Great video, love your honest approach and informative style. Thanks for taking the time to do this for the rest of us. Finally went to the dealer a couple of weeks ago and really think I am going to get one, might have to wait for the virus thing to pass , here even driving tests are suspended. Thanks again Mike Canada
After riding two wheeled motorcycles for decades we had to go to a three wheeler. We tried a Gold Wing trike but didn't like the way it handled. Then we trird a couple of Spyders, once again we didn't like the way they handled. So we went to a HD Tr-Glide which handled much better than the Gold WIng or Spyders. We 've had two HD Tri-Glides and put on over 30,000 miles on them. But after our son had a stroke which crippled his left side to where he can no longer operate a hand clutch or foot shifter of a regular motorcycle we bought him a Ryker. I drove it home at night, in the rain, and 52 degrees(f) and had fun every mile. The Harley has kept us out there enjoying motorcycling, but the Ryker is way more fun. We had to go to a trike after my wife battled cancer eight times and has to walk with a walker. She walks out in the garage, climbs on the trike and we go for a ride when ever the weather permits. Like I said before, the Harley has kept us riding, but the Ryker is FUN. So when I get ready to trade next time I'll be looking at a Ryker. We are old and I'd equipped it for us old folks, with a passenger seat, windshield, electronic cruise control, and a three piece luggage outfit I saw on SlingMods that has a top trunk and two hard saddle bags. With all this and maybe the stronger rear spring for the shock I'd still only have about $15000 invested in it instead of the $37,000 the Halrey cost and I KNOW I'd have more fun on the Ryker. To me this explains it all......RYKER = FUN FUN FUN.
I'm still digging my Rally. I mostly ride dirt but can handle 60mph on dirt easily. I've had it up to 70mph but then the butt starts clenching a bit. 😂 I'm also still riding it in 20°F or colder weather with my Gerbing gloves and jacket liner. Mine is seriously dirty because there are no car washes or any hoses that are not frozen, so I just gotta hope the cold breaks soon and give her a well deserved bath! Have a great day and stay safe!
I have the rally Edition I never had a swaying problem. I took 1 to 2 hour ride on mines and I love it feel good special with the new Comfort seat on it. And this was on the interstate it rides great.
@@Jeep-Addicts yes get it is a whole lot better than the seat that comes with it. Don't get me wrong this eat that it come with is comfortable but not as comfortable as the Comfort Seats. You will know the difference yes sir.
I have a 2022 rally and i don't experience the back wheel wondering at all, doesnt matter what speed i am going, i do agree try to avoid running over objects or pot holes with your back wheel, you will definatley feel the bump.
That twitch and wondering at highway speeds would drive me nuts. I test rode a Rally Edition and as soon as I got it on the highway I knew if that is normal, I didn't want one of these. If it wasn't for that it would be top of the list for my next ride.
2wrdr don’t blame you, lucky for me it’s a short trip on the highway. It does drive me nuts and I just go with it but look drunk going down the road. Paul
@@user-sw2lv3zp6o And much bulkier/heavier. Also doesn't come with the no tools ergo adjustment like the Ryker. The no parts/no tools ergo adjustments is a major plus for me. It seems crazy how highway reviews for the Rykers are all over the place. Some people have no issues at all with it. Makes me wonder about alignments and or possible factory issues.
My 600 doesn’t sway and I don’t have a sway bar. I’ve had it up to 70 mph so far. Just went 82 today going up a nice back road with little traffic on it. Still had a little left.
Big thanks. Enjoyed everything, good and the bad. Great videos from the beginning. Would stiffer sway bars get rid of the wiggle when your Not on high centered highway? Five Thousand...WOW
Paul, i havent had the issue with the rear wondering. I also found white and black rubber boots for the inside of the axels. I contacted BRP about the rusting axels, they said they had not received any reports about them rusting...
Hi Paul love your videos, on the rust on the wheels have I heard about the Lamonster Nuts wheels caps look into it, I haven't bought my Ryker yet but I planning on getting one this year. How bad on Debris and the Wondering?
I have not but now I have. I will have to look them up. You ok I got use to the wandering and some roads are worse then others. Debris is not bad here in Lynchburg VA except for dead animals. In a bigger city it might be a job to watch out for stuff that falls off trucks or parts of cars. Thanks for the tip I will check them out. Paul
I haven't watched your prior videos, so I don't know if you've adjusted the preload on the rear shock or not. Our Ryker 900 felt super twitchy and wandered a lot when we first got it, but bumping up the preload fixed a lot of that for us.
@@Jeep-Addicts I didn't expect it as I was mostly doing it to raise the bike a bit for my wife. We settled on the number 4 position and that had worked pretty well for us. As an added benefit, it should give you a bit more clearance for those speed bumps.
Great videos one question have you had to change the belt yet. I know on the snowmobiles they dont last long was wondering if its the same with these ?
Marvin if you run over the pot hole it man hole between the front tire and back wheel you can miss the pot hole and man hole. But sometime you just can’t do it.
Looking at getting the 600cc. I would ride it to work everyday during the summer. Would the 600cc be ok to do 70mph 12 miles on the freeway? Or would the rpms be way to high? Don't really have the extra $1,500 to spend for the 900cc but I will spend it, if it would be safer for the freeway. Thanks!
Donavin A. I am not sure sorry, my RPM at 65 is about 6000. I think it will do fine but I will look at other people posts and if I find something out will let you know. Paul
@@Jeep-Addicts Found your link in your video. also subed your channel. I have a 2018 F3 Limited. Were having a Spyder Rendezvous June 12-14 2020 in Johnson Creek WI.

Been following your vids since the beginning. We really like our 600. Keep up the great work.

Alright Eeyore 20deg takes big ones. Good job friend. Paul
I will get my 900 on the first week of April. Can't wait anymore.
Pstealth excellent my friend be safe. Paul

Kway 0599 thanks. Paul
You're right. Three-track vehicles hit all the bumps. The wandering would stop me buying one of these.
1990 you get use to it but it annoying at times. Paul

The bigger Can-am F3-S doesn't sway at all. The most stable 'bike' I've ever ridden. Expensive, though.

pjfrog10 mine either and I have gone 80mph 🤫
Long distance trips are great. My wife rode hers 750 miles down to florida and 750 miles back to SC in January. No problemo.
Christopher pig that’s awesome!! How did you do lounge?? Paul
@@Jeep-Addicts I was on my HD with her for that trip. She has also done a few 350 mile day trips on the ryker. Its definitely designed for 1 person.

Tom Mc lemore I don’t think so about the sway bar. I think it is the nature of three wheels. Many thanks Paul
Paul, i havent had the issue with the rear wondering. I also found white and black rubber boots for the inside of the axels.
I contacted BRP about the rusting axels, they said they had not received any reports about them rusting...
Coy Hilron thanks, do you have the information on the boots? Paul
@@Jeep-Addicts Hi Paul. I do have it im just smoked right now. But ill have it out to you this weekend. Good Video!
Congrats! Good to see your experience....till now. Glad to hear about the windshield. What brand of gear for rain did you purchase?
randy k the coveralls I have had for years since I had my bike the jacket is an Olympia which works ok.
@@Jeep-Addicts thank you

Great videos one question have you had to change the belt yet. I know on the snowmobiles they dont last long was wondering if its the same with these ?
Not yet but I need to soon.
Thanks for the update! Do you keep it in a garage?
Scott 56 during the winter but cover it every day when out side. Paul
Jay Leno said it best. 3 wheelers hit every pothole, its just the nature of these bikes.
Marvin if you run over the pot hole it man hole between the front tire and back wheel you can miss the pot hole and man hole. But sometime you just can’t do it.
What kind of range on a tank of fuel?
You mentioned you would sell it if the opportunity presented itself. If so, I'm interested in knowing what would you replace it with?
Dannon Monroe probably a spider F3 the sporty model not the gold wing looking one with all the bags and finder glass. Paul

If you put a car tire on the back as some suggest it will probably not fit under that tight fender
Bernard Ricca it has to be really low profile. Paul
You dont Have a Tutorial on How you installed your fog Lights?!
nitrogeno 2012 I believe I did one I’ll check if not I’ll make one this week. Very easy. Paul
@@Jeep-Addicts thanks🙏
Toledo!!!!
Is it possible to through in a link for your aftermarket driving lights?
hastolloy I’ll look for it and let you know. I have it on a video way back but I’ll look it up tonight. Paul
@@Jeep-Addicts Found your link in your video. also subed your channel. I have a 2018 F3 Limited. Were having a Spyder Rendezvous June 12-14 2020 in Johnson Creek WI.
they sit very low to the ground do you ever have it bottom out when driving on gravel roads
No just don’t go to fast.
What kind of mpg are you getting with that air filter?
I honestly have not checked it since I change it and modified the intake. I will next week. Paul
What model do you have and there is big difference between the 600 and the 900 series?
David Knotts I have the 900 and have heard there is not much difference between the two. Paul
Except escape power
why would you sell it? and what would you replace it with?
Orion Kacey I am looking at an F3 sport. I like the bigger size but still very sporty. Paul
Is that a can am helmet you have there?
Sorry for the late response no its a scorpion 950 modular. Paul

I did, has lots of room but for me looks to bulky for such a small bike. Its just me. Paul
