2019 CAN-AM Ryker

The Stability Control System engages on low speed left turns when it is not required. It does not engage on right turns at similar speed and sharpness of corner. Power is cut to the rear wheel and the right brake engages, causing a "wobble", unsteady, and jumping sensation. This creates unease and the sense of losing control. I've been told this is a common problem that the YAW sensor and sas system is faulting. please get this fixed as it is dangerous.

The vehicle Stability Control System engages on low speed left turns when it is not required. It does not engage on right turns at similar speed and sharpness of corner. Power is cut to the rear wheel and the right brake engages, causing a "wobble", unsteady, and disconcerting sensation. This creates unease and the sense of losing control. Can Am has a service bulletin that may be related to this problem: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10181946-0001.pdf They will apply this fix if under warranty, but my warranty has expired. Many people have experienced this or similar problems.

When making left hand turns the rear brake and front right surges on its own making it hard to control the vehicle. BRP knows the issue and has a TSB on it but the fix is a bandaid. The problem is the bearing failures that keep occurring in the pitman arm due to poor design, but BRP is saying this isn’t happening, even though it is a major complaint on the BRP Ryker forms. BRP TSB number # 137209

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.

On 06/28, while operating my vehicle at around 20 miles an hour I received a "Brake Failure" warning (indicated by a message on the vehicle display) and my brakes began to fail to fully engage. I was able to stop the vehicle after pressing the brake multiple times. I shut down the vehicle and the brakes returned to normal operation, however after riding just a few miles the issue began again. The issue persists and the requirement to "pump the brake peddle to achieve a stop remain consistent. I have taken the vehicle to a shop to have the vehicle inspected and repaired. The vehicle has 10,800 miles on it and recently had the recommended 12k mile maintenance performed on it (May of 2022) by a certified technician, at a certified dealer (Ridenow Powersports in Goodyear Arizona). No issues were reported at the time during that inspection. The vehicle has not been used in a highly spirited way and the brakes applied in normal, dry, conditions. No constant brake compression while riding or any other abnormal operation conditions. I contacted Can Am and they provided no insight, suggestion or direction other that "see an authorized dealer".

while making a left turn the right front brake comes on and causes the steering to shake and the rear to seem to fishtail. the bike has been back to the dealer for repairs several times. the last time it was there 10 months. got it back in march and it was good for almost a month and then it started again. the dealer is trying but can-am doesn't seem to be much help. been in the shop for over 15 months total.

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.
