I bought my bike 2 months ago and taught myself how to ride. It's incredibly easy and I got the freeway and drove an hour home from the dealership. If you can't pass this coarse you don't belong on a motorcycle of any kind. It's easier than driving a car tbh. Luckily here in Cali you don't need to take this coarse but it does help get a discount on your insurance.
This course helped me to be more vilant on the trike. This is my first time riding on this machine. Hope to pass my class and the test. Thank you for that information on the book i will look inti it.😊
Thanks!! I’m taking my course this weekend and this put my anxiety at ease!
Thank you! You did a wonderful job explaining what to expect and what to watch out for.
Taking my course June 1st. I am planning on getting a Ryker 600. Thank you for this helpful video. It helps alleviate some of the anxiety!
Waiting for next. Class. Good information on videos
On my to test this morning. Dont know what bike ill test on but feel even more comfortable after watching this video. 2 day testing Ill keep you posted and thank you so much for dropping sone great knowledge.!!!
Thanks for stopping by!! Good luck out there and don’t forget to have fun!! 👍🏼
Thanks for making the video, it gave me a lot of highlights on what I need to do. I am interested in writing the spider.
I hope it helps! I rode both during my course and the Spyder is a lot smoother in acceleration and turning! Very comfy!
I have a training course this weekend and this video gave me an idea of what to look forward too. I plan to get the Ryker 600 😁 thanks so much for this content !
I’m glad this helped you out! Don’t be nervous, have fun with it! The Ryker is a smile maker for sure!
Very good information. Here in the UK I was unable to find anyone that gave Ryker training. I have taken things slowly and a couple of day did over 60 miles and enjoyed every minute. Thank you for your time.
I’m glad you found this helpful, slow and steady progression is very safe 👍🏼 best of luck
Thanks you did a good job explaining everything
You’re very welcome!
Thank you for sharing you heads up view on the whole deal. I am looking at getting a F3 limited myself. God bless and be safe!
I’m glad you found it helpful! The F3s look awesome!
@BONESKULL420 have you gotten an F3 YET?
Thank u that gave me more information about my bike good job 😊
Thank you!! I’m glad it was informative for you!
This was very helpful. Thank u❤
You are very welcome!
Very helpful. I take my course beginning Friday March 15-17. I am excited!!
Glad to hear! Good luck on your exams!
thx bro this helped me a lot before my class!
No problem man! 👍🏼 Keep it steezy
I took my course and test this past weekend and passed. You are spot on!
Congrats man! Enjoy the road! Glad I could be of service!
@@TheGonewiththewind7 Thank you! Same to you
Thought that this video was very good. It gave me some insight about the way the Can Am preforms. Will continue to look for more information and hopefully I will be able to find a class that is available in my area. Thank You
Thanks Ken! I’m glad it helped you out!
@Ken Fairben did you take the class already?
Thanks for the info
I take a 2 day course starting tomorrow in Gilbert AZ
I’ve got my new Spyder R3 to pick up at the end of November.
Nice, hope everything goes/went well! Spyders are really cool too!
Taking my course tomorrow, purchased a 2016 Can Am Spyder F3, last weekend.
Nice and congratulations, the Spyders are really cool! Enjoy your new toy!
Appreciate the knowledge.💯💪🏾
Any time!
what are you riding Ryker or Spyder?
Taking the class 9/11 & 9/12, Raleigh NC. Super excited! Planning to purchase a spyder. Great video and thanks for the pointers.
Any time! Enjoy your class and ride! 😃
@John Kabler did you get yourself a Spyder?
We had a great instructor in PA...really enjoyed the course and got a chance to try a Ryker out! Great explanation! 👍🏍️😊💜
I had a great time at my course as well! Everyone was so supportive of each other! Thanks for stopping by! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 😃
@@TheGonewiththewind7 We had the same experience! And made some new friends out of it. 😊
I have my course in just two weeks (signed up for the eClassroom option since I'm an hour+ away from the location) and this was really insightful! I'm excited to see how the range portion goes. I'm hoping to ride a Ryker (that what I eventually want to purchase for myself) but my feelings won't be hurt if I'm on a Spyder.
No matter what you get to ride, seat time is seat time 👍🏼 they both are very enjoyable to ride and you will learn a lot on the course! Good luck!
I will taking my test next month in St. Louis they had no classes in my state when looked it up but I want the f3 special and thank u for the lesson on riding
Any time! Enjoy your class and I hope you end up getting that F3!
I am picking my new Ryker Rally up this Wednesday. Never been on a three wheeler before but have ridden on two wheels for decades.
That’s awesome man! They truly are a blast!
Thanks for this! I'm taking my course at the beginning of April to get ready for my 2023 Spyder RT Limited! I have read the manual a few times, but I will look for a PDF of the class manual. I've planned a lot of rides, but I'll start small and local to build my skills and nerve!
Glad you enjoyed it Brian! And yes, building skills and confidence is key. I started with short in-town trips, then on service roads, then got comfortable enough to go on the highway!
@KC KNIGHTLY Thanks as well for the quick reply! With the weather trending toward spring, I almost can't wait! All of the local rides I've planned with Rever I've driven, so I'll be ready for the road at least.
great video! i just got a ryker 900...only had chance to ride it twice so trying to get used to everything. I love it tho and hope my test goes well! thanks for your very informative video!
Lots of videos of the ryker but this one is the best it’s more detailed shows more❤️❤️appreciate it
I’m glad you found it helpful my friend! Thank you! 👍🏼 If you like the content, please consider subscribing!! I do new videos each week! It would be a great help to the channel and would help it grow!! 😁
@Zeno Geno are you on 3 wheels yet?
@@VinCode17 nah not yet but one day I will
@@zenogeno3752 that's cool man, one day is better then no day 😂 #vincode17
Took my class today and the writing course. You are spot on with what first day was like. I'm buying a Can-Am Ryker 900 Monday.. I've always wanted to ride but always thought at 4ft 11in I couldn't ride anything. This I can ride!!
Your going to have a blast on these things. 💪
I’m glad you are enjoying it! Have fun on your new ride!!
I have mild cerebral palsy. My balance isn’t good enough to ride a 2 wheel motorcycles but I feel like I could ride one of these with some practice. I don’t even have my drivers for a car but I’ve been thinking of getting my motorcycle license for one of these.
@@JacobMinger if you can drive a car you can definitely learn how to ride this. In some states if you have your drivers license you only need the 3 wheel endorsement. The motorcycle license is harder to do because you would need to do it on an actual 2 wheels. #vincode17
I am 4'10". I am glad to hear that it's easy for us shorter people.
BRP course scheduled for the week of the 7th of June, already ordered and awaiting delivery on my 2020 RT, good info thanks.
Thanks for the kind words! I’m glad the info helped you! I hope you enjoy your new ride and the course!! Great Summer weather is right around the corner!
@Bizvidsz hows that RT treating you?
I’m a member of a motorcycle club. With this club you can ride or not, but if you do then the 1%ers will listen to you more. My president of the club strongly recommends me to learn to ride so it’s important to me. I don’t quite anything till I succeed.
We just bought a Can am Spyder RT Limited. Can’t wait to take the course so we be in the wind 💨
The Spyders are really cool, a lot smoother ride than the Rykers! Enjoy!
Just got my learner licence on a 2 wheel scooter in NSW Australia, at present we are still waiting for the licence people to approve the testing method for Ryker training. I
OnGot my new 2021 Ryker and took it for very first ride, Awesome and so easy to ride.
I loved watching your video and look forward to seeing more of your videos. You have a great straightforward and too the point description that is easy to understand. Great work

Nice! I hope you enjoy your course and new bike to the fullest!! They are smile makers for sure! Ride safe!
did you receive your rally?
@@VinCode17 Yeah I got it last July. Rode until mid-November before I garaged him. I LOVE IT!!! First ride of this season will be this Friday!!!

You are very welcome!
I’m a very good car driver. Been taught by a police officer. He was a stickler for safety. He made me the same
Bought my Ryker Rally a few weeks ago. Have a 2 wheel endorsement already. Taking the three wheel course in a couple weeks (required in WA). Loving the Rally!
I rode a Rally in my course! Currently own the 600! The Rallys do have a lot of getup and go! I like how it sits a little higher too! Good luck on the course!
@Daniell Dahm the rally are fun to ride on dirt roads.
Taking my class Oct ..Real excited 😂😂😂⚡️⚡️
Enjoy the class!! It’s a blast!!
did you pass?
I just got my 2022 Ryker 900 and will be taking the course in a couple weeks.
Good luck on your course and enjoy the new Ryker! 👍🏼
how do you like that 22 so far?
Great instructor
I appreciate that Lucy!! 😁
@Lucy Baker have you taking the riding pledge, get on 3 wheels.
Bought my Spyder RT limited about 2 months ago, take the class on Tuesday & Wednesday this week. Calling for rain, guess we will get to practice that type riding as a bonus.
Thanks for stopping by Kenneth! I had some rain on one of my class days too. It was an interesting experience. Gives you a chance to see what rain riding is like and how it affects your bike and your vision through a visor!
@Kenneth Stout how you like that Spyder RT?
@@VinCode17 Glad I got it. Taking a 5 day trip soon.
@@kennethstout9237 very cool man enjoy and ride safe.
Absolutely fantastic video. This is so helpful. I’m going to get a Ryker 600 as it’s learners approved. I’m 23 and from Australia 🇦🇺 this will become my first vehicle. Not sure why I want to get one instead of a car. I’ve never ridden a motorcycle before but thinking I’ll have to start somewhere. Thanks for the video
Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! The 600 is more than enough power for a beginner for sure! Don’t let the sales people tell you otherwise! And always wear the correct gear my friend! If this is going to be your only vehicle I recommend getting hot weather gear, waterproof/rain gear, and cold weather gear. The jacket I wear serves a dual purpose, it has a zip out insulated liner for when it gets cold and it is also a waterproof jacket.
@C Jackson did you get a 600?
@@VinCode17 not yet. Sometime in the future. I’m getting my car license at the moment. Seems more practical

No problem! Enjoy your course and good luck!! Hope you have a blast!
@Vaness Blakeman still enjoying the Ryker Rally?
On the seat test was 4 exercises for me. Star/stop after reaching a cone. Avoiding an object after acceleration. Turning inside cones. Maneuvering around cones left to right at almost 90 degrees. Make sure they know its a 3 wheeled motorcycle. I was failed initially until they realized what I meant When I said its a 3 wheeled motorcycle. These machines are new to a lot of highway patrol officer testers especially in the Midwest. I rode mine to the test and they didn't say anything. Also, you can't miss more than five questions on the written portion but you get a of couple chances if you do. Don't take the CANAM course save yourself money and study the free motorcycle handbook every state offers and use common sense.
At least where I took it, the riding portion of the class counted for the riding portion of the DMV test and the classroom portion/test counted for taking the DMV written test. So all I had to do was take a course completion card to the DMV and have my license updated with the endorsements 🤷🏻♂️. You don’t HAVE to take the course, but if you are getting a Can-Am I would still recommend it. It teaches proper skills in a controlled environment instead of just learning on the street. There is nothing wrong with learning on your own, but for beginners or brand new riders the course is the better and safer option.
I live in MS and I’m looking to get a spider f3 limited they have a 3 wheel rider course on the coast can’t wait wish me luck by the way I’m 68 yrs old
I think you will be just fine!! 😁 The F3s look slick and are a bit smoother on the throttle and ride! You will enjoy it!
I'm gonna take the course because I want to get a spyder f3
The Spyders are very nice!! Good luck! 👍🏼
In many states the motorcycle and 3 wheel courses are FREE, and you can even take them multiple times. If you're at all interested and this is an option, do it! Oh and don't get a death grip on the throttle on the avoidance swerve, that always causes some interesting results :)
Bought my Ryker couple weeks ago, and ended up getting it. I wish I knew not to yank back on it earlier.
I’m glad you got one, they are great! Hopefully all is okay!!
@Hope Hignite how do you feel on it now?
@@VinCode17 i honestly am regretting it
@@hopehignite6159 why's that?
I take my course on July 15 and 16. I went though Can-am learn to ride. I had to get my permit from Ohio first before taking the class. The only place that I can take the 3 wheel course is in Kentucky. They sent me a link for the book this week,
so started going over it have it saved on my Onedrive. So I can view it anywhere.
That’s awesome that you have the book saved! It’s a good piece of study material before the course! It’s crazy how you have to go to another state to do the course! But it is worth it my friend! Good luck!
are you riding yet?
Been saving my money for the down payment. I placed the preorder for the 2022 this year.
@@sadro01111970 did you do the class? The 22's are nice bro.
@@VinCode17 yes i took the Can-am course
I’m considering the Ryker for commuting to work. I just signed up for class in two weeks. I’m excited to see how it goes and buy the bike should I enjoy it.
You will definitely have fun! As far as getting to work, think about commute time and if you would be comfy on the Ryker to work and back. If not maybe test ride a Spyder and see if it would be better. Thanks for coming by!
@@TheGonewiththewind7 My commute is very short. I think it will be a good fit. But thank you for the suggestion.
Mine is too. I love riding it to and from work!

@Heather Lee how did you make out with the weather?
@@VinCode17 It rained, then hailed, then snowed, then sleeted rain mixed with snow the rest of the 7 hours we were out there. You can literally hear it in the video.

Great stuff KC. Taking the course at Maplewoods in July. Once you successfully complete the course (get your certification) is there anything else you need to do to get your license?
Hey Dennis! Thanks for stopping by the channel! After I completed my course (and passed both written and riding portions), I was given a Course Completion Card. I took that card to my local DMV and had them modify my license to show my endorsement. Make sure to bring the proper paperwork to renew/update your license as well. (My state had to have the usual SS Card, 2 proofs of residence and some other forms of identification, check your local DMV checklist to make sure you have it all👍🏼).
@Dennis Edwards hows Ryker life treating you?
You press eco button "mode" in the Spyder to get rid of message in cluster after turning switch on, then it will start. Dont ask me how i learn it.
I have 2022 Ryker 600. Start my course May 20, 2024 (Ocala FL)

When taking your riding test do the provide you with a three wheel to take the test
Yes they do!
They do it different in the states . In England you just need a full valid car licence
Things are very different across the pond lol they love to make us jump through hoops here
@@TheGonewiththewind7
The requirements for getting a car driver's license in most of the development world is considerably more difficult than it is in most states in the USA. It is likely more difficult than get car license and meeting the requirements for legally operating a three wheel motorcycles in most of the states in the USA. Note that every USA state has different requirements.
Where can I get a ryker skill test book?
I want a tri glide
I live in NYC in the Bronx dos I need a special license or a regular motorcycle license thank you so much
That’s a good question Jay. I’m from Missouri and we have to have a 3-Wheel Motorcycle endorsement or a regular Motorcycle license. You may have to contact one of your local DMVs or local Dealers for specifications. I could not say as to whether or not you need a certain license because I am not familiar with the laws in your area. Good luck my friend!
Thank you 🙏 bro i like your show be safe god bless
@Spanky187 are you riding a Ryker yet?
✅
😁👍🏼
How do you go over a pothole if you can’t swerve to avoid it?
In my opinion (always best to consult an MSF instructor as well), I try to keep the hole between two tires if possible (left front and rear or right front and rear) so that way one tire is not taking all the blow and/or you can avoid the hole entirely if it is small enough. Other than that, it is best to practice situational awareness (scanning near and far, left/right) to avoid finding yourself in those situations. When it comes to DEEP potholes, it is very hard to successfully run over them without damage to the bike or you. I hope this helps my friend, ride safe!
I’m having trouble getting my passenger seat off. I turn the key and pull up on the seat. Only one side only comes up about 2 inches. I took off the trunk I could see it better but couldn’t get it to come off. Your help would be be very appreciated 😊😊
I struggled to get mine off, there is a lever underneath to pull them a button push out of the seat, then you give it a slight push/bump, pushing towards the steering wheel. It will pop right off.
My lessons are end of November. I’m wanting a Can-Am Spider but not sure, except for videos, if the two wheels in the back are equal to two in front. Any feedback?
Good question! 2 Wheels in the front (like the Can-Ams) are a lot more stable and have way less of a chance of tipping over when going around a corner. 2 Wheels in the back (like a Harley Tri-Glide) are nice looking but have less stability due to only having one wheel in the front. They both have their purposes and places in the motorcycle world. I just prefer the Can-Ams because of safety and style. 👍🏼 hope this helps
@Kathy Brightman what did you end up with for a ride?
@@VinCode17 I didn’t. Money is tight but still want a Can Am Spider automatic.
@@kathybrightman9290 in time it will come just don't give up the dream if getting that wind therapy some day. Keep in touch.
same money is tight, do want a can am spyder rt. my concern is I have never ridding any type of motorcycle and being middle age, makes me nervous.
Did you buy the book or do they provide it for you with the course?
They provided it with the course (at least they did for us in Missouri)
Looking to get one is there a dealer in KC you would recommend
Not too familiar with the KC area, I would not be able to give my experiences there
I live in NYC. Would you recommend this type of 3 wheeled motorcycle for the busy NYC streets?
I think any motorcycle is decent for congested areas like the city (especially NYC). It’s better than a car due to mobility and maneuverability. As far as 3 Wheeled Motocycles, I would suggest the Can-Ams for sure. They give more stability than the one in front and two in rear styles. You also have to weigh the risks in riding these too. You don’t have a “cage” around you like riding in a car. You also have to think “what if someone cuts me off and I have no where to go since the traffic is really congested” or “What if someone tries to beat the light behind me and we are at a dead stop (and doesn’t see that) and someone hits me”? These bikes are very fun to ride but as with any Motorcycle, traffic can get really sketchy when it gets congested and people get irritated. You just have to be safe, wear your gear (A.G.A.T.T) “All Gear All The Time”, and be aware of your surroundings at all times.
@Charlie Gonzalez did you go with a Ryker?
I have the course in 2 days 😃
Nice man! I hope you have fun! It was a blast when I went!
@Simplelife22 easy man, nothing to it. I'm sure you have completed the online part of the basic riders course. They will go over most of that. As well as you will get on a ride and do basic maneuvering. IF anything difficult, it was the weather. It was a very hot day, but all the same it was fun. best of luck I know you will be fine.
@Simplelife22 dude, that's Terrible! I'm sorry to hear that. I guess it depends on the personality of the instructor. I will say, I got lucky. Did you pass it? Onwards, have you thought of getting the bike??
I’m sorry to hear that as well! It definitely does sort of kill the experience when you have a bad instructor!
@Simplelife22 are you still riding a Ryker?
Where did you buy the manual
I can only find a kindle edition
The MSF manual can be found on Amazon, I would just search “MSF Course Manual” and find the one directly from the MSF. They are updated every year or so, so the cover may or may not look the same as mine.
Here in Kansas City Missouri really interested in getting a Can-Am but is it recommended to take the class ? all the classes are full
Hey Glenn, thanks for stopping by! I would recommend taking the class! It helps you develop your skills and improve on ones you already have (if you have other motorcycle experience)! There is always something to be learned. It is also easier than trying to schedule the test with the DMV. When you pass your class you get a completion card and you take that to the DMV and just get your license updated (make sure you bring proper paperwork to the DMV for updating your license)! Hope this helps!
@@TheGonewiththewind7 Hey man, finished the paperwork earlier today spent a lot of money on accessories should be able to pick it up later this week
Nice! It’s always fun to mod the bike and make it your own! Hope you have fun with it!
@@the061368 which Ryker do you have?
@@VinCode17 900 Ryker
Stupid question, what is the weight limit for the bike? Because I’m 360Lbs
The manual will say about 400. Performance on the bike will differ based on the engine. Also you may have performance variables you'll need to consider (acceleration, stopping and handling). The bike will hold you with no problem though. Enjoy!
Getting ready to take my class in Hudson, NC this weekend! Just wondering, how do they split the classroom and riding time? Is it all the classroom stuff first, or is there a mix of both on both days (for a 2 day course)?
That’s awesome Kyle! And the way mine was split up was on the first day it was classroom first and then we went out to the bikes and then the second day we started on the bikes (took the riding test portion at the end) and ended with classroom time and the written test. It averaged about 4 hours classroom, 4 hours riding per day.
@@TheGonewiththewind7 cool, thanks for the info!
@@kylepeterson4147 what are you riding Ryker or Spyder?
@@VinCode17 I rode a Ryker, which works because that's what I wanted to get. They had 3 Rykers and a Spyder.
So what is so different than riding a regular Motorcycle, Do you have to have a special license to ride a Can-AM?
I can only speak for Missouri (you would have to check your local laws in your state). In Missouri, if you have a regular motorcycle license you are fine to ride 3-Wheeled, if you do not have a motorcycle license at all then you have to get a 3-Wheel endorsement. As far as the difference, you are more stable, have better stopping power, you don’t have to worry about falling over or counter steering in turns (I could go on for a bit). I really enjoy my Ryker.
@Brian Lawliss did you figure out the answer to your question?
I took the course and did not get the book. They didn’t say much of anything about it. I have a 2010 Harley Nightster.
where can I get the book?
You can usually find it on your local Department of Revenue website or you can search the book directly on the internet and try to find to the PDF version. Hope this helps!
@Nick Anderson did you find the book?
No I haven’t
Why in the world would you turn off the parking brake before you start it?
If your foot is on the brake, it is no problem. It’s just how they teach it.
So as a BRP trained instructor, I can see where you left out some basic safety procedures. If those are not exhibited on the “celebration of skills”, sorry but I would fail you.
Thanks for watching, obviously this video isn’t the full course explained in every waking detail (which would make for an extremely long video), more so a summary of what to expect when going so people are more prepared.
Turn signals are self cancelling.
Changing lanes is not enough input to cancel by itself.thats when you manually cancel it.
I have the Can-Am 600 the written part scares me
Test anxiety is normal, but the interactive and riding portion helps you learn what is also on paper. Good luck!
What happens if you fail the course? You own the thing. Why not ride off on it?
Not exactly 😂 the bikes belong to the dealer/organization putting on the course. If you fail you will have to come back and try again another time.
The instructor I had wasn’t really interested in the students and didn’t want to be there. I past the exercises but didn’t do as well on the third one. He then cut me loose without any explanation.
I’m sorry that happened for you! The instructor can make the class great or terrible.
Course? I just bought it and rode it, fuck am I supposed to have a licence 😅
flip or skid the bike? dude most of these courses are 10 min in a small parking lot where you do no more than 12-15 mph. don't freak people out this is way easier than basically any test ever....
At least for the Can-am specific and sponsored course, it’s two days with hours of class and ride time. Flipping and skidding are rare, but it’s possible, especially if you have an inexperienced rider.
It would have helped if you had shown some of the tests besides just talking about them.
You actually need a training course for one of those things? ...but it has three wheels. I don't get it.
have you been on one yet?
Oh joy I can now ride a bike. Wow now watch me go buy an H.D. tri glide.
I mean buy whatever you want. This video was for the Canam course and you knew that when you clicked the video (as it is clearly stated). Thanks for the comment and the click though bud. It helps bump me up in the RUclips algorithm.
Is there some rational reason the music is so stinking loud?
Thanks for stopping by. You are actually my first comment about the music. If the music doesn’t appeal to you or you have issues with it, you can always skip or slide past the B-Roll (cinematic sequences). As well, there is also the volume buttons/volume slider on the RUclips website and app itself. Hope this helps and have a great day!
@@TheGonewiththewind7 Or your editor might check the decibel difference of one scene to the next against the overall average. The music was well chosen just too loud. I watch educational material lightly the first time and had to stop what I was doing so I wouldn't wake or irritate the neighbors.
Watched the show through to the end and found it took much of the edge off my April class. Thanks for you effort.
I appreciate the feedback and it is great that it helped ease some concern about the class. I will try and keep track of the decibels. I am a fully independent channel, I do all the videography, editing, and mixing.
