STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I purchased my Ryker in June of 2022. Since my purchase I have been dealing with a death wobble in the front during left turns, a serious wobble in the rear during left turns, and continuous vss fault/Limp home mode failure. I reported the issue to the dealer and they attempted to correct the issue, but it has continued to fail. I contacted BRP the parent company, and they refused to respond. There have been 2 safety recalls and I am no longer feeling safe to ride the vehicle.

SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I got a VSS fault code (C0063) that sent my Ryker into a limp home mode which greatly reduced the speed at which I could travel. This code indicates a problem reported from the yaw sensor. Had I been on an Interstate highway, this could have possibly been a serious situation. I was about 10 miles from home but made it home safely. This fault code seems to be a recurring problem to many Ryker owners and I feel that BRP should either make a new sensor, eliminate it completely or look at the overall design of the vehicle to possibly discover a flaw in the frame, etc. This code can only be removed by taking the vehicle to a reputable dealer that has the proper equipment to do it and unfortunately these dealers are few and far between. The closest one to me is 50 miles.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
This motorcycle continues to go into "Limp Mode". This has happened now two times with no explanation from the manufacture as to why. The bike will lose engine power and immediately drop to speeds no higher than 55mph. This was advised to dealer and they were very familiar with this, and initially told me the repairs were denied by BRP, but that they covered the issue and fixed it. Less than 1 week later, the same thing happened. The check engine light comes on and the gauges read VSS Fault, Limp Mode. This is very unsafe as there is no explanation as to why this happens and engine power is loss at any given moment. I fear riding the bike on the freeway at high speeds and this happening and potentially causing me to be hit by another vehicle from the immediate loss of power. This is a well known issue and I don't feel this bike is safe for the road.

SERVICE BRAKES
Hello On Saturday August 27th 2022 I was driving west on Route 30 in Mattson IL, when I observe smoke coming from the front of my bike. After driving pass a traffic light, I pull over to the right the road and tried to stop my bike applied the brakes and the paddle went straight to the floor. The bike would not stop and I hit the curb. Thankfully I was not injured doing this incident. I’ m report this possible deadly incident because after speaking with some Master Mechanics whom diagnose the problem as the brake line completely dethatched from the compression fitting secured to brake assembly. They indicated to me the brake line dethatched from a new 2022 bike with low miles is highly unusual and most likely a manufactured defect. Thank you. Greg Shade (708) 370-1423

STEERING, STRUCTURE:BODY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNIT
The contact owns a 2022 CAN-AM Ryker. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed in a severe thunderstorm, he attempted to engage the turn signals to notify other drivers that he was switching lanes however, he discovered that the motorcycle had no turn signals. The dealer was notified and informed the contact that the Year, Make, and Model of the motorcycle manufactured to be sold in the USA were designed without turn signals. The contact also stated that the exhaust of the motorcycle burnt his legs since there was no heat guard installed on the motorcycle. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact the motorcycle was not designed to be driven for long distances. The contact stated there were no screws between the wheels and the vendor. The contact stated that while driving in the rain, he had to reduce his speed to approximately 20 MPH, to prevent the motorcycle from losing traction control. Additionally, the glove box would become extremely hot while riding presenting a concern that important documents inside might become damaged by the heat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a recall repair however, the motorcycle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,400.

STEERING
During a turn the handlebars became loose during steering. While steering the handlebars twisted counter clockwise (this was a left hand turn) approximately 30 degrees. After pulling them back into place, they were still approximately 3 degrees off center. This happened before the bike had even 200 miles on it. My safety was put at risk by not having full steering capabilities. I took the vehicle to the dealer, and they realigned and tightened the bolt down. There were no warning lamps, or indicators of any electrical or mechanical nature to indicate a bolt was loose.

THESE UNITS ARE GETTING DANGEROUS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Driving ryker down road at speeds of 55 mph and motorcycle shuts down. All power lost instrument panel off. Was able to pull over to side of road fortunately. Computer says VSS fault will not start. A Facebook member of a group suggested I check number 7 fuse. I did and it was blown. It says it’s for electrical module. It’s 10 amps. I replaced and bike worked again. Next day it blows at an intersection when I’m stopped at a light in traffic. No power again. Pull over and blown number 7 fuse again.
