What I do when I check my oil since you only have like 10 seconds to get it done. . After getting the bike up to temp, I'll open the CVT cover and unscrew but not yet remove the dip stick. Then I'll hit the kill switch, and immediately wipe it, reinsert and then check. Saves me a few of those precious 10 seconds. :)
My favourite improvement that I have made to my Ryker was to fit a set of Black Diamond running boards from Lamonster Garage in place of the foot pegs. They improved my comfort 100%! I made my own radiator guard with stainless steel mesh (from Amazon) and some zip ties lol. At some point I want to swap out the sway bar end links for the Baja Ron ones. Oh and your absolutely right about the comfort seat, it’s perfect for me. On the 6th of June I will have had Ripley for 2 years and I will not be parted from her. She’s absolutely the most fun motor vehicle I have ever owned! Ryde Safe Brother 🙏🏻😎🏴
Agree about all of the mods not being totally necessary unless you plan on touring a lot. And in that case a Spyder might be a better buy. For me the stock seat is ok, with the max mount and 1up backrest installed. I'm 6'2" and wish maybe I had a tiny bit more legroom. But I would say to everyone ride the stock seat for a while before you upgrade. Also long highway rides might get tiresome without a windshield. For me I'm used to riding motorcycles without them. But new riders often say they need a windshield right away. Often I find this is a helmet fitment issue or no helmet \ face shield issue. If you have a full face helmet that fits right, you probably don't need a windshield. My last helmet was too big and I felt I was getting blown all over the place. I got a tighter fit and it was night and day.
I have only had my Rally for one month and, so far, I have no rattles. It has become my daily commuter. My biggest complaint is being thrown side to side with the front tires tracking back and forth at higher speeds. I just installed the billet sway bar end links last night, so we'll see how that does. Otherwise, I am enjoying the ride tremendously!
I should have said, the other 5 things what I didn't like in my other video. The Subscribers and me have 10 reasons what they don't like. The end links were part of the other video. The Billet will really keep your Ryker tight and strait! Take care and drive safe!
I hope the borders open soon. I always enjoy the ride to Thunder Bay. This summer I will be less taking a trip and will be on the border past Grand Marais Minnesota. I hope you have some wonderful trips this summer. Take care and be safe.

It is so funny to hear your comments. I thought I was the only one in the Indy 500 pit crew of checking oil. Thank You for the tip!

You will love the Baja Rob End Links and sway bar. Thank You for watching!

I'm all about wind protection for me. I never find a helmet the fits me quite right. Keep it safe and Thank You for watching!
Hello! from all the way down south from PUERTO RICO, love the videos and your responsible knowledge sharing.
Awesome! Thank you!

Hey Harry I am in Thunder Bay , Ontario just a few hours north of you. Maybe we will meet up sometime when they open the borders and go for ride.
I hope the borders open soon. I always enjoy the ride to Thunder Bay. This summer I will be less taking a trip and will be on the border past Grand Marais Minnesota. I hope you have some wonderful trips this summer. Take care and be safe.
After reliability comes comfort for me and the Ryker seat is too small front to back. A lot of people seem to go for the Airhawk pad.
I should have brought up the Airhawk. I agree the seat is not good. Thank You for watching John.
