How I fixed my Twitchy brakes!

Hi everybody, you probably all know this, but I have found that in the process of diagnosing a wobble on acceleration in my Ryker. I actually realized not only was that caused by death grip but darty and twitchy brakes can be caused by death rip too! It is absolutely amazing how much better they brake with a very light amount of pressure from just your palm, not the fingers and thumbs. This works for me and one other that gave me input, and I was amazed at how much it affects the brakes and how straight the bike brakes when you don’t hold onto the handlebars for dear life! The lighter, the touch the better the braking was. Love these things. Hope this helps.

I had ridden an RTL for a few years before I went to a open house at one of the local dealerships and did a test ride on a Ryker. Wow, what a little rocket! And yes, with it not weighing very much, it was VERY responsive to hand guidance, you can very easily over steer those things! They are like a little race car, point and shoot!! Even with an RT you only need a light touch, that is one trouble most new people have when they first jump on and go down the road!!!! Have fun, ride safe!

A relaxed grip, arms, & shoulders are the key to riding any reverse trike. It's the big change that almost everyone misses. Until you get this right, the Spyder/Ryker/Canyon can be a scary ride.
