That’s It.., I Quit..!!! • A Ryker 600 Does Me In! | TheSmoaks Vlog_1355

[@slyguyaction]

Here I am two years later watching you ride a Ryker 600. We love ours. Haha. Thanks Shawn!!

[@chrisburson5719]

Guess it pays to check your lights before you leave your house or garage. Great video Shawn, I'd like to get a ryker 600 one day

[@-jackinspokane6648]

Hi Shawn, Being a tech myself (Electronics) I can sympathize with you on not being compensated for troubleshooting an undocumented problem. But… finding an undocumented manufacturing flaw not only should you get your time reimbursed, but given a bonus for publishing it. I do enjoy most of your after-work rides, but your motorcycle tips are why I’m here. I did enjoy meeting you and Kelly that one summer and you know I'll drop in again the next time I’m near Vancouver. Ride safe. -JackinSpokane

[@rejji7]

you have a good riding spirit and personality, you still got to the root of the issue and you taught us something else, thank you. Happy, safe riding

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

I appreciate that!

[@jamesgruhn-n0dfi647]

Good find Shawn. We all knew you would get it fixed. Now just slide through Friday and start your weekend

[@petertrapani8701]

Shawn thanks for the ride. Glad you were able to fix it. Cool tech stuff. You and Kelly enjoy your weekend. Be Cool and Ride Safe🇺🇸🏍🐶

[@harryparmley1193]

And here I've been extolling the turn signal switch on the Ryker versus the switch on the Spyder..! It's still a frequent annoyance cancelling the turn signal on the Spyder, but no more. I don't need any mystery signals on the Spyder! Thank ALOT for the vlog and another of your subscribers for the info. Love to learn new things while enjoying your vlog. Be safe..!

[@gerrywood5325]

All you need to do is get yourself a Ryker 600 and then you and Kelly can switch out, like, every other rip and both of you can be happy as a couple of birds in a brand new nest. Oh, and you'll probably need a bigger garage otherwise you won't be able to move around with all the bikes. Talk about the confusion of trying to decide which bike to ride on any particular evening!

[@777queens]

I have a riker 900 and I love riding it and I love watching your blogs thank you so much for your time and effort I really do enjoy them all

[@bugs181]

Because of your videos and some other rider's, my wife and I decided to commit and pick one up next spring/summer. Hopefully, we will be able to go to the Can-Am training program next year before that. We live in a pretty rough road area so we're thinking of giving the Rally a go. Looks like it has better suspension, tires, and a tad more ground clearance. We absolutely LOVE your channel. Keep up the great work!

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Great to hear, you guys will have a blast..! Thanks so much!!

[@dwaynemurphy814]

SEE, you can teach an old dog a new trick, we learn something new every day. I make a habit to check my lights before anything, that's my OCD, everything in a order, never different.

[@dnegrichjr]

But this is why you are so great. We get to see bikes, scenery and learn something.

[@donaldsoncole3095]

This Bike is starting to peak my interest!!! Great for riding in the country around Pennsylvania and Maryland!!! 😎

[@busrolla]

So wholesome and honest. I love watching your guys' videos! Also I feel like were from the same area!!

[@TJRohyans]

How incredibly frustrating! BRP needs to give a better "explanation" of their "exclamation" mark and what it represents when it appears. Maybe someday soon y'all can make a trip eastward in the state to the Spokane area and show the world its beauty? It's Fri-Yay! I hope it's a great one! Peace and love.

[@anthonythomas8773]

I know how you feel, had a 99 Camaro and the cruise control stopped working, turns out one of the bulbs in the third break light went out and that's why the cruise control stopped working, what the hell.

[@athollmcnicoll256]

See even a so called expert can learn a new fact each day, cheers John and the Missus.

[@Walts-Travel]

Dude you have just broke 19K SUBS!!!!! Way to Go!!! 👊😎

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Thanks Walter!!

[@gregormiller4037]

WOOT!!

[@N3RPB]

Nice catch by a viewer. It has to be frustrating as a tech that there is no explanation on what criteria is used to activate the indicator and that no code is generated, giving no idea on where to start looking.

[@fatguy8067]

It was something weird that caused the problem, but with a little help You found it, Thanks for taking Us along on the Rip.

[@brianjohnson148]

Hey, my favorite parts counter lady Kelly! I’m always at pro caliber.

[@mariob7626]

Love how you can just cruise without traffic. I want one but sadly NYC streets and highways 🛣 sucks

[@matthewdooley6485]

Shawn most of us have done that some time in our lives. I know I have done that, something had me scratching my head. Someone comes along & boom points out something so obvious, that if it had been a snake it would have bitten me. That's when we are even harder on ourselves......lol

[@samsmithmotovlogs]

It happens. What is the saying:“When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras”? Good job!

[@HARMARSCH2]

TGIF Kelly and Shawn. 😊 I knew you’d figure out what the issue was with The Ryker. At least you know how a 600 handles the Highway. 😊

[@pjfrog10]

I always enjoy a rip on a 600. One of these days Lord Willing I’ll have one of those beauties.

[@ronmack1230]

Love the energy

[@skesby]

After watching a couple of videos of this vehicle: It always sounds like it is sitting at really high revs, like it needs to change gears!

[@justint1181]

not leaving space in-between vehicles must be a Portland/Vancouver thing! Whenever I park in a mostly empty lot, some jerk ALWAYS parks immediately next to me!

[@gustwowheeling7337]

Glad you got the Ryker squared away. It happens to me a lot, always running out of turn signal fluid. Good stuff, Smoak!

[@gregkamer3754]

At least you were able to connect the dots and work it out. Who would of thunk.....

[@athollmcnicoll256]

Sorry wrong identifier, meant Shawn not John - Oops!!

[@fullmoon2614]

That is what you call Spyder family taking care of their own. LOL. Stay safe and enjoy!!!!!!

[@albertosbrolla8424]

That sure was a brain buster, but at least the problem is solved! Sure was a nice test ride!👍

[@jamesgunn8544]

Thank you for the video, I've been trying to decide if I should get the Ryker and I really feel like I should.

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

You should!

[@ROLLIN-DUB]

Crystal clear videos- great content

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Thanks Rollin!!

[@p.e.phillips8488]

Noticed you kept saying you really liked the 600. Getting ready to buy soon, was looking at the 900, but wondering if the 600 would be cool. Can’t get a straight answer on how fast either goes. What’s your thoughts/opinion on the 600 vs 900? Thanx in advance!

[@davidleoncampbell]

Yep, the simplest things can cause headaches...Apollo 13 blew a major hole in the command module due to a bad $5 sensor...

[@chrismills4213]

Yes I just knew you would work it out, better that it is simple and a easy fix than a major issue for the customer. The 600 is interesting, spunky bike and very cool👍

[@igorgetsin3646]

I once spent 3 hours in the middle of the night with a Mazda3 refusing to disengage gearshift when depressing the break pedal. In campground, hooked up to a jet ski trailer. Thank, gd for Internet. Turns out it was a blown fuse for rear break light. Are you kidding me? Did they actually design the wiring that way or it just sort of happened?

[@DouglasLJr]

What's wild but just think of all of the extra Ryker seat time you got out of this :)

[@GopherChoker.]

👍👋👍 Kelly’s nails are bright...☀️

[@henryhonda8408]

Enjoy your upcoming weekend!!! It's a LONG weekend up here in Canada...... :)

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Thanks, hope you enjoy your long weekend..! 👍

[@kelliewilliams9366]

Hey there. I am trying to decide weather to get a 600 or 900. I would be more city driving but would it do a road trip? No more than 2 hours highway driving some back roads. Nothing too extensive. What do you think? Thanks

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Yes, absolutely..! Thanks Kellie!!

[@j_boogie_483]

I'm in the same situation. I'll ride mostly city/around town, but I would like to do one or two longer distance rides that will have ~75-80mph freeway cruising... is the 600 powerful enough?

[@daybyday9542]

@@j_boogie_483 its great on the highway i have a 600 and do it all the time ...but its a personal preference..test ride both

[@martin7473]

I got a rally 900 .. its great ... go for 900 ..

[@thatOGalex]

What camera and mic set up are you using ? I get a lot more wind noise than you do. I’m trying to get less.

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

This is my budget LS2 work helmet with an old Hero5 Black and a cheap sony lapel mic stuffed in a cheek pad... Lol Thanks!!

[@billcotton1551]

This would be tough to diagnose that one while your operating the bike.

[@BLRTUNING]

Great video buddy ,,,,, very informational...

[@davidleoncampbell]

SInce the Ryker has no windshield, how is the chest pressure when riding at higher speeds?

[@hillie47]

About 6 weeks ago I switched from a semi-ADV bike (Honda CB500X) to a naked (Kawasaki Z900RS) and at first I had to get used to it. The small windscreen on the Honda was kind of a pain as it would create a half-funnel of the air going to my torso being redirected to my helmet. So the funnel effect is gone on the naked, making it easier on my head, but I got some wind on the chest in return. Less buffeting/hammering too, it's more a consistent airflow, less variation. You get used to it after a little while, it's honestly no problem anymore, for me at least. It'll vary from person to person of course, some need to full fairing and high screen setup to be able to ride comfortably, others don't.

[@squiddly-diddly]

That bubble of joy...it's why we ride ain't it....

[@robertarton6141]

With a better seat could you ride 150 to 200 miles in a day?

[@bigjames6719]

Thank you for sharing ride safe be safe out thee 🏍👊✌️ lol

[@James48535]

Shawn you and Corey should plan a trip to go on together when you both have the time to do plan a trip and go on the trip

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

He and I were discussing just that..! Thanks James!

[@James48535]

TheSmoaksVlogs ,three great minds think a like Shawn

[@telescope2067]

Ya'll are good people.

[@edsantana2868]

you did what a tech is supposed to do. Find the problem.

[@MrInternationalSound]

Good vid

[@Leaffaninaz]

That’s one of those problems, if you ever see it again or if you need to offer help to someone else, you will look like the can am god! Pure genius!!! Lol

[@lloydmedley1087]

Can you tell me what is the VSS code on a ryker

[@davidleoncampbell]

what!!! you didn't T-CLOCK before you rode it...shame on you....LOL

[@franciscorobson7472]

Gostei 😎😁🤗👍🇧🇷
