SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
While riding the 2020 Can Am Ryker Rally, going into left turns the Ryker will stutter and shake the right front and rear wheel. Feels as tho it is applying the ABS. This only happens on left turns. No issue (yet) doing right turns. Noticed it not long after i purchased the bike back in 2021.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
The bike seems to get shaky or even start to skid while taking turns which causes the bike to pull either towards on coming traffic or guardrails. Somebody is either going to get seriously hurt or possibly die as result of poor design. My bike currently does this when it wants to I have no warning lights on. Please get involved and get this fixed, you'd possibly be saving a life.

WHEELS
I was driving on the interstate at 65 mph. I felt a bump and realized my right front wheel had fallen off and I was riding on the rotor. I applied brake lightly to come to a stop and noticed the only thing holding the rotor on was the brake pads. If I had not applied the brakes, the rotor would have fallen off, the axle would have dug into the pavement and possibly flipped the bike. I was not able to locate the wheel. The bike is at a dealership and have received a quote for repair. My insurance adjuster will look at it in a couple days. I noticed no warning signs, no shaking of the handle bars, no message from the bike prior to the incident.

STEERING
While driving at speeds around or above 20 mph when turning left the ABS or braking system begins activating causing a very serious hazard. This does not happen at any speeds when turning right. This has been reported by numerous Ryker owners. I have brought it into the shop and they are not able to locate or resolve the issue. This is an extremely dangerous situation as the biker will lose control at high speeds and potential force the driver off road or into another lane. This happens all the time and is constantly happening.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
When turning left at roadway speeds whether it a slight or stronger turn, the right front brake grabs add though the abs is kicking on. This makes it sometimes hard to steer and make the corner. We had the dealership check the issue and we were told there is nothing wrong. There is most certainly something wrong

STEERING:STEERING WHEEL /HANDLE BAR:YAW/ANGLE SENSOR
2020 Ryker 600 has wobble on left hand turns. Has been in for service 9 times (currently in at this time). Concern is I am going to loose control and end up in a ditch, off the side of a mountain or hitting another vehicle. Before wobble started bike would throw VSS codes.

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
While riding the bike with my 9 year old son as a passenger we came up on a slow vehicle. Attempted to pass in a passing lane to the left side of the slow car, we were traveling about 50 mph. The both lanes were flat and straight with no rough pavement. I got into the left land and throttled to accelerate. Once slightly ahead of the car I started to turn to the right to complete the overtake and upon pulling the handlebars to initiate the turn it stated hard braking both front wheels like the abs kicked in. I released throttle and kept straight and now the car is beside us again. Throttled into a little to attempt to pass again and the same thing happened again. When attempted to turn right it started locking both front brakes up. This time I noticed vss flashing on dash. I throttled hard this time as the car was now beside us and held on for dear life and once moving straight and not turning it quit the braking / shaking. We pulled off up the road and gathered our thoughts and even the slow car stopped to check on us and thought our wheel was falling off. Only happened those 2 times and thes rest of day was fine. Truly a dangerous situation and if it had been my wife on my bike instead of my 60lb son, i don't think I could've overpowered the jerking of the handlebars and I think we would've wrecked.
