FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
When you riding the bike for a certain amount of time, it cuts of or when you cut it off it don't start back up. It's very dangerous for you to be riding and the bike just shuts down. Then you have to.let the bike sit for an hour until the fuel pump cools off then it will start up again and drive normal. But the same thing happens again this my 3rd time this has happened to me.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BRP's Vehicle Stability System (VSS) engages randomly on left turns, cutting engine power, applying braking, and temporary stalling around curves at normal driving speeds. This situation is a serious driving hazard as may suddenly jerk erratically, causing temporary loss of control of vehicile. This has happened on several occassions, and is a known problem to BRP. Ryker will lose power during a turn, causing vehicles behind to brake to avoid a collision, the bike will jerk and shake erratically, as brakes are being applied, then lunges forward when the VSS system disengages and normal power is restored. I almost got rear-ended by a large truck. This Ryker is NOT safe to drive. Has been taking to the dealer five times to try and fix the problem but so far it persists. Dealer clamis that Can-Am (BRP) has not been very helpful in resovling problem. This is a design or manufacturing flaw that needs to be fixed in the VSS system.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, ENGINE
I bought the bike new and it is all stock, no addtl electrical additions. I was riding the bike had gone approx 35 miles the 1st & 2nd time and l was on a highway all of a sudden my bike lost power. It dropped speed from 65mph to under 40mph & my dash started to read VSS FAULT LIMP HOME..... I was almost hit multiple times by traffic coming up on me at higher speeds & bcz the bike has no emergency flashers l was almost struck. There were no service roads on HWY 380 East from Decatur, TX back to Denton, TX. So l was forced to ride on a hwy at 35-40mph w no hazards. I took it in to the dealership in Denton,TX at Freedom Powersports 2 days later the tech tells me it was maybe a brake fuse code. The bike was less than a year & less than 1500 miles on it. The 1st time it threw a VSS FAULT CODE l was on l-35 S heading to Dallas ,TX. l was about 20 miles out when the bike did the same thing it lost power as l was going about 65-67 mph. The bike was less than 3mo under 500 miles. The bike again quickly lost power & dropped speed fast down to 35mph & l saw the VSS LIMP HOME code come on my dash screen. I had to quickly change lanes & exit the interstate without being hit from behind bcz again l had no emergency flashers. I was told this time by Freedom Powersports of Lewisville,TX that it must have been a loose battery cable bcz the computer couldn't find any specific reason. It puts my life in grave danger & makes the bike un-reliable.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
Less than one month old, not even 200 miles,had a VSS fault. Took to dealer they said it was a steering issue and fixed, so they said. Less than a month again same issue VSS fault steering Yaw sensor. Rook to dealer again they had bike about a month to fix and replaced many parts and no issue since, however this issue happens when making hard/deep left turns, now I have learned that. So when I ride I take it easy on these turns and cornering.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, SUSPENSION
WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS THE REAR WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT WOBBLES THEN THE OTHER DAY WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM A STOP THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WHERE ENGAGING THEN A LITTLE FARTHER DOWN THE ROAD MAKING ANOTHER LEFT TURN AND THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE ENGAUGED AGAIN AND A VSS FAULT OCCURED ANF THE BIKE WENT INTO LIMP HOME MODE WHEN I CHECK THE CODES I GET C006C AND C0063 WHICH IS A YAW SENSONSOR AND A STEERING SENSOR. IT'S A SCARY FEELING TO HAVE YOUR RIGHT FRONT WHEEL GRAB WHEN YOUR TURNING LEFT. LOOKING ON FORUMS AND FACEBOOK GROUPS I SEE LOTS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE REPORTING IT THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS HAPPEND IT WOULD DEFINILETY BE VERY UNSAFE

STEERING, SUSPENSION
While riding bike it goes into limp mode without warning because of loose steering and vibration in rear suspension. Limp mode causes the bike to travel at an unsafe highway speed. Bike throws numerous codes for suspension sensors and steering sensors.

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
When taking left turns either at slow or highway speeds, the left front brake grabs as though the abs is kicking on, making it hard to steer and potentially losing control. The dealer says they were not able to duplicate the problem. My wife's 2020 Ryker Rally does the same thing. The dealer says the same thing about hers, no issue.

WHEELS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC):CONTROL MODULE
On sweeping left turns the rear tire shudders and skips across the road. Dealership reset YAW rate sensor and adjusted front steering rack. This corrected the issue for a day. The online forums for Can Am Rykers show numerous complaints about this specific issue but dealerships and Can Am state there is no issue and don't have a long term correction for the issue. It seems that the YAW rate sensor is triggered due to loose front end steering components. The technical service bulletin provided to dealers is Ryker YAW rate -SAS Sensor Faults 137209. The bike is unsafe and Can Am knows about the issue but will not issue a recall.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
The contact owns a 2021 Can-Am Ryker Rally Motorcycle. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH, the brakes inadvertently engaged, causing the rear-end of the motorcycle to wobble. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer tightened the front brakes; however, the failure recurred. Upon investigation, the contact related the failure to the speed sensor traction control. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.
