ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
When going on left turns feel like it jerks or like the abs is kicking in and I'm not sliding. When this happens it pushes me to the outside of the curve. Has done it since day one of owning it. Bought brand new. Hundreds of people on social media are have the same problem and the refuse to fix it.

while making a left turn the right front brake comes on and causes the steering to shake and the rear to seem to fishtail. the bike has been back to the dealer for repairs several times. the last time it was there 10 months. got it back in march and it was good for almost a month and then it started again. the dealer is trying but can-am doesn't seem to be much help. been in the shop for over 15 months total.

STEERING
Bearings in Pitmen Arm are failing. The Bearings are not pressed in and wear out quickly causing binding in the steering and triggering a VSS fault Code. Resulting in the vehicle going to Limp mode. I have seen many Can Am Rykers have this problem. Can Am refuses to Correct the problem. By the way my Ryker only has 1100 Miles on it and it's a 2019. Help before someone gets Killed.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VSS code is triggered with three codes making the Ryker go into limp mode. It started happening when I was going around turns (left) then eventually it locked me out of full performance. YAW/SAS C0063 and/or C0052 and *C006C) I hit a guard rail as it jolted me. Turns out there are many that have had the same problem when noted threw BRP dealers. So this is a known problem with the pitman steering arm bushings. Mine is most defiantly loose.

SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
The VSS Vehicle stability system on the right tire goes on at speeds of 30 MPH or more while making a sweeping left hand turn. Like on a canyon, highway or street. This causes the vehicle to apply brake pressure only to the the right tire and then pulls the vehicle further to the right side while makeing a left turn. This can cause you to drift uncontrollably into the right hand lane, or into a gaurd rail or into another moving vehicle. This has happened numerous times. This is also related the the back tire getting very wobbly at the same time and causes the Ryker to fishtail out of nowhere. I contacted BRP and they told.me they only had 10 or so complaints about this in their system and therefore no Recall. This seems impossible because as you will see from my photos there are many owners with documented proof and something that lots of Can-Am Ryker owners are complaining about. Sometimes the vehicle will shut down and go into limp mode while in motion because of it. There seems to be a TSB bulletin for a pitman arm fix out to the dealerships. However it's not a mandatory recall and if you are out of warranty (which is currently only 12 months) you are forced to pay for it yourself. The other fix is to reset the sensors, but from what I'm seeing it is only a temporary fix of maybe 4 days tops before the issue starts happening again. I'm worried for all Cn-Am Ryker owners, and wish BRP would issue a fix for this very dangerous issue.

Vehicle goes into VSS mode when making left hand turnes at speeds of 30 MPH or more. Also cause the vehicle to fishtail. This cause the vehicle to swerve into the lane to the right while making the left turn. Breaking and shaking is automatically applied to the right tire while this is happening.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY VEHICLE IN OCTOBER. THE EMAIL SAYS MY VEHICLE IS UNUSABLE UNTIL THE REPAIRS ARE PERFORMED AND I SHOULD NOT DRIVE IT. SINCE THEN, I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE MANUFACTURER THROUGH PHONE AND EMAIL 4 TIMES. I HAVE TRIED TO ACCOMMODATE THE REPAIR TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY BUT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY REQUIRED TO HAVE THE REPAIRS PERFORMED IS BEYOND MY MEANS. ACCORDING TO THE EMAIL I WAS SENT, THE DEFECT CAN CAUSE THE WHEELS TO FALL OFF. THIS HAS LEFT ME WITHOUT THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE FOR MONTHS.

ON SATURDAY (9/29/19) I NOTICED WHAT LOOKED LIKE A TINY SCRATCH ON THE WHEEL AXLE NUT OF THE LEFT, FRONT TIRE OF MY 2019 CAN-AM RYKER AFTER I WAS OUT RIDING FOR A FEW HOURS. I WASN'T REALLY ALARMED BUT PARKED IT IN MY GARAGE, AND WOUND UP NOT RIDING IT FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY (10/02/19), I LOADED UP MY SADDLEBAG AND PERFORMED A PRE-CHECK JUST BEFORE I WAS HEADED OUT FOR A RIDE, AND NOTICED THAT THE SCRATCH HAD TURNED INTO A LARGE CRACK THAT WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE WHEEL NUT! IT WAS REALLY STRANGE BECAUSE I HADN'T RIDDEN IN A FEW DAYS SO I WASN'T SURE HOW THAT COULD'VE HAPPENED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY RIDING DAYS HAVE BEEN HALTED.
