Painting Wheel Accent Inserts

Well I painted the inserts w/Sun Yellow Krylon spray paint. Matches my Shock Yellow really good!

I didn't spray white primer 1st, nor did I sand or degrease them either. Just sprayed a good coating on.

Re: Decisions, decisions, decisions

Well I need so me help. I have a slingshot right now. My knees and hips hurt after I ride for a bit. I'm 6ft 260 built like a football player. I enjoy riding the slingshot. I took a spyder riding class and fell in love. I like the more open feeling of the spyder. So then the ryker came out and I th...

Re: Gas fill cover

I put a wing nut on a lid from a jar of peanuts. Such a weird design, in my opinion. This is the way of the future apparently. Our new RV with Ford Transit chassis has a very similar thing; just a plastic flap that swings out to access the capless filler tube. BTW: What does the wing nut attach to?

Re: First oil change

When picking up mine, they said 1st oil change at 3,800 miles. But if MANUAL says 6,000, then it need NOT be done before that.

I think what happened is the wheel nut didn't get torqued to the 231 ft. lbs.

Easy To Install Cheap "Cruise Control"

Yellow Caterpillar o-rings make for a highly effective cruise control/throttle set. On one of my bikes, only one was required. On my last one, a Piaggio MP3 500 three wheeler, it required two. Still waiting on some to arrive for Ryker, but I will likely require 3 of them, as the gap between twist gr...

Re: What did you do to your Ryker today?

I painted the wheel accent inserts that came in today YELLOW. I'll let 'em dry overnight, and install tomorrow.

I also put a few miles on it, riding to my chiropractor, then Big Lots, then Family Dollar, the a dollar store/pharmacy.

At 350 Miles, A Tapping Sound At Idle That Comes & Goes

At some red lights the engine taps, and others it does not while idling. Also, if I slightly rev it, the tapping goes away. It is a metallic sound (not plastic). I'm pretty sure it is the clutch.

Anyone else experience this anomaly?
