• 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.

    Did anyone add that steering stabilizer/dampener to their Ryker?

    I just installed the Ryker Mods one on my 2019 rally. I have only been riding it the past 2 days on twisties and then on highway. I have noticed an appreciable difference in stability on bumpy and uneven roads - it does not do the squirrelly thing nearly as much. However......there is a...

    Your thoughts on F3 maintenance, costs, and reliability vs Ryker?

    I had already replaced the CVT belt on the Ryker. Im assuming the Spyders need to have the drive belt replaced at certain intervals as well?

    Your thoughts on F3 maintenance, costs, and reliability vs Ryker?

    I currently own a 2019 Ryker Rally and while I have had no issues with the machine and love riding it - I am thinking about trading it in for an F3 Limited. I absolutely love the Ryker on the back roads but not so much on highways, though it will do highways. And my wife rides with me often...

    Maybe I just need to loose weight ;)

    suspension coil spacers for Ryker?

    Yeah I saw those, but it seemed to me that the spring would bend around those knuckles over time. I saw the round plastic ones that wrap around the coil for the car but I cannot find anything that is small enough for the elka shock - probably around the same size is Fox shocks or the OEM one...

    suspension coil spacers for Ryker?

    I ride 2-up a lot. I place Elka stage 4 in the rear so I would not bottom out. Much of the time Im ok, but still have been bottoming out here and there. I adjusted preload as much as I could and I REALLY REALLY REALLY do not want to take off the suspension to replace or add any spacers. I...

    How to tow a Ryker?

    Wow, I checked out the Stinger Trailer website. Very impressive. I like the folding idea as I live in a townhome. Thanks for the info!

    How to tow a Ryker?

    I’m wondering what I would need to tow the Ryker. I don’t have a big truck - a Jeep Renegade - only 4 cylinder engine but 2000 lb towing capacity. I don't have a receiver hookup and am not really sure where to start, or if it’s even feasible with that car. And then what sort of trailer? I’m...

    Ryker- is it big enough

    I have 2019 Rally and ride 2-up a lot with my wife. We have taken some overnight trips snd highway driving. For a 100-200 miles I think it’s fine but I have to get off every hour anyway.. my shoulders start to bother me but that’s not the Rykers fault. I have a big madstad windshield, airhawk...

    Who has or has not had problems with their Ryker??

    2019 Ryker Rally with around 12,000 miles. No real issues other than master brake cylinder gasket needed to be replaced. No charge from dealer. Regular maintenance only and just replaced CVT belt. VERY fun machine. So far no problems!

    Luggage space on 2012 RT?

    appreciate the comments. Got duffel bags and compression cubes. I think I have a good idea what I can pack at this point ;) REgarding exploring Arizona on the Spyder - I recall from previous visits some of the places I wanted to see required some dirt roads - do I need to stay on paved roads...

    Luggage space on 2012 RT?

    Hi all, My wife and I are renting a 2012 spyder RT in Arizona in a few weeks and wanna know how to pack. The issue is we are going right from the airport to get the Spyder - so we know a suitcase won’t work. We are also bringing our own helmets. I was thinking of 2 small backpacks fir the...

    Who has or has not had problems with their Ryker??

    Mine is a 2019. I have over 8,000 miles on it. Quite a few mods but no inherent problems . I did have the wheel nuts replaced as a recall. The fuel pump whines when it is hot out and I’ve heard some dealers will replace but I have not heard of any failing. I thought I had a brake line leak...

    The Killing Zone

    I’m going to bring up a touchy subject but important one... I see lots of videos of people on their Rykers cutting corners on blind turns, riding too close without a space cushion or riding next to other vehicles on multi-lane highways . I’m guilty of these as well from time to time if I let my...

    with the Ryker on curvy roads - 2up and full loaded

    Crossing center line where you have good line of sight not an issue - but there are a lot of blind curves I see here. Maybe it looks different while in the bike than the video - but as far as I’m concerned crossing that line on a blind curve is playing Russian roulette. Not worth the risk...

    The Ryker trip-report!

    I have a madstad 28” . I’m 5’9” 32” inseam. Works well for me - but I prefer looking through the windshield unless it’s just back roads. Got it on sling mods.

    The Ryker trip-report!

    My wife and I took the Ryker for a weekend getaway. About 110 miles one way. Rickets Glen, PA. I had just installed the fender LED running lights a few days before. They worked great but I must not have tightened the wires down well enough. The lights shorted out on the way and my USB port...

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    I took “Bentley” out to Amish country 😉

    Floorboards - any experience with A/mkt boards for Rykers?

    I have the black dymond from Lamonster with the highway pegs. I love them! Gives me some room to stretch out. Also with a driver seat back rest- perfect combo for longer trips

    How Many Miles on your Ryker so far?

    I just went over the 6,000 mile mark on my Rally. I have enjoyed every mile! Since these are still relatively new machines, Im curious how many miles on your odometers? Hoping to get many more miles out the Rally! Regards, Snayl135
