Great video Bill , well done for persevering with the sway bar. Cheers from Oz !!

thank God for guys like you that are mechanically inclined. I could have never done it and probably would not have the patience for it. It was worth the work because it looks wonderful. I'm looking forward to purchasing a Ryker when the 2020s come out.

Nice work, it really helped me out,thats why when I get mine, I'm going to add it on as a accessory lol

Looks awesome!!! Great walk through!

I did mine today and hubby and I did it we didn't drop the a-arm and yes it was a pain but we did it. It took about 3 hours and it's done. Much better ride. Thanks for the video.

great content .. saw ur video last year... just bought my 600 ace... saturday .. had upgrade sway bar kit installed

Love the sticker on your box.

Wow! this upgrade dramatically improved the ride on my Ryker. It took me a couple day to complete. getting to the nuts on the left side of the bike was a PIA. Thanks for the video.

No problem thank you for checking out the video. If you would like to upgrade the end links we now carry sway bar end links that are billet aluminum and a one solid piece design. This will stiffen up the ride and keep it even more in line with the road ahead of you. www.blrtuning.co/products/pre-order-sale-rykermod-super-billet-end-links-all-ryker-600-900

Think I will let the dealership do it for a little cash. But enjoyed your video.

I just did one in an 1.5 hrs with your help and I didn’t have to take the control arm off I loosened the mount for the steering on one side and pop the bar right out but yes I did scratch the piss out of the new bar but overall a simple process did not over think it

What if you added the aluminum links that slingmods offer as Well? Do you think that would help even more?

Hi thinking about the 2 up rear spring. Would only do 2 up once in a while do you think it will still be a advantage having the 2 up rear spring as a solo rider ?

@BLRTUNING

if you ride two up once in awhile you could do the 33% stiffer sway bar from BRP in the front end and the two up rear spring in the rear end and it would be okay. the two up rear spring is not that much stiffer than the stock factory spring. I would recommend the 33% stiffer sway bar in the front end of the bike and maybe like a stage 3 Elka suspension in the rear.. when you order from ELkA you fill out a form online that you describe the rider weight the passenger weight do you ride with a passenger all the time or not all kinds of information for them to custom build your suspension.

Hey Bill, do you have a preference for which sway bar is best- can am’s red 30% stiffer sway bar, sling mods or Baja Ron’s?

@BLRTUNING

2 жыл бұрын

All of them are a good choice. What I look for specifically is a one piece solid design sway bar with one piece solid design end links. I try and eliminate any points of failure in the suspension as often as I possibly can. This means going after the product that has the least amount of parts that could possibly fail. It's been my experience that the sway bar and end links should be three total pieces. Yes they are all good designs and we have not seen any failures yet with any of them that are on the market. On my bikes specifically I have the 33% stiffer sway bar from BRP and then I have the one piece solid billet aluminum end links that can be found on sling mods from Spyder extras... That would be my personal go-to choice setup as it has the least amount of components that can possibly fail. Again all of them are worthy of putting on the bike though.

Ryker New OEM Red Swaybar Stabilizer Kit, 219400819 vs. Can Am Ryker 3-piece sway bar by Baja Ron . Which is better?

@BLRTUNING

3 жыл бұрын

So far I have never heard any complaints about either setup... With that being said I can tell you from a racers standpoint a sway bar is meant to be one piece it is meant to flex and bend... The more moving pieces or pieces that can move the more chances of failure.. the Baja Ron sway bar is a three piece sway bar the one from BRP is a single piece.. You'll have to decide for yourself which one you think is better you just do your research.. What I can tell you is that I have never tried the Baja Ron sway bar personally.. I have never seen anyone complain about it or say that it broke on them... On every racing application that I've ever seen or upgraded sway bar that I've ever seen for any vehicle it has always been one piece with an end Link at each end connecting it to the arms..... if you ask everyone else they're going to have their own opinions just like I have mine however what you will find out is that both are good and nobody has complained about either... I'm just not a fan of the three-piece setup... That's my own personal opinion...

what's the difference with this sway bar and the baja rons sway bar?

@BLRTUNING

4 жыл бұрын

The baja rons rons sway bar is not a real sway bar.. a real sway bar would be one solid piece and then the connecting links.. this adds extra pieces which can add extra spots for failure.. if you look at any top-of-the-line sway bar for any other vehicle you'll see that it is one solid piece..... the one you are talking about is something that someone made so they could try to pocket some money off of people that don't know any better that's my opinion.. I've been racing and modifying cars for a long time and even my car has a complete ultra racing sway bar kit all the sway bars are one solid piece...

Why wouldn’t BRP not put that stiffer bar on if it rides so much better?
