really like the realistic video with the bike noise on the highway . was one of my concerns it was not too bad at 80 mph. I just realized you have louder than stock exhaust

I put a treal performance exhaust on mine without the silencer. It’s definitely loud but its a very deep sound. I tend to put music on and it drowns out the exhaust so I honestly have no plans to add a silencer until I do a lengthy trip. I do love the sound it makes when it engine brakes.
I have heard good things about the Treal exhaust. I might give that a shot sometime in the future, but I'm happy with the return to non-deafening sound levels again with the factory exhaust. Cheers! 👍 --QM
The drone is so bad on the video, I turned the sound off and put the captions on! After 8725 miles on mine, no way I would change the stock exhaust. My .02. Paul
Yep, agreed! I reverted back to the OEM exhaust after I returned from this trip. I turned on the noise reduction at 22:24 in the video to save anyone's ears that hung around that long. 🤣👍 --QM
Absolutely... you should get out and do it! If you haven't been camping in a while or if you haven't ever moto-camped before, I could give you some pointers to get you going. I'm the corruptor... I love to get people addicted to my moto hobbies! 🤣👍 --QM

I Just got back from Garner State Park ,not too far from where you camp at Los Maple. September 27 - October 2 2020 . Temperatures 50*-55* nights,75-85* Days .
Nice! This ride was back in July, so we sweated our butts off... 100+ during the days and only down into the low-80's at night. The day rides weren't bad though because it was overcast most of the time. I'll try to edit and post parts 2 & 3 of this ride soon.

Agreed! I decided to leave the raw audio for the first portion of the video just so people could judge for themselves how loud the TBR S1R exhaust would be for their tastes. I re-enabled the audio processing at 22:24 to save everyone's ears while watching the video (except for mine during that ride, of course). I couldn't tolerate it and neither could Nick! He didn't want to ride behind me for the next several days because he couldn't even hear himself think over the roar of my exhaust! 🤣 That exhaust is now sitting in a box in my garage... I'll probably find someone that wants it, but I certainly don't. Cheers! 👍 --QM
I had to ride behind that loud ass exhaust. It was so bad after the first day I insisted on riding in front of him due to I couldn't hear much in my helmet. Was terrible
Those mudguards Aaron look sort of cool and fitting close is there enough room if stones get caught up? Must admit Ryker is a bit to loud for my liking im always in stealth mode. I would say this bike is the most comfortable out of your collection especially on long trip a bit like a Honda Goldwing type bike. Another good video Marc in Bletchley Towers G6XEG
Howdy, Marc, and thanks for the feedback! The Ryker is a noisy beast, for sure. This trip was louder than most because of the new exhaust. I didn't apply any noise-reduction or audio processing in the video until the 22:24 mark just so people could judge for themselves whether or not that exhaust would work for them. Some of my previous Ryker videos were quieter and (somewhat) easier to hear the voice commentary. As for the mudguards and fenders... they are a bit tight, and I've had some rocks become lodged in there temporarily. The Ryker is a reasonably-comfortable machine with its laid-back seating position, but it's always a handful to wrangle on long trips... it requires constant course correction to maintain a straight line. Cheers! 👍 --QM
That blue is nice! Great color, did you buy it used? What year is it? I’m thinking about buying one this year if I can find what I want and a good deal! The dealers want full MSRP! 😡 I don’t want to pay full list.
Howdy, Dj! Which bike are you referring to? I purchased my Ryker new with yellow panels, but I switched over to black panels about a year ago. There are lots of used Rykers in the market now for decent prices, but the new ones are still fetching full MSRP at all of the dealers that I've seen. They are still hard to keep on showroom floors! Cheers! 👍 --QM
How is the handling on the ryker? I’ve seen some reviews and most people say when you get it up to highway speeds it’s a bit shaky/not 100% centered. And the handle bars vibrate. Is that true ?
The high-speed stability is a bit erratic on my Ryker because it has always had an alignment problem. Some Rykers are more stable than others, and I think it depends on very fine differences in the front wheel alignment and the tire treads. The Rally models with the all-season tires tend to wander around a bit more than the non-Rally models with the street treads. I wouldn't call my Ryker's handling "dangerous", but you always need to maintain and correct it to stay on course... much more so than with a motorcycle or a car. The handlebars do vibrate over bumps a lot, but the engine vibrations on the 900 (Rally) aren't bad above idle speeds. Both the 600 and 900 Rykers' bars vibrate a lot at idle. Ignoring those inconveniences, the Ryker handles very well for cornering and it is very stable in wet or slippery conditions. You never need to worry about balancing the bike at low speeds (or while stopped) because the 3-wheel platform is inherently balanced. The result of this stability also removes the worry of low-siding or having the bike slip out from under you in corners... just corner at whatever speed feels comfortable to you, and the bike's rider aids (e.g. stability control, traction control, and yaw control) will take care of the rest. It's very hard to push the bike out of its comfort zone because the traction nanny will reign things back under control very quickly. Cheers! 👍 --QM
if you were in the uk that first fuel stop would have cost you the equivalent of $23...... you use the ryker in cold/wet weather, what they like traction wise?
We are lucky to have inexpensive fuel here in the States. The Ryker handles wet and slippery conditions very well. I don't like the Kenda tires that are fitted on these bikes because they are very traction-limited. However, the Ryker's advanced rider aids (e.g. traction control, stability control, ABS) do a fantastic job of keeping the bike pointed in the right direction. The biggest benefit of the reverse-trike platform is that it's stable by design... you never need to balance it or worry about tipping over. If you want to see an extreme example, watch this video to see how it handles in a severe thunderstorm and 70 MPH winds: th-cam.com/video/-QSYaoaBBps/w-d-xo.html . Cheers! 👍 --QM
Thanks for the feedback! I have the 2019 Ryker Rally 900. It's a lot of fun to ride, but I need to have the front suspension sorted out to fix my erratic steering issues. That project is on my to-do list for this fall. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Those are the Can-Am handguard deflectors that were add-ons for the aluminum guards/frames that came with the Rally edition. If your Ryker doesn't have the handguards, then you need that kit as well.

@@QuasiMotard I just got my 900 Ace yesterday PRELOVED and the previous owner loved that exhaust but after taking it for a spin for a few hours I was done with that noise it really reminds me of a Tuk Tuk from Thailand one of the really loud ones......HORRIBLE
At the beginning of the ride, I was definitely down on power due to the failed P1X noise baffle. It was causing excessive back-pressure and a horrible exhaust note (probably detrimental harmonics in the exhaust because the TBR S1R can wasn't specifically tuned for this application). After I removed the blown/melted baffle, the bike perked up considerably. I estimated about 10-15 extra HP on my super-technical butt dyno. Unfortunately, that exhaust note and horrible drone at 70 MPH was just too much to bear, so I removed the S1R exhaust and re-flashed the ECU after I returned from this trip. I'm back to the factory exhaust and the "stock enhanced" fuel map now... the bike is happier and so are my ears. 😉👍 --QM
@@fozzybear9114 LOL! You're a trouper... most people muted the audio and waited for the captions! 🤣 If you watch days 2 & 3, you'll notice that Nick didn't want to ride behind me because he was going deaf. At least I was wearing foam earplugs to save my hearing! 👍 --QM

Good question! No, these floorboards ( www.lamonstergarage.com/lamonster-black-dymond-can-am-ryker-floorboards/ ) aren't slippery, but I have noticed that it's harder to get leverage while cornering. The original footpegs allow you to angle your feet at 45 degrees and push against the pegs, while the floorboards are flat... no point of leverage.

I have the OPT7 Fluxbeam-X LED lamps in my Ryker, and I haven't had anyone complain or flash me during the daytime so far. However, I have had a few people flash me at night when I was running low beams. The reflector housings in the Ryker are a bit sloppy, so there is a lot of upward throw (scatter) unlike projector lamps or housings that are specifically designed for LED's as original equipment.

Yep! I was very surprised that TBR would even sell an aluminum baffle for this exhaust instead of steel alloy. I didn't think too much about it until I heard the rattling and raspy exhaust note during my first refuel in Luling, TX... I knew something wasn't quite right. During that first leg of the trip, I was only traveling ~70 MPH, so that is a very "normal" running condition for the Ryker. If the baffle melted, then that means that the EGT's were in the ~1200°F range (assuming that it's pure aluminum and not an alloy of some flavor). I still have that blown-out P1X baffle sitting here on my editing desk as a fancy paperweight. 🤣👍 --QM

Yep! I was very surprised that TBR would even sell an aluminum baffle for this exhaust instead of steel alloy. I didn't think too much about it until I heard the rattling and raspy exhaust note during my first refuel in Luling, TX... I knew something wasn't quite right. During that first leg of the trip, I was only traveling ~70 MPH, so that is a very "normal" running condition for the Ryker. If the baffle melted, then that means that the EGT's were in the ~1200°F range (assuming that it's pure aluminum and not an alloy of some flavor). I still have that blown-out P1X baffle sitting here on my editing desk as a fancy paperweight. 🤣👍 --QM
you have tooooo manyyyy commericals on your videossss
Not into scooters or camping
Yet you watched and left feedback for a video that doesn't feature scooters or camping? Hmm. 🤔
very noisy
Yep! That Two Brother's Racing S1R exhaust was obnoxious. I removed it and reverted back to the OEM exhaust right after this trip. 😉👍 --QM
