Anyone touring on a Ryker?? Experiences?

[Bfromla]

Don’t have a Ryker but if did would definitely be doing something like this:

Additional notes:
* Standard rain gear pack should include a full change of clothes too, just in case.
** AMA for roadside assistance, plus a dedicated & ready credit card.

I've been looking at the Can-Am Ryker 3 Piece Saddlebag & Top Case Luggage System by Spyder Extras.
It provides 93L of capacity and they can all be locked. Each piece can also be easily removed to take into the hotel.

Do you have any specific recommendations?

That'd be a super nice outfit, Gael. Don't think you can do any better.

I have a 2024 RT Limited, rode about 500 miles in one trip, and got tired of stopping for fuel. The ride was great with my driver's backrest. I couldn't imagine stopping for fuel for several thousands of miles.

I didn't track my mileage to any great extent. High speeds and head winds are killers, I got 27 mpg in S. Dakota. But much, much better on slower roads, I got 192 miles on a tank up in BC.

Yep, factory Kendas on the front, and a 205/45R16 on the rear. The tires did great as far as I'm concerned. I'm so glad I changed out the rear, the factory Kenda felt pitifully flimsy compared to the Hankook. Now that I've been there, I'd never pit the rear Kenda against the conditions I encountered on the Dempster Highway.

Over the years we've pared down our tool kit and pretty well figured out the essentials, so I didn't tote any dead weight. I kept wishing I had a compact scissor jack in the duffle, just in case. I may try to hunt something up.

Thanks for sharing your ride experiences. I have been pondering the idea of a jack solution. I have settled on a small “air wedge” inflatable bladder. The one I selected has a 500 pound capacity and a 3” lift. Two only weigh a few ounces, combine for a six inch lift, and deflate flat. I figure I can find rocks or wood to fill the gap between frame and ground. Once I get the wheel off the ground I could brace it with more rocks or wood. In a pinch, I could pull a wheel and/or repair a flat. Not perfect, but a low cost, compact solution.
