In this video I show you how to open the body like a clamshell to expose complete access to the entire motor transmission air box and the framework. Please keep in mind the only reason I removed the glove box and the two color panels is because on my Ryker 900 I am using the cable that goes from the parking brake up to the glove box which locks the glove box when the parking brake is applied. this is a very common modification from slingmods. If you do not have anything like this installed on your Can-Am Ryker you will not need to remove the colored panels or the glove box.

Thank you for taking the time to do a video. It’s helps your fellow riders do a lot at home.
Thank you, Bill! I wouldn't have known where to start without your video.
Glad I could help
Many thanks! This video is spot on. And you were right - do it once and you can almost do it with your eyes closed. Your clips and suggestions were excellent.
Thank you Bill a great step by step. Retired Navy Girl in Williamsburg VA
Really appreciate this video. I just bought the new solo driver seat (for too much) and the clips require opening the clamshell body to secure the seat. Snap-in clips like the comfort seat would be logical, but no..! It's obviously a moneymaker for BRP techs, as it's no small task to install. I'm old but tool-savvy and I will prevail with your video. Thanks..!!
Follow the steps in the video you got this don't pay somebody else to do it buddy..
Thank you for sharing this video. I love the step by step videos that you provide us Ryker Owners.
Glad my videos helped you out. Thank you for subscribing to the channel.
Huge thank you for this video!
I bought my ryker yesterday and this afternoon I stupidly thought 'I wonder how the seat comes off'... Thus I spent a good couple of hours taking the whole thing apart, putting the seat back on, and putting it back together! At least I learnt a lot.
Really strange design choice to have to lift the clamshell to put the stock seat on, especially when their comfort one just clips in!
Amazing video!! Thank you sir. I wanted to install my brake lock the proper way and this helped A LOT!!!! I could have drilled a hole and installed the small lock but I like tinkering.
Thanx Bill just used this to put your grill in and the solo driver seat. So easy ty
Great information Bill, Greatly Appreciated
Bro love your channel...i have learned a lot..thanks for taking time to make these video’s
Thank you Bill you’ve helped me so many times😎👍🏻✨
Awesome!!!! Thanks for the video!
Big thank you for the video!
Great video Bill
Keek Thank you for the excellent video. I watch all your videos you help me a lot.
Thank you for the support I appreciate it
Very good video I appreciate it.
Great job with step by step instructions
Thank you
Thank you! I got my seat back on!!
Man I can't thank you enough. Tough to find easy straightforward step by step videos without any nonsense. Also some great tips. Liked and subbed. Thank you so much for this.
I bought a Ryker in April and have had some issues. I think the CVT is bad (2020 rally 4500miles). When I drive slow going either fwd or reverse it feels like the belt is warped. I figured I'd open her up and measure the belt.
Thanks for subscribing
Thanks Bill your video was very helpful and clear
That's awesome I'm glad the video helped you out and thank you for subscribing to my channel. I hope you have a wonderful day
THANK YOU.
I REALLY APPRECIATE the video.
THANKS again sir.
No problem glad I could help have a great day
Thanks so much Bill, great video and helped us a lot ❤
No problem glad the video helped you. Thank you for taking the time to hit the subscribe button It helps out tremendously
@@BLRTUNING hi Bill, how do you turn off the transmission maintenance message that keeps coming up on the screen?
Great video helped pull apart to get to some items I needed. Unfortunately putting back together was a nightmare. Screws under the seat do not want to line up to go back in and I am sure one is striped now and I snapped a piece of plastic off on the front upper part of the grille trying to put it back on.
It is definitely kind of crazy how they have assembled this thing in general..
just knowing that you have to flex the plastic to get some of the pieces off is a little ridiculous to me every time I take it apart I'm worried I'm going to break something and I have broke tons of plastic pieces and had to replace them on this bike..
I'm glad the video helped you out I'm sorry that you had some troubles though
I guess I'll have to do this. I have a comfort seat I want to remove.
Very good video on opening the Riker 900. Would you show us how to replace the drive belt?
When it comes time to change mine out yes I will be making a video about it.. probably next summer
Popped the panel above the brake pedal off just like you did. Unfortunately the large 90 degree plastic hook below the seat broke off immediately. This is the panel you put on and off and on and off to show how sturdy the hook is. I used very little force. Crap plastic now I’m going to glue it back together and use thin metal strips to reinforce it hope it works. But thank you for all your work showing how everything comes apart 😊
It is very strange how the plastic is on these bikes for sure. Several people have broken plastic that seems very simple even something as simple as just removing the hood the little plastic clips that you squeeze I've had people break those just removing the hood.. yet other people have been able to take their Pike apart multiple times without breaking anything. On my bike personally I have broken just about every panel on that thing but it's hard to compare my bike to someone's that is brand new because mine has been taken apart so many times..
I broke the same clip on mine, doing the same thing! I drilled multiple holes and used solid wire to stitch it together, then coated it with JB Weld. I did the same thing for a couple of radiator mounts on cars, as well as the small pins on the Ryker radiator mount. I need more JB Weld.....
Thanks for the video Bill. I have been wondering how to get to the belt for a change at 12k. Maybe you could walk through that sometime?
Very good video. Could you show us how to replace the drive belt for the 12,000 mile maintenance?
Nice video, thanks. It didnt look complicated at all, I allways find it a Little scary to work with plastic panels that snap in and out, feels like it could break. :)
Hope you will make a video in the future for CVT belt replacement.
Have you find a video for the belt?
@@RobertTorres1981 Not yet, probably not many who have managed to drive far enough yet to need a replacement. If no one makes a good video there is allways service manuals to buy though :)
At 12,000 mi I will be making a video but that's still a little ways out
@@BLRTUNING sweet, looking forward to that :)
I probably wont need a new belt for 2 more years, but once I do, I hope to be able to do it myself.
Very cool. Now, how about a video showing how to remove battery. The rubber strap is hard to disconnect.
That is something that I will be doing very soon because I plan on adding a lithium ion battery. Please make sure you subscribe to the RUclips channel and turn the Bell notification icon ON... That way you'll get notified when I upload a video.
This is a great video. I am having trouble reinstalling the right and left fairings. Can I send you a pic? Dave
Hey Dave RUclips has been very weird with the notifications I am just now seeing this comment. It says that the comment was made 2 months ago.. if you still would like to get a hold of me you can reach out to me through social media..

This is an awesome video here Bill. Thanks brother. You don't have one on changing the CVT Belt do you.
Not yet but I will soon
@@BLRTUNING great I need to know if I need special tools for it or not lol.
@@BLRTUNING would also be nice to know if there is an aftermarket belt or who makes the one for them as we know they don't make it. Has to be cheaper if we could figure out which cross reference it is.
Great so far, but will this process work the same on my 2023 Ryker 900 ACE Classic Panels?
Thanks with the video I hope it works,I unfortunately removed the seat off the frame before I was familiar enough to do it correctly.
Thanks again, I’ll wait for your response before I screw anything else up.
Yes all models open exactly the same
Good afternoon i just have one question my name is Larry i love the info u give. Will i have to lift the shell just to replace the orginal 900 seat foam i took it off but having problems replacing it.
Yes to get it on correctly you do need to lift the entire clamshell of the bike. Then you can use rubber bands or small clips on the foam inserts so it squeezes them together. Then feed them through the holes and then remove the rubber bands or clips. That would be the proper way to do it. Others have figured out shortcuts around this but you risk damaging the seat. I recommend opening the clamshell it's not that challenging to do so. I have a RUclips tutorial video that will walk you through the entire thing. If you ever need any assistance or want to check out the parts that we carry feel free to look us up on our website. All my contact information is at the bottom of the web page.

Just noticed that you forgot to mention the washers lugnuts on the back on the front end screws
Hi Bill great video. I was reading in the BRP manual that you should empty the gas tank. Did you do that? It also looks like you can easily swap out the parking brake cover with this method.
You only need to empty the gas tank if you're going to lift the gas tank open when you open the shell.. in the BRP manual it says you can put a ratchet strap around the gas tank and the plastic body panel that opens this will lift the gas tank up out of place along with the body shell... if you don't put a ratchet strap around it the gas tank will stay in place while you open the shell as I show in this video.. so to answer your question if you're following the steps in this video no you do not need to empty the gas tank.. I am not lifting the gas tank up in this video..
@@BLRTUNING Thanks for the reply Bill. Had I actually scrolled the next page in the manual I would have saw that. :)
Hey Bill can we put a Protaper handlebars on the ryker, not the fat bars, the regular size one!!! I like the handlebars to look like a fourwheeler style instead of the ones that bring or the sport ones that are streight all the way!
Sorry I didn't reply to your notification a year ago when you posted it I literally just now got the notification saying that you left a comment RUclips is very bad at posting comments and sending the RUclipsr the notification.. hopefully you got it figured out by now but yes you can put on any handlebars you want on the bike.. as long as they are the same size diameter at the neck
Any idea what would keep the clamshell from fully opening? I went to open mine up this morning to change out the belt and once I got everything off the way you showed (this video is so helpful btw in this regard), I went to open it. Lifted from the triangles near the seat and it wouldn't open all the way to expose the transmission. There's a silver bar part (sorry for not knowing the name, I am in fact not mechanically inclined) that my neighbour who was out with me and she noted that one side moves when I lift, but the other doesn't. Any ideas would be extremely appreciated.
Sorry for the late reply I'm just now seeing this message perhaps send me an email with maybe some photos and I might be able to better guide you through it.

Sat down to watch this because I added new Ultimate seat recently but need to replace original seat temporarily. 1 minute and “...yeah I’m not doing that”
Opening the clamshell body is not that challenging as long as you just take it one step at a time and try and remember to mark where everything goes what I usually do is put stuff in ziplock bags as I pull it out of the bike and write down on the bag with a permanent marker where those bolts go. if you want to replace the seat and you want to do it the correct way this is the correct way to do it by opening the clamshell body. can be done other ways without opening the clamshell body but you risk damaging your seat or your bike....
This video will walk you through everything step by step it is very detailed. Hopefully if you decide to tackle this project my video helps you guide through it.
If you do enjoy my RUclips content please consider subscribing to the channel it helps me out tremendously
@@BLRTUNING I didn’t mean to imply your video isn’t thorough. Just that the seat would only be temporary for a two day trip and all this isn’t worth it for me!
Awesome video. I'm an old helicopter mechanic and usually not afraid to tackle stuff. But plastic and Can-Am part prices make me have second thoughts. Do you have any idea if your step-by-step applies to the 2021 Rally? Or are there any gotchas I might worry about? Thx.
It's the same process for all of the models.. 2019 to 2021 600 900 and rally
@@BLRTUNING Great. Thanks for the quick response.
What/how do we get to fuel tank? Trying to figure out how to get panels off to pull fuel pump and change pre filter. No video out yet on that
You can see in that video the way I hinge the bike open you would need to pull those other two lower screws in the front end so instead that whole thing would come off you also need to remove your handlebars and unclamp all of the wiring from my understanding... I'm talking about the wiring that goes up by the handlebars
Hey Bill have you ever replaced the 4 steering column bushings that are inside the plastic steering column housing? If so any tips? Thanks
I have pulled all of that apart before haven't had to replace them on a bike yet. I can tell you it's a pain in the butt there's a lot of stuff that needs to come apart. Have not made a video on it yet though or seen one for that matter
@@BLRTUNING to me it looks like I can remove the 4 housing bolts and just lay the steering column foward
Hi bill, Where did you buy the lift tool ?
www.trealperformance.com has them available on their website relatively inexpensive
Bill, I'm guessing with the max mount there are more screws to remove? I followed your directions and got stuck when looking for the screws under the seat.
The max Mount stays in place I know this comment is one year old I'm just now actually getting the notification which is a little absurd. Hopefully you figured it out.
@@BLRTUNING I did 🤣 Thanks as always
Cool video. So in real time how long does it take you to get to the point that all the plastics are off and you can access the engine?
20 minutes
Not bad. On my 2010 Spyder RT-S it was easily an hour and a half to remove the plastics.
You don't have one on changing the CVT Belt do you.
Nope but we will be doing that soon
Will the bolts under the seat be the same if you have a passenger seat?
Not sure exactly which bolts you're talking about
I have the parking brake that ties in with my glove box, same as you. Im not fully understanding what i would need to do? Do i take the side oanels & glove box out to clam shell. Or am i disconnecting the glove box & emergency break mechanism? Sorry for my dislectic questions?
You have to disconnect the cable that goes from the e-brake to the glove box or else you will snap it in half or break something if you go to clamshell the bike. You can disconnect it from the e-brake side of things or disconnect it from the glove box side of things it doesn't matter. Do whichever one seems easier to you. I usually just unscrew the lock mechanism from the glove box and then leave the lock mechanism hanging down the inside. Then when I clam shell the bike it'll just stay there until I put everything back together.
@@BLRTUNING They were right about you? You're the best!!!
Thanks
I still need to ride one of these. I'm getting conflicting stories from people. Some say this is a quick/fast bike others say not. What's your input? Can u compare the speed/acceleration to anything?
Main reason I got this is so we can go on trips with my parents who own a Can-Am Spyder. This is faster than a Can-Am Spyder as far as acceleration. The 0 to 60 time is quick. The bike feels fast until it gets to about a hundred miles an hour. Stock they will top out at about a hundred and four miles an hour.. of course if you purchase the Dynojet Pv3 and put one of my tunes on the bike you can get quite a bit more out of it. Cooler running temps, quicker acceleration better throttle response and a faster top speed. I like it.
@@BLRTUNING thanx for the input. So you do your own tuning/map?
@@Masdyl1319 yes absolutely... If you'd like to know more about the tuning stuff look me up on Facebook.. the name is the same as my RUclips account.. or look me up on Instagram.. @biggdaddy007br

@@BLRTUNING do you have plans to do the tune and exhaust for the 600?
If you look me up on Facebook messenger we could talk more there about tuning.. and pricing.. yes I have built several custom maps for the 600.. the two Brothers exhaust will fit the 600 as well.. I don't know if the treal performance exhaust system will fit the 600 or not I would assume that it would but I have not tested it neither has treal performance. So to answer your question if you want a custom map for your 600 yes I can do it message me on Facebook messenger.

Have u ever had to change the drive shaft in yours?
No I have not
Do you happen to have this in reverse direction to put this sucker back together smoothly?
I do not have a video showing how to put it back together precisely but my suggestion would be just to watch the video a few times. It took a few tries to get this to work out smoothly now that I've done it multiple times I can have the clamshell body open in about 15 minutes however I would expect someone that's never done it before it's going to take a couple hours to open it and get it back together. If you have any questions let me know. You can always message me and we can chat more through the blr tuning Facebook page..
m.facebook.com/BLRTUNING/
Thank you! Yeah, I was a hot mess out in my front yard yesterday but got it apart and my covered seat back on and then was lost, lost.
Well hopefully you got it all back together let me know if there's anything you need help with
How long did it take to get the clam shell up?
I've done it a few times so I can open it in about 15 to 20 minutes but the first time doing it it might take you an hour second time probably a half hour.
Have you replace the CVT belt? Lookout for a tutorial
No I have not had to replace it yet there will be a video when I do replace it but we are just now coming up on six thousand miles.. we want to leave the belt on there even though we have beat the hell out it... We need to see how durable the factory belt really is... So for testing purposes we are not replacing it until 12000 miles unless it breaks earlier than expected...
I have opened it up to see what it looks like.. it doesn't look too hard to replace..
@@BLRTUNING Do you know how to clear the transmission maintenance required , warning light?
Thanks
@@BLRTUNING I got the " Transmission Maintenance Required" warning light at 8k miles
Can't find how to clear the warning light after I replaced the belt
Let me guess, if I have a max mount and passenger seat there is more work?
I was thinking the same thing...
No you can open the clamshell body with the max Mount installed
@@user-bp2kl2uj7p you can open the clamshell body with the max Mount installed I've done it several times
how do open top front pannal
If you're talking about the glove box you have to push down on it
Have you had to remove ryker rally skid plate?
No I have not removed one yet
I am having problems, there is a nut behind the T25 bolt. The nut is surrounded on three sides by hard plastic. I can't get a wrench in there to hold the nut in place. It is spinning when I turn bolt.
Need to open the ryker up to get driver stick seat back on
What is the easiest way to check your wiring harness for wiring issues? This seems the easiest. My 10amp fuses are blowing like candy 30 plus and we have exhausted options on the issue but have yet to check the harness itself. Heeelpp Lmao
In order to check the wiring harness to get to some of the wires yes you may need to open the clamshell body and remove the majority of the panels. You're just going to have to inspect each wire and follow it and see if it got pinched anywhere. Look up the orientation for the wires that are related to the fuses that are blowing. All of my contact information is in the description below any of my videos.. you need to reach out to me feel free to message me through any of those contacts.

Not exactly. When it comes to breaking panels if you’re working on your bike in the winter 🥶make sure you’re in a heated garage or you’ll be breaking a lot of panels 😳 It get very expensive very fast😫😱🎻🎼😢😭😭😭 👋🏻😂🤪
Why can't Can Am build a bike without all that garbage on the outside? Naked bikes are so much better.
Not that flexible. I broke the right side of my fascia taking it off one day and the left side putting it back on.
The panel should always be warm before removing or putting back on. We like to see them at 70 degrees Fahrenheit or above. So if it's not a hot day outside you may need to use a heat gun in order to not break or crack things. This would be the same with pretty much all plastic parts.
@@BLRTUNING the fascia was warm but it was about 55 outside when I did it. I have the lower side panels down tho. The hook on the back part towards the front goes on first then the furthest back one snaps into place easily, then the front of the panel pops into place. New fascia on the way but it will not go on until spring, I learned my lesson.
@@ryker4124 yes unfortunately I hear about these breaking All the time. Sorry to hear that.
