Brake Effort too high.

Yeah, I know, I'm used to power brakes but the brakes on my Ryker Rally require an insane amount of pressure to achieve max braking. I'll be looking for more aggressive pads or something to fix this.

Engine venting oil?

All 75 miles home, very conservative driving mostly interstate, was a great ride, no problems. But next to my house is a wide open area where it's safe to practice handling so I practiced that, working gradually up to the limits. Last five minutes was constant max hard turns in both directions. Then...

Re: New to the Ryker forum? Feel free to introduce yourself here!

The good news: First Ryker Rally ride yesterday when I drove it home from the store. Been looking for an alternative to my Kawi Versys for two-up riding since I'm getting too busted up and old to feel comfortable doing it anymore on MC. I bought a Slingshot back in 15 but it's really a car, speciall...
