's/low 30's during the day, this stuff is gonna be here for a while... especially on the secondary and residential streets. They ran a plow down our road yesterday, but...

    Someone on a bike forum I frequent asked for pictures from the inmates of the unusual southern weather they're experiencing now. I posted: "8 deg out there right now with a wind chill putting it at 0. We got the snow on Sat/Sun followed by sleep and freezing rain. That white stuff out there has...

    Any Saddlebag Liner Recommendations for the Ryker Spyder Extras Bags?

    The bags I ordered from Amazon based on Sarah's suggestion came in yesterday. So far, so good. They’re a skosh smaller overall shallower in the depth than the Cee Bailey's bags I was comparing them to, but they don’t have the heavier construction bulk like the Bailey’s that take up extra room...

    Any Saddlebag Liner Recommendations for the Ryker Spyder Extras Bags?

    I dunno. I haven't received them yet. Just ordered them today.

    Any Saddlebag Liner Recommendations for the Ryker Spyder Extras Bags?

    Thanks both. With apologies to Mr. Goldfine, but I’ve initially opted for some bags from Amazon. They came in a 2-pack for a very reasonable price - $9.00. And of course, free returns if I’m not happy with them. Andy’s Zipp bags were 2 X + more expensive for a single bag, and if they needed to...

    Any Saddlebag Liner Recommendations for the Ryker Spyder Extras Bags?

    Anyone out there with the Spyder Extras luggage system (sold through Slingmods) for the Ryker found any suitable saddlebag liners you’re happy with? I have liners that work fairly well for my C10 Concours and KLR, but those liners themselves take up too much room in the Ryker’s side cases. I’ve...

    How can you open the Ryker's frunk if your battery is dead?

    Appreciate the tip. Familiar with the connector and disconnecting it would certainly work - if - security wasn't a top priority. But then again, I'm sure it's not widespread knowledge that frunk even exists for those who don't know the product. Found the connection for the latch in the...

    How can you open the Ryker's frunk if your battery is dead?

    Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere yet. The obvious way would be to get a jump from a good Samaritan, but if you're out in the middle of nowhere with no one else around, then what? I ask because I have a nice tire inflator with jump start capability that fits in the frunk with other tools...

    Ryker 900 CVT Drive Belt Replacement - Any Preference in Manufacturers?

    Mileage is creeping up there on my '22 Sport, so CVT belt replacement will be due in the next couple of months (if the snow stays away). Any preference amongst the collective for the manuf. of choice (Dynojet, BRP. ???) for a durable replacement? TIA

    My Ryker Display Discoveries might help you too!

    Admittedly, sometimes I’m not the sharpest tack in the box. I “discovered” a couple of interesting features of the Ryker’s multifunctional display other day I wasn't aware of when setting back the clock from DST. Ran into “difficulty” when I got to the selection for 12/24 hour time display. It...

    Ryker turning left Issues

    I'm curious if anyone in that FB group contacted BRP about reimbursement for their cost (partial or otherwise) if they did the work themselves? Might be difficult to find the correct door to knock on. Have nothing to lose, so I might as well start knocking.

    Educate me on the reliability of the Rykers

    I guess I’ve been fortunate with my two-wheelers. None of them have left me stranded due to mechanical issues. My two main bikes both have relatively high miles on them (’95 Concours 208K, ’02 KLR 60K) and I wouldn’t hesitate to jump on either one of them today and head off on a long-distance...
