This is the “How to” video that pretty much every Ryker owner has been waiting for. Well done Beth! Stay Safe 🙏🏻
Thanks George!! Your comment got pinned!!
I am a new Ryker rider, but have been riding motorcycles for over 35 years. Thank you Beth, this is great information. The dealer charges are very high for this service and I was looking to doing this oil change myself. Love your step by step videos. Please keep them coming.
Thank you so much! So happy I could help.
Awesome video, Beth (& Jason)! Just the video I wanted to see. It showed me everything I needed to know before jumping into this job myself. Thanks, as always.
My pleasure!!! It’s really not a bad project! Very doable!!
Thank you so much, Beth & Jason.
I just completed my very first oil & oil filter change...it took close to 2 hours due to looking for right size of tools but I know that it will be done in 30 minutes next time. Thanks again for very detailed video.👍
My absolute pleasure!!! So happy the video helped you. You are the reason I made the video!! Ride safe!
Been waiting for a decent Ryker oil change video. Thanks!
Thanks so much!!!
Thanks again! Just changed my oil at 3650! Very helpful. I didnt jack it up, just drove up on 2x4s and hand enough room to get under and complete the job.
That is awesome!!! Great job!
Just got my Ryker and have been watching your videos and very helpful! Great work, much appreciated 👍🏽
Thanks for taking the time to comment! It means a lot to me! Enjoy and ride safe!
Good job. Changing your own oil can be a right of passage for the new rider. It allows you to get more familiar with your bike by seeing and touching parts that you normally wouldn't. For me, it provides a deeper feeling of ownership and oneness with your ride. Unfortunately I get to pay full price for all my service needs at my local dealership because of my physical limitations. One helpful hint my father passed on to me is using a cheap plastic drop cloth (5 for $5 at lowes) to cover the area under your pan and Ryker. That'll keep you from getting those errant oil drips from used gloves, drain plugs, and splashes from the drain pan on the driveway or garage floor. Another great video. Thanks
Hi Kevin!!! That was written so well and perfectly captures how I felt changing the oil. It is definitely a feeling of oneness with the bike. Well said! Your dad was a smart man! I put a garbage bag down, but clearly wasn't enough. Had to run out and buy the sand to clean up my oil spills. It worked great and I now have 10 lbs of it!! lol I wish you lived closer, I would gladly change your oil for you. Now that I have done it, the next time will be a breeze...especially if I am not recording and talking my way through it! Stay well my friend!
Such an excellent and well done video Beth! Thank you for all the time, effort and quality you place into your videos. I want to say thanks to your camera guy too.
Thank you so much for your nice words! You made my heart smile!
I got my first bike (crf250l) in May and now I want to buy matching rykers for me and my wife!! even learning how to change oil before I buy them. lol loving your channel, bingeee watching!!
YES!!! do it!!!
Fantastic video! This is exactly what I was looking for. Really great job!
Glad it was helpful!
A+ effort. Good job
I’m about to change my oil after the 200 mile break in. You were super informative.
Glad it helped! ps just curious why you are changing your oil so early? Can't hurt, that's for sure. But just wondering.
As a new rider and Ryker owner of a 900. This is reassuring and helpful. I know now how to approach this, when the time comes. Thanks for the video.
Glad it was helpful! And welcome to the family!!
Hey Beth, excellent video as always.. I'm now officially part of The Ryker Revolution!! Got my 900 yesterday, took my maiden voyage today..raining like crazy in Dallas...keep up the great, as well as hard, work 🤙🤠👊
Thank you soooo much David! Welcome to the family!!!
i admire your willingness to tackle all the tasks that you have on your Ryker.
Thanks Victor! I love a good challenge!
Just did my oil change after watching your video thanks a lot
My absolute pleasure!!
You guys are simply the best. Your videos are always comprehensive with the camera angles and the explanations. I really enjoy how you take us through the journey of the potential hiccups we would most likely come across as well, since not everyone was born a professional mechanic. Thank you for this.
Wow, thank you! I REALLY appreciate the nice words!!
Beth, you just saved me about 300 bucks, it's getting close to me getting a oil change. Thanks a lot
Yup! It feels great to save that money! It was easy too.
Nice to meet you Jason thank you for making this video Beth. I have a new Riker I bought it last fall and I’ll be doing my oil change soon so thank you. I am Richie from Long Island New York it’s just getting warm enough this week to start riding👍🏻
777 Thank you Richie. Here in Florida it is getting too hot to ride! Enjoy that beautiful weather!
I ordered my oil change kit last week. It's good that you can do it yourself in Coronatimes.
Drive safe!
/Jenny
Absolutely! It wasn’t hard at all.
Jenny Fahlén where do you order from? I’ve a 900 I think when new it said to change at first 300 or so?
Lori nelson From My dealership. The kit has all you need for an oilchange. Yes or whithin a year. The first One is really important.
Jenny Fahlén ok. Sorry but what is your dealership🙏
Have always enjoyed your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thank you soooooo much!
Awesome video! Thank you for taking the time to show us how
My absolute pleasure!
I love this woman! Keep up the great videos.
Wow!!!! Thank you!!!! I love you too!!! 🥰
Great video thank you. I’m now confident I can do it myself and save some money. Plus it looks like fun 😁
It WAS fun! If I can do it, you can too!!
Thank you for your how to videos. very informative. saved a lot of money doing my own oil change
Glad to help and awesome to hear. Thanks for watching!!
Good job!
FYI: I do believe that when you're changing the oil filter - push the new filter into the cover and then place both back in. This way the filter is aligned with no problem. I hope I explained that right. Cheers!
That makes perfect sense! Thanks for that great tip.
I'm going to look at a Ryker today. And so glad I came across this oil change video. 🙌
Awesome!! Thanks so much for your support.
And I got the 2022 Rally. Put almost 200 miles on it. The rain shut me down. windshield sport in the mail.
How did I miss the jacking up the Ryker video. Now I’m going to have to search for it. Great job and very ambitious. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. First time foe shoes too. 😄
Wendy you are too funny!! The jacking up video comes next week, unless someone needs it sooner.
Great information! Thank you!
Steve Christopher My pleasure!!
Question for Jason ..where did you find Beth ..she is one AMAZING woman
OMG this is awesome! I am going to print this comment, enlarge it, frame it and display it proudly in my living room!!! That's the best!! Thank you!! lol
Another awesome video.
Thank you so much!!!
Nice video, good job Beth! Nicely done. Great hubby support!
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Very helpful video Ryker Rydes Girl. Thank you and your Honey.
You are so welcome! Thanks Phil!!
Mr. Ryker is a great help, and you two are fun to watch together. I want your exclamation at 5:45 as my ring tone now 😀
OMG you are so funny!!!!!
Excellent video!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done!!!!
☺️ Thank you so much! It was fun!!
Hey Jason! Thank you guys for this video. You guys are goofy. I am a few miles from 3000 so I will be able to study this video before then.
Hi Kelvin!!
Yup, we are goofy 🙃!!! It was a fun project!!
Will watch tonight Beth ... At work! 👍
Stay safe!!! #HeroAtWork
Very great work this will help me
My pleasure!!
Great job Beth
Thanks so much for watching!
Subscribed, I don't even own a Ryker just yet but you seem to know the odds and ends of these machines even though they haven't been around long.
Thank you so much. I hope my videos help. Enjoy!! Thanks for watching!!
Eventually I will do this. Thanks again!
Any time!
you are such an awesome young lady with so much charm in your videos, and your husband seems to be just as awesome as you. many Blessings to you both and thanks as always.
Thank you so much!!
Great information Beth, thanks so much. Could you also do a video on how to check tyre pressure and adjust the air either way please? That would be great xx
Great idea! Thanks for watching!
Awesome job! Yours went a heck of a lot smoother than my self change. 😳😂
Really? What happened?
@@RykerRydes I had mine in the driveway on two car ramps...not bad. What was bad , was I didn't choose the oil pan with the open bottom. I selected the one that pooled with a cap. BAD IDEA!! When that oil started to poor out, it came out too fast to go down in that tiny hole. It went EVERYWHERE 😂😂. Thank God for Dawn dish liquid.
Those bolts were super tight. You did a great job! Kudo's too Mr Ryker Rides for keeping you safe with the jack set up. My hubby did the same for me. 😊
@@thasfun Ugg what a mess that must have made!
Hey sweetie thanx for this video and info
Thanks so much!
Excellent video, what jack points on the ryker did you use, could you show how you got it on the jack stands
I will add that to my list of videos to make. Thank you for the suggestion!!!
Just fyi, always inspect your mag plug for dissimilar metals, check the bottom of the drained oil pan and inspect your used oil filter by scanning between the filter luivers. Just a good indicator of your internal engine health and only takes a second. Enjoyed the video
Great tip and very important to do. Thank you for posting.
We'll done Beth & Jason Good to see you're doing it yourself ... Dealers are a Rip-off!! 👍😁🤘🙏 Beanie
Thanks so much Beanie! Stay well!
@@RykerRydes They're easing restrictions here this wkend ... Stay safe buddy 👍🤘🙏
BeanieBoyMoto awesome!! Ryde safe bother!!
what part did fido play? make sure you don't over fill with oil, allow for the filter to fill with oil once the engine, as when it fill s, the oil level will drop, thanks great video,
Thanks for the tips! You are 💯 correct.
Thank you for your information on changing the oil Beth. So I don’t have to Peruse the Internet to figure everything out
My pleasure, that’s why I do the videos! Happy to help!!
Does the 900cc have a wet clutch?
I am getting a Ryker this weekend and I always put Liquid Moly on my vehicles.
Have you tried adding some to the Ryker?
Hi there. The Ryker does not have a clutch. I personally just use can am’s recommend brand of oil. I have never tried Liquid Molly. You may want to call them directly and get their opinion. 1-888-MOLYOIL (665-9645)
Is Jason a motorcycle mechanic? He is very knowledgeable. A pretty lady like you amazes me how good you are at working on your bike! I use to change my own oil on my bikes but since I am so far and with bad knees I can't do it anymore. I use to enjoy doing it. You have the most informative Ryker show.
Thanks David Barber! Jason is not a mechanic, but he does work on his own cars. Ps thanks for the sweet compliment!
Your the BEST.
No, YOU are!!! 😊
Hey Beth I'm doing my oil change this weekend thanks to your video. question what kind of torque wrench do I need? Thanks for making it look so easy for us women who have never done any mechanical work.
Hi there! Honestly, I don’t torque. I just make sure it’s on there good and tight. BE SURE TO HAND TIGHTEN EVERYTHING FIRST. Don’t force any bolts in. You don’t want to strip anything.
You got this!!!
qucik question. dealer in Poland says that new Ryker 600 need to habve a oil change,w hen it comes new, after 50 milaes after purchased. is it correct?
No. The new recommendation is after 500 miles, to remove any contaminants. After that, every 6,000 miles or one year (which ever comes first). All this info is in the manual as well.
Thank you!!!! My local dealership quoted me $600
You got this!!! Thanks for watching!!
Hey my Riker says transmission maintenance required I gave it a full tuneup got any ideas why
Do you have over 12,000 miles? It may be for your drive belt? I just changed mine, and it still looked brand new.
Got your Iguana proof sneakers on today,good show and tell Jason that Fred hello.
Fred Scott Thanks so much!!! 🤪
What is the part number on the oil filter? I think it takes the same filter as my can am maverick 1000r. Thanks
Filter part # CM - 9910 for K&N
hi. what size of torque wrench did you use. 3/8 1/4 or 1/2 inch? thank you in advance.
I am going to have to go back and check. Sorry I don't have that info at the moment.
Great video. Love what you do. Just as a precaution: the 2021 Rykers require 2.98 quarts of oil vs 3.5 quarts I 2019 and 2020. There were changes in 2021, such as a larger gas tank (no longer cap less). Just make sure to check the owners manual.
Scott, thank you for your comment. But from everything I have read and been told, those are just rumors and not true at all (except the gas tank is no longer cap less). Same size gas tank and same size *engine (same amount of oil). *900 requires more than the 600
If you look on the Can-Am website, it shows only 2 variations of oil change kits: 600 and 900. All models, all years
@@RykerRydes I wish I could show you the owners manual of a 2021 Ryker Rally, but it states 2.98 quarts for 900. Irregardless of what these rumors are out there. People need to make sure they read the owners manual first. I checked the oil after I changed it adding 3 quarts and it was in the middle of the dip stick. PS the ECM is different in 2021 over 2020. I had BLR tuning performed mine and had to wait until he could 2021 based on this per Bill Ramsey. So there a number of differences in the 2021 model. I hope that people check their owners manual before doing items like oil changes. I am not sure why their website does not post the differences. I guess there is a reason not to trust the internet.
@@C8Z51Scott that is so interesting. I will look into this more. I appreciate your comment.
Also I looked at my manual for the 2021, the 600 requires 2.5 L (2.64qt.- imagine trying to measure that out) and 900 reared 2.8L (2.96 quarts not 2.98quarts as stated above - I used my memory). I bought synthetic oil and they sent me 4 quarts. I sent a photo of the 2021 manual oil change through Facebook. I guess I get to save a quart per oil change for my 2021😎.
@@C8Z51Scott can-am sells pre measured kits for the 600 and 900
I have a 2022 rally with 350
Miles. Being store for winter now. Do I change the oil even though the mileage is so low?
Yes, change the oil every year, whether it needs it or not. I’d do it at the start of every riding season.
Great video. I do have one suggestion (only because you have a beautiful brick driveway). Lay a big piece of cardboard down under the front end to catch the drips from the drain plugs, etc. Big enough to set you oil drain pan and oily tools, drain bolts, etc. so your driveway brick don't get oil stained.
Awesome idea!! Thank you so much for watching!
Great video Beth! Thanks for sharing........... next time flatten a cardboard box and lay it on your driveway under the Ryker in order to protect that beautiful interlocking brick surface
Great idea!! Thanks!!
Great work Beth... I'll be doing the same video here in the next couple weeks... You did an amazing job..
Thanks BiLL I am pretty proud of this. I have never done an oil change before. Surprisingly easy.
Rapid Tac is your friend. For the future obviously. It allows placement easily and dries fast ensuring a good bond. I use it for vynal and window tint. Just thought I would share.
Thank you for sharing!!
Very good and informative! Thank you for this. Question about how many miles can you go on a full tank?
Hi Thanks for watching! I get about 110-1120 miles on a full tank. But I do a lot of hwy riding.
@@RykerRydes 1,120 miles for a full tank? Jesus, please tell me what kind of fuel you're using!
One other reason to oil up your O-rings is to keep them binding up between surfaces while tightening which can in some times can cause a leak.
Great point!! Thank you.
How about resetting the oil change reminder on the computer? Did you figure out how to do that?
Interesting, I have not had the code come up on mine yet. I have heard that if you disconnect the battery for 30 minutes, it will reset the code?
Awesome video! Where did you get your blue accent pieces? They look amazing!!
Thank you, they are from a car tinting place called 'Tint World'
Does oil get into your skid plate also when you open the bolt, mine does and starts leaking when I stop the bike in my garage from different holes in the skid plate lol it gets annoying!! Haha the first time freaked me out when I seen it.
I haven't done and oil change with the skid plate on it yet. The skid plate is very easy to take on and off. Once a year, it may just work better to take it off.
Ryker Rydes yeah will def take it off forsure next time thanks for these videos you are a ryker Pioneer!
Thanks Beth for the video! I was wondering how hard it is to change oil and filter. One thing I noticed Can Am has the specs for the Bolts. They had 30 NM or 22lbs ok then 15 NM or 18 lbs. The math doesn't work. I looked it up and it is 11 lbs for 15 NM. I know it doesn;t matter. You seemed very happy or I should almost say giddy, working with your husband. I just picked up my Rally today and yes I'm at work, but tomorrow I took the day off to ride. The first thing I did was to try out the horn. I am still laughing about the no horn situation. Thanks again
Hi Harry! To be completely honest (as you can probably tell from the video) I have no clue about NM. I basically just tightened everything really well! Yes the horn is a joke. Replacing it, should be the first thing anyone does! SUPER easy! Have fun tomorrow on your new Rally! So exciting! Congratulations!!
Nice job,get down and dirty...lol a big thumbs up.
Thanks Hector! It's fun to "get in it"!
Outstanding
Thanks so much for watching!
Haha. You are a trip. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Steve (lol), I appreciate you watching!
What if you forget to take out the 2nd drain plug? Does all the oild still come out?
I really don't think so. If you watch my video, you will see how much more comes out with the second plug. Maybe if you tilted the bike it would all come out?
On the oil change for my 600, the oil in the oil filter didn't drain and spill a decent amount into the skid plate. Did that happen to yours?
Ugh no!!! Not sure what happened. Did you take everything off in the same order as me? Maybe I took more time between steps, because I was filming? Not sure! Sorry that happened!
How do u check the coolant i heard there is a recall on the reservoir tank
I have not heard of any recall on that. If yours is leaking, bring it to the dealership right away. I have a video coming soon on checking and filling the coolant tank.
have a new 900 ryker. have you changed/added/or checked your gear oil?
No, but I will! Thanks for letting me know!
Does anyone know where you can get the oil kit from in Australia?
You should be able to buy a kit where you bought your bike?
How are you ? Hello from New Jersey I have the ryker rally 900 Question when can I do my first oil change ?
Hi there. You can change your oil at any time. For specific details and how to….check out the video. Lots of info in there.
Thanks 🙏🏼
Was that your first oil change or did you have to do a break-in oil change at 600 miles like the dealer wants but the manual never mentions ?
Hey John. This was my first oil change as per the manual. A lot of people do the oil change after breaking it in....I did not. But, it can never hurt.
It has a separate oil in on the other side. That funnel is also for the gas tank for when you use a canister.
Yes, the funnel can be used for both. Good observation.
Do you sell the filter and o rings for a 2022 spider f3
No, just for the Ryker. Sorry.
So do i use 2.5 quarts of oil? I ordered the oil change kit off Amazon. Should i use all of the oil or just 2.5?
If you ordered from the links I posted in the description(600 vs 900 are different links and different oil amounts) then you use the entire amount. It is pre-measured.
Don't know if those are the steps recommended in the owners manual, but it would probably be more efficient to pull the oil filter cover before draining the system.
Thanks for the video and tips.
It was a little while ago since I made this video, but Ido try to follow the owner's manual as closely as I can. I appreciate you watching.
Hi, does anyone know the dimensions of the two sealing washers under the oil drain plugs? Thank you
Sorry, I don't know the answer to that.
@@RykerRydes Never mind, maybe someone else.
Should I change my oil for the first time at 200 miles right after the brake in period
Ahhh the big oil change debate..... my experience: I changed my oil for the first time at 4,000 miles and I now have close to 25,000 miles on her and running great.
My manual (2019) states the first oil change should be done at 6,000 miles or 1 year (whichever comes first). I do believe the newer manuals state that the oil should be changed after the break in period.
My 2 cents: It can never hurt the bike to do too many oil changes. Is it necessary at 200 miles?...not sure. If you can afford it, or are able to do it yourself, why not do it. The bike does come with a magnetic drain plug that will catch any metal shavings that may come off during the break in period.
Bottom line, changing the oil is probably the single best thing you can do for your Ryker. I do it once a season, if it needs it or not.
Hi, so what did you learn while you were doing this the first time because i can tell that you did learn some things but i think listing them would help you and everyone else.
Thanks Beth & Jason. There are way too many people who dont know how to do basic maintainance on their car, or motorcycle.....
Yes I learned quite a bit! I will give you a more detailed answer when I get back from my vacation Thank you for watching!!
@@RykerRydes fun and safe vacation!
I love it when a woman can be self sufficient and not afraid to get her hands dirty and on top of that teach u something’s
Aww thank you. I love it!!!
So im at 4400k had my ryker for a year should i wait foe 6000k or do ir now
I change my oil every year, whether it needs it or not! Can only help, and not hurt. Very easy to do.
Ahoj. Super video! Taky si chci koupit Cam Am Ryker :-
Ahoj!! Děkuji za sledování!
Czech...how cool!
You want to drive for at least 10 miles to properly warm up your bike, do not let it sit and run because it will create moisture in the oil. Just FYI never run you bike or go for a ride that is less than 10 miles because of the moisture. Great video
Cool! Great info Tom!!
What if I bought my Ryker 2 years ago in it's first year and only rode it about 700 miles? Garaged in winter in unheated garage. Do I need to change my oil due to time or can I wait until I get 5000 miles on it?
Anyone have an answer?
Sorry for the delayed response. My friend is in the ICU from a bad accident. Yes, change the oil, it has been sitting too long. I change mine once a year no matter what.
Where did u get the cup holder???
www.providence-spyder-accessories.com/apps/webstore/products/show/7967053
Magnetic drain plug torque = 22 foot-pounds
Secondary plug torque = 133 inch-pounds = 11 foot-pounds
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!!
Excellent video. One question . . . in which of your other videos do you show jacking up the ryker? None of them seem to have that as a title.
Keep up the great work.
I was going to release that vid next week. Unless you need it sooner?
@@RykerRydes , Nah. I guess I misunderstood. Now I understand why I had not seen that one before. Thanks, Beth.
I did my first oil change on my rally, I put in the 3 quarts first and it read over the max fill by about a 1/4 inch. Any ideas why? It was a pain siphoning off the oil. I started it up and it was running like garbage. Knocking in the engine. I let it sit for a few hours. Checked the oil, it read between min and max. Warmed it up to operating level. Absolutely no oil on the dip stick. Let it sit overnight. Still no oil on the stick. Put more oil in to between min and max. Started it up. No more knocking, it was running and sounding fine. Anyone have any ideas as to how this could happen? It was soo odd.
There is a VERY SPECIFIC way to check the oil level. After the bike is warmed up, and you turned off the engine you have 15 s to check the oil before it is sucked back into the bike (which will give the illusion, when you pull your dipstick, that it has zero oil in it)
If the oil is leaking from the plug underneath after an oil change, is it possible the plug is too tight or not tight enough? Trying to debate whether I can just tighten it myself or return it to the dealership where they’ll have it for too long
It could definitely be that the plug is not on tight enough. Hopefully that’s what it is and not that you put the bolt in at angle and stripped the oil pan. 😬 Keep me posted.
@@RykerRydes thank you, I am going to check tonight. I had the dealership do the oil change but had I watched this video, I would have saved myself the time and money. I’ve learned my lesson
Is there a "Maintenance Required" light that needs to be reset?
Sorry for the late response, just saw this. No, maintenance light to reset. Great question!
