STEERING
When making left turns the computer causes the left turn to become unsafe, a feeling in the steering line a flat tire, or otherwise causing over steering and can result in accidents due to the faulty computer system. Issue appears to effect many Can Am Rykers, it is a known defect per the dealers, and even through 4 years of production Can Am has failed to resolve this known issue. There is no solution or work around, except to put up with it. The vehicle stabilize computer system caused intermittent "limp mode" problems after or during the left turn also

STEERING, POWER TRAIN
At random, the bike feels like it has a severe rear wheel wobble when negotiating a left-hand curve. It's a frequent occurrence but inconsistent and unpredictable. I took it to an independent repair shop and my local dealership but the technicians were unable to duplicate the problem on their test rides.

STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, WHEELS
On left hand turns only never right turns, if you are going over 30 mph the ABS/Stability controls turns on and make the wheels wobble and slows it down in the turn. This abrupt slow down cause vehicles behind me to slam on breaks because there is no brake lights warning them of the slow down. I took it to a shop and after a month in the shop, they replaced the yaw rate sensor which did not fix the issue. I have put the bike in the garage for a month now because it is too dangerous to drive until this issue is solved.

The contact owns a 2021 Can-Am Ryker. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed with the brake pedal depressed all the way to the floorboard, the vehicle failed to come to a complete stop.

As a result of the failure, the vehicle collided with a parking barrier, causing damage to the undercarriage. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but was unable to assist. The failure mileage was 200.

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:ABS WARNING LIGHT
When making left turns, vehicle's rear tire wobbles severely. When doing this, it also causes the handle bars to try and straighten out during the turn almost causing the vehicle to hit a curb or guardrail. This only happens on left turns, never on right turns. After incident, the rear tire suspension feels spongy. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealer for this issue. The had it for 5 weeks and could never reproduce the issue. I have also contacted Can Am BRP about this issue who only recommended that I take the vehicle back to the dealership.

STEERING
My vehicle start to lose control when I drive around left or right corner the rear end felt like it was bucking or slipping. The VSS fault error and Limp Mode kicked in and the speed doesn't really matter once you are over 20 mph. My vehicle is at the dealership as of 8/13/23 to replace the pitman arm to see if that fix the problem. The VSS fault error happens about 4 times since I brought the vehicle.

SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION, STEERING
I have a 2022 Can-Am Ryker 900 sport. when I purchased it around a week or two later, my left brake and wheel started squeaking loud. I returned it to the dealer. One of the service men said its brand new brakes and tires give it time to wear down.low brake warning came across the screen and my handlebars started feeling loose,a lot of play. I returned it again. They checked my handlebars and fixed my front truck and said my brand new brakes were fine. It wasn’t my handlebars. It was my suspension starting to malfunction making my left brake pad wear uneven low brake warning came across again. I returned it again for the recalls the service man assured me this will fix my problem. last night August 5,2023 I was out, riding with friends, proceeded into a curve, and my handlebars would not allow me to turn my wheels. My left wheel seemed as though it was trying to lock up. I could not turn the curve.it started to do what they call the Death turn. Two of my friends almost ran into the back of me because the bike slowed itself down, My check engine light started flashing VVS fault code came across the screen, I end up hitting the curb scratching my rim, and now the bike is on limp mode.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
The cruise control will disconnect randomly causing sudden deceleration. Sometimes it will go off almost immediately after setting it and others it may stay engaged for several miles. It disengaging randomly is a safety issue as I’m not expecting the sudden deceleration and it could cause a vehicle that is following closely to hit me. This issue has been present since I purchased the vehicle and it has been looked at 3 times by the dealer. The first time they adjusted the brake pedal switch, the second time that switch was replaced under recall and the last time the cruise control cable was replaced.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
During left-hand curves, even at slow controled speeds, the vehicle decreases engine power and the brakes begin to pulse. Eventually, the vehicles engine light illuminates, throws trouble codes for the VSS (VEHICLE STABILITY SYSTEM), and goes into "limp mode", which gives the vehicle a limited amout of power and speed, in order to be able to reach home or service center. Dealership techs were able to reproduce these symptoms on test rides. First attempt at repair was the changing of the YAW sensor. The second attempt of repair was a bearing and bushing replacement repair kit in the pitman arm housing of the steering system. The third attempt of repair was to reprogram the steering angle sensor. It is currently back at the dealership for the ongoing problem of power loss and braking during left hand curves. This is a hazard to the operator of the vehicle and motorists in the vicinity because the vehicle is changing speed and direction with no operator input. Research shows this to be a very common problem for owners of this vehicle, and very little knowledge of the cause or repair from the dealerships or the vehicles manufacturer. Something needs to be addressed with this issue. Quite possibly a component or system of components may need to be redesigned and recalled. A recall pertaining to a wiring harness on the front fenders of this three wheeled vehicle has been addressed and repaired. I would like for my vehicle to operate correctly, as it should with a proper and permanent solution. and hopefully this problem be eradicated from the community of owners of this vehicle.
