2023 model • STEERING,SUSPENSION,WHEELS • 05/01/2025

Common problem amongst Can Am Ryker riders. When making a sweeping left turn between 20-40 mph, the right front wheel will brake/accelerate on it's own and the bike will jerk. It also causes the right wheel to wobble forcing me to accelerate or decelerate to retain control of the bike. I quick google search produced hundreds of other riders experiencing…

2023 model • SUSPENSION,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM • 06/01/2024

yaw sensor, codes C0063, C006C, rear end feels like it's trying to break free from the road.

2023 model • FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM • 05/07/2024

BRP has launched a recall campaign (23V855) for the fuel pump on ALL YEARS of Can-Am Ryker spanning from 2019-2024 but somehow my 2023 3JB2HEH43PJ000138 ryker is not included in the affected population. I've seen too many instances of the ryker being stranded on the side of the road that I am beginning to get worried that I might get…

2022 model • FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE • 03/21/2026

The contact owns a 2022 CAN-AM Ryker. The contact stated that while riding the motorcycle at an undisclosed speed, the motorcycle stalled.

The contact was able to restart the motorcycle, but the failure persisted.…

2022 model • STEERING,SUSPENSION,UNKNOWN OR OTHER • 10/09/2024

When entering a left hand turn at moderate speed, the vehicle will go into a lurching, bucking, hesitation period, usually when under slight or moderate acceleration. This results in an uncontrolled wobble that will eventually smooth out but can also result in a sudden burst of power that tends to rapidly propel the vehicle further to the left unless the…

2022 model • STEERING,WHEELS • 09/01/2024

Vehicle developed right wheel wobble on left turns over 90 degrees, when speed is ~40 mph or above. Unable to safely make turn, at speed. 3 trips to dealership, issue persists. Vehicle threw a “VSS fault” and went into “limp mode” preventing me from driving over 40mph - was in the mountains, 60 miles from home. Serious safety issue, feel…

2021 model • STEERING,SUSPENSION • 08/01/2024

When making left turns, the Ryker suddenly would ‘skip’ on the right hand side, as though it was lagging behind any time above about 35mph. This caused a safety concern because to keep with the speed of the road, the Ryker would begin to slip out of a turn and be unstable. No warning lights, brought to mechanic and they…

2021 model • FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE • 03/01/2024

The contact owns a 2021 Can-Am Ryker. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V855000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that while trying to…
