Super helpful video for new Ryker riders and those considering buying one. Glad you mentioned the engine braking, the clunk, and missing potholes. As an experienced rider, I was very pleasantly surprised to discover the Ryker to be more fun and more forgiving than any two wheeled bike. If you're on the fence about purchasing one, go ahead and jump. You won't regret it. Also, be sure to watch all of Ryker Rydes videos.

Awesome! Thank you! I really appreciate your comment. Unfortunately, from my experience, a lot of people are bringing home their Rykers and know so little about them. So I thought I'd make a YT channel devoted to helping others learn about their bike and all the fun ways to modify it! Maybe one day BRP will send me their latests model to work on and review!!! Is BRP really working on a hybrid or electric version? So exciting! Thanks again for watching, I am honored!

Paul Wow!!! Thank you so much!!

Another great video. You covered so much. I would add a couple of small things for new riders ... - The Ryker brakes much faster than an car. Tap your brakes twice at the point you are starting to slow down (for a stop light, etc.). You probably wont be hitting your brake yet, just throttling down as Beth described, but if you tap brakes the car behind you knows of your intention to stop. - Research, research, research before spending your hard earned money. There are a lot of great mods ... read reviews, watch awesome KZread videos, like Beth’s, and make sure the thing you are buying is likely to do what you want and that you have the means and capability to install it (Ryker is made to be customized ... so most things are easy). Also, for those looking at aftermarket lighting ... check the laws in you area ... under glow, for eg, is illegal in many states and provinces, especially if red and or blue. Don’t buy something that you cant use and have to pay a ticket for. Beth, as always, it was a pleasure watching. Keep up the great work!!!

Great video for new Riders. "What's That Burning Smell"-- Usually that is the metal engine part's oily residue from manufacturing burning off. Some parts are also sprayed with a factory coating to keep them preserved/sealed until the engine is finally run for the 'break in' period where it all burns off too, producing that 'new engine stink' a lot of new people freak out about. During my VIN inspection I did spot an unfortunate melted factory sticker that someone had placed on metal that apparently got too hot for such a thing. It must have been stinking too until it charred away. Maybe it once read 'warning this metal gets incredibly hot', but most likely it was a useless factory parts number left on. So your guess about stuff left on the engine seems pretty spot on too.

Great video Beth! I've watched multiple times to glean all your information. What I'd also like to know is how wet your legs get when riding? Does the water channel right up through between the wheel and foot rest? Some motorcycles have a piece you can add to keep your legs dry(er) when riding in the rain. I am planning on picking up a used Ryker 900 in the near future. I also like your section on helmets. I like the more open style for better visibility and more open at the chin.

Hi Daniel, thanks for watching! The Ryker's fenders, keep your legs pretty dry in the rain. I do carry a rain suit with me for the big FL downpours. As far as helmets go, I switched to a full face. I decided I like me chin and want to keep it (in case of an accident). I did ride with a 3/4 for a long time and miss the tons of air circulation. So I totally understand. Ride safe, have fun!

Excellent video with great tips and info! After some of the extensive rides you've done, if you could do it again would you get a Spyder, or stick with the Ryker? Just curious from your experiences. Love your down-to-earth, no-nonsense, informative/intuitive videos!

I am in Canada....so I learned (on course) to always wear leathers or protection gear...even short distances. I am getting a Ryker, I will wear leathers on that too! LOL. Especially on the highway. Probably leather jacket and gloves....maybe kevlar jeans and motorcycle knee boots. You need boots that will not rip off if they hit the ground....of course, 100% a great helmet.

Hi Herman! Thanks for your comments. As far as my blue color, it is all a wrap. I do not have the name of it. It is pretty similar to the blue can am offers. Accidents? Nope, hopefully never will. There is a sense of security you have riding a 3 wheeler vs a 2. Much more stable. But I ride each ride, very defensively, always assuming people don't see me or assume they will stop short, pull out in front of me etc. There is always a risk, every-time you get on a bike. Dressing for an accident is very important. I like to ride in full gear, even though others I ride with are in shorts and no helmet. Their choice. If you get a bike, ride it at off peak times to get yourself very comfortable. TAKE THE RIDING COURSE!!! No I did not get the extended warranty. I prefer to pay as I go.

Great video very helpful but i don’t see the links below, whats the link for the front wheel lights? also is there any special small type of tool kit for the Ryker? also are you ok with the headlights i see a lot of ppl change out to LED lights? Happy, Safe Riding

Tim and I just took the Can Am 3 wheel course but we had to use our own Rykers as they only had Spyders and didn't have enough for the class we were in. My poor Ryker hasn't been the same since

@@RykerRydes going around curves I have had to go extremely slow (used to be able to go into the one curve in particular at about 38-40 mph and now have to slow down to about 30 mph) cause if I take it as fast as I normally did I get a VSS fault and goes into Limp Home Mode and I've had to ride it up to the dealership on my way home from work. This has happened 3 times. They have reset my "Yaw" (spelling?) sensor each time and have even replaced the sensor once.

Thanks for the video.. Very helpful. Question.. What phone holder would you recommend?..I don't want to lose it.

I have a quad lock and really like it. I will do a review on it soon.

Good video for newbies, though I did learn a few things despite several years of 2-wheeling experience now practiced on an RT-S. For some a drink holder is a good thing, but why mount it on the throttle side? Can you reach it with the left hand? Or, do you stop to drink? Is there no place to mount it on the left side? ???

Hi Brian, thanks for your comment. As far as the drink holder, there is no room on the left side because of the brake lock. Plus I never drink and drive lol!!

Oops, hit the send button too soon! Had to sell the bike in 2008 to pay property taxes when they came due! Then a few years ago I suffered a major stroke. I recovered very well in about 9 months but my balance never returned back to what it once was. The 3 wheels are my answer! I drive for a living like a Fed X or UPS driver so my driving skills are top notch. I drive about 12 to 1300 miles every week. Most days are between 10 to 12 hours a day. My wife and I use to ride a lot, but she isn’t keen about riding as a passenger anymore. However she knows I can drive a car just fine. Personally I don’t think I wast to ride 2 wheels anymore, but this could get me back on the open road!! Thinking about the 1330cc model with the hard bags in the back. I’d like the trunk but I don’t like the cost of that model. The one I have my eye on is about $21500.00 MSRP. I might to work on the dealer a bit to get the price I want cause I WILL NOT PAY MSRP! They are really selling like crazy rite now and the dealers are not sing the song I want to hear! Maybe I might have to buy in December or January, February time frame to make a deal we can both live with! Would I like one this summer? You bet, however I can wait to get a great deal!! I’m not an emotional buyer, I’m a smart buyer! I sold Luxury cars for about 20 years and understand depression all too well! Haven’t sold cars for the last 5 or 6 years. But when I did, I had almost a perfect JD Power rating from my customers every year!! That’s no small accomplishment. I always treated my customers like they were Family. Many of them bought cars from me every few years! Remember, I was selling luxury cars, some of my customers were very wealthy and would also send me their other rich friends for my no BS sales experience. I just got tired of working all the crazy hours and every weekend. 20 years of that was enough. The stroke really made me re-evaluate my wants and needs. Now I’m happy to work my 50 to 60 hours a week. No weekends, and as much OT as I want or don’t want!! Sorry for the long ranting post but that’s my story!

Let me start by saying, thank you for sharing your story with me. You are a funny and intriguing writer. Very captivating. I am sorry about your stroke but am glad you are doing so well now. It must be discouraging not being able to ride a two wheeler anymore (by the way your childhood sounded AMAZING....sadly very few have that experience anymore) . Riding a trike sounds like the perfect solution for you. Now finding you the right one, is the fun part. You mentioned looking at, what seemed to be Spyders. They are great and have many advantages, such as power steering and other creature comforts. If you do not plan on riding with a passenger or going on long, overnight trips....have you considered a Ryker? I would guess you have and that's how you found my channel. What are your thoughts on those? The Ryker does not have power steering, but is never an issue once you twist the throttle. I think it is at a great price point for you. You may want to consider a good used bike, still under warranty. I was able to get my 2019 900 Ryker for a steal with only 500 miles. The owner's wife got pregnant and made him sell it (poor guy lol). Let me know how your search is going and please reach out if I can assist you in your journey to getting back on the road!! Stay well, Beth

Could you possibly do a video on changing the drive belt on the Riker 900?

I will definitely do one, but it may be a little while until my bike needs it. A few more miles.

Im in the market for a ryker 900… find the info great and very helpful… living in germany… talking about MPG, have you compared higher Octane fuel between super and super plus? also have you ever been in a aquaplaning situation how does the cycle react?

@RykerRydes

Жыл бұрын

Hi there. No, I have not measured the difference between super and super plus. I can’t imagine it being significant. The biggest mpg impact is riding on the highway vs side roads. Yes I have gotten caught in bad rain etc. the Ryker does well, but feels much like a car would in that situation.

Hey, I know it's been a while since you posted this video but I just bought my Ryker and I'm looking for some good tips and ideas. Can you please post the links for the accessories? At least for the light bar on the front wheels and the throttle assist. Sling Mods also makes a set of lights that goes under the Max Mount. Have you seen or reviewed those? I'm in Ohio so I have the winter coming up to get my bike where I want it. Thanks.

Hey Beth, thanks for the video. Have you had any other bikes in the past? I’ve been riding two wheelers for over 30 years. I’ve had one spyder and now my Ryker rally. Otherwise I’ve had Harley’s, triumphs, Suzukis, Yamahas and Moto Guzzis. I have to say I’m loving the ryker, I’m thinking of putting the air hawk on for longer journeys. Are you on Instagram Beth? I like my atlas throttle lock!

Hi Lee! I have only had a 125cc scooter and have a 2 wheel endorsement, but never owned a 2 wheel motorcycle. The Ryker is my first powerful machine. I am hooked (as you can probably tell). I am on Instagram but never use it, too busy with FB (Beth's Ryker Rydes) and YT. ps I know you love your throttle lock, just not good for a new rider!

I know you said that rykers are not made for long distance..i have seen videos where some say that they have traveled 1000 miles or so on a ryker..I am on the planning stage of getting a rally..just like it more..no particular reason…but i do want to go on long distance riding. i’m talking like 4 to 6 hours. maybe more..i respect your advice…so i’m asking your thoughts on this

Hi Luis! I have certainly ridden 6 hours at one time on many occasions, and it is doable. There are so many ways to make long trips more comfortable: seat cushions, throttle assist, foam grips, backrest etc (I have videos and links for all that). The Spyder is a totally different riding experience (power steering, speakers, cruise control etc.) but you sit higher up and feels a lot less sporty. Hope this helped a little bit.

I've recently started looking at Can Ams. Currently have a Honda NC700 and a Royal Enfield Himalayan. 95% of my rides are under 3 hours. However, I do like to take an all day or weekend trip to the NC mountains from time to time. I have done a 6500 mile trip to Utah/Colorado. Just wondering about the comments of the Spyder might be better for long rides. More thoughts on that?

Hi Dale! In my opinion, the Ryker is not meant for long rides. Anything over an hour or so, you will want the Spyder. I didn’t mind sacrificing comfort for the look of the Ryker. Also the price helped! If you sit on both, you’ll have your answer. The Ryker fit me perfectly. Just love the look and style. Hope this helps.

I like all your videos and are informative. Thank you for your videos. Also I would love to win that 😁😊😊 radiator grille. I am consistent aren't I. Haha
