2022 CAN-AM RYKER Complaints

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 attempted to accelerate, but the motorcycle stalled again. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, and the motorcycle shut off unintendedly. The contact was able to restart the motorcycle, but the failure persisted. The motorcycle was ridden to the dealer where it as diagnosed and the failure was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V855000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 600.

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 throttle is quickly relaxed. Hard to describe, but the sensation feels like you are being “squirted” out of the turn. I first noticed this barely a month after I took possession of the machine and thought it might be a normal handling trait. As I became more acquainted with the various user’s groups, I find it was not normal and a much more serious problem that apparently hasn’t been successfully addressed by the manufacturer over the years it has been reported. Unlike some of the others who have reported similar occurrences, my vehicle has not displayed any error codes on the display screen, nor has it gone into a limp mode. Due to these conditions, I will not take this vehicle on any road trips for fear of being stranded or involved in an accident being caused by this dangerous handling anomaly. I love this vehicle, but due to this issue, I don’t feel it is safe.

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 unsafe on the vehicle, no longer willing to ride.

Vehicle repeatedly goes in to limp mode for VSS faults related to steering codes. Dealers are unable to repair and report that many other of the same model have the same problem. Many other owners in the online community report the same issue with no fix in sight. The vehicle is essentially unusable and the manufacturer does not appear to have any intent to remedy the situation.

Bike intermittently goes into limp mode for VSS fault and codes related to the steering rate/yaw sensor. Had the problem confirmed and the manufacturer-recommended steering upgrade done by local Can-am dealer but the VSS fault and limp mode still happens, intermittently. My understanding, from reading forums online, is that this is a very common issue. I would rather they turn the VSS system off entirely than than have the vehicle be nearly unusable at random intervals. Getting slowed down to a max speed of 50 mph here in AZ where most of the highway speeds are 65 mph or higher, with no warning, is quite dangerous and nerve-wracking. I live right off of a 65 mph highway so driving a bike that randomly limits itself to 50 mph is not safe, let alone convenient.

The issue with my 2022 rally my dealership said they can recalibrate the sensor but this is the 2nd time it has been braking. I was coming home and on sharp curves roads it start to brake left but turning right was fine i was able to go around 50mph but going left it was slowing me down to 10-35mph i even had a guy in a BMW tailgate me because my bike would slow down. This is extremely dangerous and can get me killed.

The contact owns a 2022 Can-Am Ryker. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the motorcycle failed to accelerate as intended. Additionally, the contact stated that the motorcycle had failed to start several times. The contact stated that when the motorcycle was started, the motorcycle idled roughly. The motorcycle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the battery had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact purchased and replaced the battery; however, the failure persisted. The motorcycle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 900.

I took my bike in shortly after I purchased it advising that it was not reading the gas properly and as I drive the gas mileage went up The fuel gauge reads full but not the mileage. Once the tank was almost empty the fuel light came on even though 2 miles before the gauge read full. When I took it to Ride now on rancho they said that there was nothing they could do and I needed to contact the manufacturer. I called them and they told me to take it back to the dealership and call once I was there even though I was already told there was nothing they could do. I’ve read numerous complaints about this same issue yet there has not been a recall for this. Only for the fuel pump which I just had done in hopes of rectifying the situation however it did not it still reads 110 miles to empty. Although it supposed to get 32 miles to the gallon of a 5.2 call on tank

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.

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.
