This was an excellent video man! I love how casual you are in the delivery and you are so honest and genuine. I am taking the 3 wheel course in Pittsburgh next week and hope to jave my first ever bike after! I'm 55 and definitely want to be as safe as possible, so thanks for these tips! I will be watching more and subscribing to your channel.
@@labbett87 thank you for subscribing it much appreciated .It helps not to have a script kinda keeps you grounded lol. I’ll be making more Ryker/spyder content just not in mood to ride that often just to hot in the summer. Good luck with your course and welcome to the tribe of trikes.
A lot of common sense in this video. I rode in my twenties, and had a wreck that damn near killed me; I spent six months in the hospital. Rode for a while in my forties, and life just got in the way. Now I'm in my seventies, and looking for basic daily transportation and a little fun. Ryker seems to fill the bill...
Looking to get back into riding after over 15 years of not, sold my bike before I left for the army when I was 20...I think the ryker makes the most sense for me.
Nice job, I have only about 2500 miles on my 900 and enjoying it, other than when people tailgate me. The single lane roads are usually the most scenic but all I get is impatient people that love to go well over the speed limit so I avoid a single lane road. I agree with every tip you gave, great job.
@@brianh.3468 I’m glad your enjoying your ride. I tried to include as much as I remembered lol but there is so much more. Save the tailgating for the stadium.
Didn't know there are turkeys in Staten Island. I like watching your vids. I got a Ryker a few months back. Traded my Vstar 1300 in. Was tired of the added stress every time I did a Legion ride(259) it seemed to rain. Gotta love that upstate weather. One of these days I'll make a vid. I got mine used and there were lots of hidden surprises I can talk about. Plus I did some cool mods. Love that thing. Thanks
My second time through this video.... When I lean into a curve I push down on the outside peg, and press that knee or both of them against the bike. I also found that replacing the crappy factory sway bar and end links upped my comfortable speed on curves and rough roads by at least ten mph.
I press on outside peg , sometimes open the inside knee sometimes press it in. I don’t think there is a wrong or right as long as you don’t fly off lol.
I appreciate the tips for new riders, just picked up my Ryker at the end of Sept. Got a 600, I heard that sneak diss! When you mentioned the ever present VSS, can you elaborate more? I have had a few VSS issues already
Going into limp mode can be caused by several things. First things first make sure you don’t ride with the brake pressed . When i mean pressed all you need is the brake light to come on . Learn to get off gas while braking. The other reason would be a bad sensor. Unfortunately there isn’t much you can do yourself . Get a repair shop that knows what they are doing. I wish i could tell you more but unfortunately that is the nature of the beast. I have a few videos on the subject maybe you will find them helpful if not many have made videos on this subject.
🤣"we don't admit that there's a 600"🤣, that's hilarious because when i was telling my son about these, because he's interested in getting one, i never once mentioned the 600🤣, no he will not hear that from me, and when he finds out that there is indeed a 600, i will immediately detour him from even thinking about getting a 600, I'm not above making up horrible untruths about the 600🤣, no son of mine will own a 600 ryker
I don’t hate it so much as don’t understand why they make it. The smaller engine offers no real benefits unlike a 2 wheel motorcycle where you trade power for maneuverability in some cases. Losing a single cylinder isn’t worth the cost savings . It’s also not that the 900 will get you into any more trouble like a 400 vs a 1000 liter bike.
I wish I had a goto place but they went out of business. It’s a Nolan N70-2 GT Helmet if that helps. You might be able to pick it up at revzilla. I would also recommend the ncom com system as it fits perfectly into the lid. Not the best for group ride communication but for blasting tunes it works well
Great tips for the novice and experienced rider. Thank You.
Yea I’m going to have to do a series on riding these things in more detail.
This is one of the best videos I have seen. Superior knowledge mixed with common sense and experience. RideWithPeace from Texas.
Thank you. I hope I do a good job when I make some riding instruction videos this spring. Enjoy that relatively warm Texas weather.

Yep I certainly can fit the bill if you just want something to get back into things.

Hope so it’s a blast and tons of fun
some of the best ryker riding videos on the tube!
thanks for upload
Thank you for the high praise

Yea we got turkeys , dear, fox and some bald eagles it a zoo practically. Make those vids the more the merrier. Nothing like less stress riding!
Just uploaded a vid on my Ryker. @@SIRyker

Very informative, would be great if you do a follow up for the Spyder. 👍
I think there will be

I use the available paper towels at the gas station when I fill my Ryker, no worries about gas on a rag in the frunk
Sounds good but I would still keep the rag just in case
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well thanks
@@SIRyker 57 years young , 1st motor bike ever . I just sold my electric bike and moving up
50 myself, my Ryker was my first.
You think the can am transmission klunk is bad? Try the old BMW R bikes.
@@jesseamaya4594 lol I don’t think it’s bad it is what it is. When you’re new it can be disconcerting.

We do not speak of the 600

Not on my watch‼️‼️‼️🤣☠️☠️
Questions why you're hating the 600..??

Grest video Thank you
Glad you liked it
Great video. Are you Pete Davidson behind that mask? Sound just like him
@@paulbradt8905 no I don’t get to date beautiful women. The voice and accent just comes with the territory.
“…like a crime scene…” 😂
Could have described it differently but …….
Im also curious on how your project will turn out .
Also “don’t take it in the backside.” Not just Ryker advice, spittin’ life advice! 👍🏻
@@Y-DER well if you have taken a bad hit on the rear tire the result would I assume feel the same
Where can I get the helmet
