Can Am Ryker Reverse Lever Modification 

I love this!!!! Finally a woman’s perspective. Most video’s men post make it look so easy but when I got to do it, like yourself, its harder than expected.

I replaced mine, the long lever makes it so easy and can be fitted in about 15 minutes if you have the right tools. I love your videos, my Ryker actually has only 4,000km on the clock, it is virtually brand new. I am 67 years old and have Cancer, my Ryker gives me joy and happiness. I live in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. Thank You again, Dear Lady.

So I had to return back to your channel to personally say thank you for this video! I got my bike a week ago. I knew nothing, the manually has literally been how I have learned to ride. (I have class this weekend) Any way the forward and reverse pedal has been an absolute pain. I am 5'2. After watching this video. I ordered the lever from Amazon. The entire install took about 20 mins, thanks to you (the hand sanitizer works). And this has been a complete game changer! Thank you so much! I also got the throttle hand rest. Next up is the brake lock (I got pre-drilled hole) and horn! You seriously are making this so easy! you are amazing!

I got my 2020 Ryker 900 a couple of weeks ago and thanks to your many helpful videos that i watched before acquiring it I was ready for this mod in particular. For anybody contemplating the shifter mod here's a trick to get that rubber off the existing lever and back on without raising a sweat. No need to wrestle getting that rubber off. here's the trick. Use a hair dryer on hi and hot heat. Heat the rubber, it expands and it comes off quite easily but you do have to pull and wiggle it a bit. Getting it back on is also easy...put some dish detergent inside the rubber and on the shaft and it goes back on very easily. Hope this helps somebody. Motor on! Ryker on!

I took a razor blade and cut the rubber about half an inch it came off easy. I then took some rubber super glue to put it back together. Worked great and took Less than a minute. Thanks for the video.

Great Video! I just completed this install. FYI for you future viewers... I used a spark plug socket and a mallet to force, ah encourage the shifter arm back enough for the rubber to fit. Thank you for video!!

You are OK in my eyes, I bought a 2019 Ryker with 14,000km on the clock for AU$13,000. I like your videos, I have had my driver's license for over 50 years now.

This coming Saturday i will be getting my first 3wheeled motorcycle it will be a Ryker i will be customizing it to my liking.i love your videos they are very informative. I love a woman that does her own work .I do my own work on my vehicle too.

I'm not sure how many Ryker diy videos are on RU-vid, but as long as your pretty feet and cute toes keep showing up then so will I. You do a great job on your trike and your feet and your toes.

(I understand this is done already..) To make it go past the hump, take a small file, file down the hump and paint, file off the ridges on the extra peddle. Then tighten the stuff out of the bolt, and add a bit of lock tight to make sure the extra peddle doesn't move. The rubber gromit on the main peddle, one could use a pair of channel locks and a heat gun or blow dryer and heat and twist.

Omg your amazing for posting all these videos it's allowed me to be independent and do modifications in my own I appreciate you

I am just catching up to all your video's. You had the same reaction I did when I installed my shift! Being 4'11 that thing is a life saver. 🤣 I have to do all my projects when my husband isn't home because he is always trying to help. Not bad any other time but these projects I like doing on my own. Keep up the great work!

Vice-grips makes a wide-mouth grip that grabs the entire rubber piece and it was easy to remove in 2 twists. I have always heard that the key to working efficiently is having the right tool for the job, and that certainly played out. I wish I could figure out how to upload photos for you to see.

I have this one on my Bike. And Watch your Video to install mine. Love your Videos. Very Helpful for us Newbies.

Wow...good job. In order to get my rubber thing off I had to cut it with a box cutter. Even then it was a nightmare. But I wasn’t reusing it so it was ok. I replaced it with the one from Slingmods.

Omg just bought my Rally this week and this is a game changer!!!!! You already helped with a trailer recommendation! Thank you from another Ryker Women!

I'm 66 and I just bought a 2022 Ryker 600 with 6 miles on it, I know what your thinking, to many 6's right? ANYWAY, my son-in-law pointed out to me that all I had to do was push down with my foot and the lever would slide back into reverse. It took a few tries but, I managed to do it and with regular practice it will get easier. But, I love your video's they are so helpful for us newbies especially, thank you for all that you do.

I went through almost the same setup and hassles as this, then I realized you can simply adjust (1 screw) the stock lever into a better position that works for us short leggers. 👍

This is very early on in your journey with the ryker. No carolina blue stripes or other mods. Keep the videos coming!

Yes. Bill Ramseyer is awesome. Thank you Ryker Rydes for video ^5 looks great

Love your videos! My husband watches them too! Thank you!

Thank You! I was also watching Bill's vlogs, too. My project is going to be the key lock for the brake. And then the lock for the frunk:-) great videos.

Kudos to you on doing the mods on your own!! Best of luck to you! ...in regards to the time reported/time spent for these jobs-don’t worry, it’s HARDLY EVER as quick as they report it to be!

Hit the rubber grommet with a heat gun to remove and install. The tightening screw on the lever you put in the threaded side with a little plate covering the hole and you can crank that open far enough toOpen up the hole to slide on and tap the rest of the way with a deep well socket.

First time viewer. Don't have a Ryker,, would like one but, I have Parkinson's. So I. will use your videos as the next best thing. Starting with this video, and working my way up to the latest. Great job, really 👍 your channel.

With motorcycle grips they have glue on them.if you stick a screwdriver in the end between the handle bar in the grip spray WD-40 in there... Work the screwdriver around it breaks all the glue free. I think an eyeglass repair kit screwdriver and some WD 40 would work good on this

Thank you so much. Will help my wife and daughter very much. 😀

Nice job it’s helpful

Great videos 😲🤌 good work!

Hey great video....

I suggest instead of hand sanitizer using Dawn (or any other brand) dishwashing soap for slipping the rubber lever cover back on. It has slicker lubricating properties than the sanitizer & any excess goes away during the next wash job or rainy day ryde.

Thanks for all your videos. You sure help me a lot in the beginning with the Ryker.

FYI use stationary cameras while doing modifications. Single handed videos really will degrade your endeavors to achieve best performing youtube videos. Best way to mount the gearshift lever is to use a deep socket and place over the foot peg and rest it against the gearshift handle and use a scrap piece of wood so that you don't damaged your socket. Hit with a 3 lbs sledge hammer and that gearshift lever will seat itself nicely onto the foot peg.

Nice shifter mod. I'm a 6' guy and have to hand pull the lever for reverse. I also don't care for the hand shifter mod. Will give your's a try

Thank-you so much, all I need to do is find someone to do it for me.

Hi Beth! I just found your channel and have been interested in a ryker. I actually sat on a used one at the dealer. They were moving things around and my husband got there attention and had the guy stop to see if I could sit on one, which they did, but that person ask me to try to turn the bars to see if I was strong enough without moving the bike. I found it was actually hard to turn the bars and the bike had a lot of vibration. So I lost interest. I earned my endorsement in 2019 and ride a 250 Honda Rebel. I m almost 5 3". We were at the Tail of the dragon recently and notice a few women that looked my size riding the ryker. My question, is it hard to turn the bars while riding? Does your bike have a lot of vibration? I would appreciate your answer. I haven't seen all your video's, maybe you have all ready address this is so please direct me to which one to watch. Thanks I will be looking through your channel! ;) Again appreciate it very much!

Please shoot your videos in landscape instead of portrait mode, like everyone else. So hard to watch portrait mode..

Hey beth! I see you've changed out your Black Panels for blue ones. I too bought mine used, which didn't have the colors I wanted but I'm dealing with. Might I ask what you did with your black ones, and if you'd be willing to sell them to me?! Thanks for the vid!

Do you still have this mod on your Ryker? Have change/updated it?

Great video. Thank you!

Brilliant ... Well done! 👍😆🤟🇦🇺 Beanie

Greetings from Va.😊

love your videos new sub here cant wait to get mine in jan...2021

Awesome idea 👍

What about cutting the rubber part to make it shorter ?

A question, you seem to have had a hard time putting all the stock lever cover and the like back on. I would suggest you get an angle grinder and get rid of that useless section. That is what I am going to mine. Cheers, Cookey.

What size is the rubber part that's on the shift lever ? Is there a shifter with a bigger diameter than the rubber part, that can slide over it and be tightened down ? 🤔

I’m curious, could you have installed it to point upwards and used it as a hand lever as well? Or would it still have been to far and uncomfortable to use it that way?

Saw your vidio on replacing the shifter. How about the suiside shift?

*Currently cursing at my reverse lever attempt one second at a time* 🤬🤬🤬

Where can I buy that? Thank you

We enjoy your channel

Heat it with a hairdrier

Where did you purchase it from...

Where did you buy your used bike?

I'm in California, what state your in?

How much did you pay for your used Ryker?
