So I’ve watched several of your videos and - first off, I really like that you don’t edit when a part/bolt/panel is being difficult to remove. I appreciate that instead of you just showing a seemingly seamless process during an install that indicates a simple process - you actually show the true hassle that sometimes comes with working on a Ryker. Seriously, thank you for doing that. I have installed a few upgrades or added items to my Ryker in the past few months and frequently I’ve cursed my Ryker and the difficult issues that -kind of- frequently arise. Anyways, since you have a large knowledge of Ryker stuff I wanted to ask you a question about the sway bar kit. I notice that I get some “hopping” at times during cornering - especially if I roll on the throttle in the middle of the corner. The “hop’ is the best way I can describe the feeling and it comes from the outside front tire depending on which direction the corner is going. I have read as much as I can find about it, but honestly there isn’t a whole lot out there that covers this issue. I have tried front shock adjustments, front tire PSI changes, and adjustments to the main suspension under the seat (sorry I don’t know what that spring is actually called). Nothing has really worked - at least that is truly noticeable. Crazy thing is that I can go into a corner at X mph and get the “hop” and then turn around and replicate the same speed and corner and NOT get the “hop”. It seems inconsistent. So….. my long drawn out comment leads to this: I’ve ordered the Baja Ron’s sway bar kit and links hoping that it will - at least make things consistent - and at best, stop the “hopping”. Is it your thoughts that by replacing the sway bar and links this will help my issues? I’m going to do the upgrade either way you’d respond - but if you have another thought as to why I’m dealing with this problem I’m all ears. Thanks for all you post and I appreciate your time you put into these videos.

If you are still experiencing the hoping, you may want to try the steering stabilizer bar: www.rykerrydes.com/product-page/rykermod-steering-stabilizer-damper-bracket-kit-with-jfg-racing-stabilizer Please keep me posted on how the sway bar works for you.

Hi George! I am impressed with myself too! This was the most involved install I have ever done. And it wasn't too bad. If it wasn't 110 degrees out and trying to talk through to make the video, it probably would have taken half the time to do! lol And yes, the videos are always more enjoyable to make and watch when there are other people in it.

That bit with the Grinder was some Tense Viewing - lol -- but for anyone without a power tool - it only took me about 15 minutes with a 7 dollar hacksaw to cut through the old OEM sway bar. Just goes to show how soft that old swaybar's steel was. Baja Ron's Swaybar is MUCH MUCH more firm Carbonized steel and makes a huge difference. Just watch Beth here for the install and you'll be good.

Great job Beth. I couldn't be bothered to get so involved so I had the dealer do mine a few weeks ago. For those curious, my dealer charged $150 for the install. They gave back the original bar. I guess maybe if I had told them to cut it maybe the labor would have been less.

Chrysler used to make bars like that for front suspension. I’ve seen the bars split in half when you tighten them. To lift the front end of the car so it would increase ride height of the front of the car and when they let go it’s a very loud bang! They use the torsion bar instead of coil springs. This application is for anti-sway to stop the bike from being too soft riding side to side motion.🙋🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

What type of camera set up do you have on your helmet and what type of communication device are you using while you’re driving?

Can you let me know and possibly give us a short three minute video on what your helmet set up looks like and your communication and video devices?

Omg! I love my sway bar. Best accessory you can do for your Ryker! Just curious, why do you think the other bars are more solid?

Is there a possibility of this voiding the warranty? I know if I purchase the original OEM sway bar it won’t.

Great question!!! My warranty is over, so I did not even think of this. It is worth a call to your dealership to verify before buying.

Is there a size difference between the stock bar and the new bar? Thicker in diameter? No one mentions that... side by side comparison!
@RykerRydes3 жыл бұрын
Hi David, it is the exact same size in diameter.
@enganear2 жыл бұрын
If the replacement bar is 13mm, what is the diameter of the stock bar? They look very similar...
@RykerRydes2 жыл бұрын
Great question. Baja Ron’s sway bar is slightly bigger in diameter. But the big difference is the strength of the bar. It’s hard to explain, but you will 💯 feel the difference on your first ride. 1,000’s of customers can’t be wrong. 😉
@enganear2 жыл бұрын
@@RykerRydes what you feel is a difference in torsional stiffness of the bar. Strength is completely different. Torsional stiffness varies only a little from mild steel to the most exotic alloys, it is diameter that makes the big difference, hence my question. For example, the torsional rigidity varies as the 4th power of the diameter. If the stock bar is 12mm, a 13mm bar will be ~38% stiffer. I don't have my Ryker yet, only a pre order. I am a retired mechanical engineer. :)

OH no!! Is it possible the dealer installed it improperly? Can you sent me pictures? PS Find Baja Ron online and talk to him about it. He is an amazing man and will defiantly help you through this! My guess is (and I am NOT a mechanic) it is something else with our bike. Could be something simple like tire pressure or you may need a laser alignment? Please contact Ron! Tell him I sent you!

Hey John!! The entire kit is $279. Is it worth it? I guess that depends on what kind of riding you do. Do you leisurely ride around side streets, then probably not. But if you are more of a spited rider, like me, then yes. Hope this helps. You may consider buying just the links. Very easy install and gives you the most bang for your buck...in my opinion.

I installed the BaJa Ron sway bar and end links today. OMG, those bushing nuts were a MoFo to get to. I happened upon a video by El Williams ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pc1nnb18p7uwZX0.html ). He used duct tape on one finger and stuck the nut to it. Then reached around the back and felt for the bolt coming through and while turning the bolt waiting for the nut to catch. I know it sounds crazy but it worked like a champ. I was able to do this with just me. I would say that out of the whole project getting the rubber bushings in place and bolted down was the toughest part.

Interesting, yes. That appears to be a diamond abrasive blade. It is, yes, primarily used and marketed as a concrete saw, but, it is still a diamond abrasive blade. Those can pretty much be used for metal cutting also. The holes help keep the blade clean of small cut up debris in the blade and with blade cooling. Good observation, though.
