RICKTER talk

[Jamo07sj]

So for 2015 + how are he hood seals, brackets, breather hoses etc with water?

Took mine out for the first time Tuesday and must have gotten tons of water in there - milky flame arrestors and some water droplets in carb..died after doing some tricks

First ride out scupper leaks when sitting still but sealed when more water weight was on it don't think that is my culprit.

Adjust your hood so it seals proper and you shouldn't have an issue

Definitely plan to replace the turd scupper with ball type.

I tightened up hood so now it snaps down really tight, it helped ALOT but I'm still getting some water bog when doing back to back in water tricks

I doubt the scupper is causing problems while I'm moving though if anything helping

 

[Jamo07sj]

Notice how the flame arrestor is directly under, I really doubt it's leakin from the rear but I'm gonna test today

Has anyone put a front foothold on a new edge. They don't come from factory with one but their is plenty of space up front for one.

You can order an edge with a front hold. My 15 has it.

I've heard that if you land sideways with a foot strap doing a roll or inverted 360 you can tweak your ankle in the strap

I have front foot hold from the factory, its a few pieces of underpadding glued together and shaped. Its simple and super cemfortable.

Only 3 rides on it - so still turnin screws and playing w temps

Hit me up when you wanna ride I'm right next to orwood

For future reference for 2016 xfr pole bracket needs silicone or some homemade gasket, silicone around breather tubes would help too - all my water intrusion was coming from there.

Also I glued on my hin where "removal would be obvious" as required by cali - on the exhaust side above the sponson

For those of you replacing the Rickter scupper valve with a ball type valve are you replacing both scuppers or just the one on the transom?

 

[dmpus]

Yes, the front foot hold is not recessed into the engine compartment. It is just a piece of underpadding glued on the firewall
