Thank you for posting this informative video, John. I bought this tool from Amazon after watching your video and adjusted my Ryker's suspension setting just now. My new Ryker came at the softest suspension setting. I found it too soft even for riding two-up. I moved the suspension setting up by two notches, and it is now sitting in the middle notch. It feels perfect now.

@@VinCode17 Sorry for the late reply. I did not see your question until just now. I am actually riding in the stiffest suspension setting right now. The factory suspension spring is indeed quite soft. I was riding with a passenger on the backseat earlier this year and my Ryker' suspension was in the middle setting, but the suspension still bottomed out on a rough section of pavement and the bottom of the passenger seat hit the top of the rear wheel's fender, leaving a minor scratch on the fender. If you intend to carry a passenger occasionally, I recommend putting the suspension on the stiffest setting. If you carry a passenger regularly, then you should seriously consider getting an upgraded spring installed by your dealer. Ride safe.

Thanks for the heads up. Had my max mount installed at the dealership. Unfortunately, they neglected to adjust or advise me on the available adjustments. As per manual: -Setting #1(lowest Setting and factory) up to 220lbs 100kg. -Setting #3(mid Setting) more than 220lbs driver and cargo. -Setting #5(top setting) is with a passenger. The rally edition is a different animal.

Thank you, the dealer couldn't figure it out. But they were not using the same set up as you. They were using regular spanner wrenches without a ratchet and it was giving them problems.

John, is it always necessary to adjust the spring after adding the max mount? i just bought the mount to add a backrest. The BRP vid shows that after adding the max mount, a clockwise shock adjustment follows. but i 'm not going to add a passengers seat or more weight. So do you think I need to adjust my rear shock? if so i'm shopping for the spanner wrench.

stay frosty If you are not riding with a passenger, you shouldn’t have to adjust the spring. Adjusting the spring is mainly to even out weight distribution within the suspension. I hope I was able to help!

No problem brotha! Both the Ryker 900 and 600 can hold up to 449lbs and the Ryker Rally can hold up to 438lbs. This weight limit is with passenger or cargo.

I just got my Ryker and noticed that mine is set in a larger notch beyond the 5 setting. Any idea what this setting is for and how to get it out of that, it is a much deeper notch that does not look easy to clear.

There is about 5 notches. Each time you turn it, it will lock into a notch. I recommend at that weight to turn it all the way to the 5th notch, the reason being is because that will be the max spring load and will stiffen the suspension to its maximum setting. I hope this answered your question!
