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.

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.

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

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.

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: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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
