  • 2019 CAN-AM RYKER
    - Lake Placid, FL

    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.

  • 2020 CAN-AM RYKER
    - Ashtabula, OH

    The bike seems to get shaky or even start to skid while taking turns which causes the bike to pull either towards on coming traffic or guardrails. Somebody is either going to get seriously hurt or possibly die as result of poor design. My bike currently does this when it wants to I have no warning lights on. Please get involved and get this fixed, you'd possibly be saving a life.

  • 2012 CAN-AM SPYDER RT
    - Burleson, TX

    Upon cruising down the highway about 60 MPH,my powered windshield support arm broke and the windshield fell back toward me in between the handle bars. Upon inspection,arm broke in half leaving the windshield unsupported. Our safety was put at risk because windshield was laying flat instead of upright for protection from winds and bugs or debris as designed. We had to prop it up with a coat to finish our ride. Doing research on Spyder owners forum,we discovered it is an ongoing problems with this support arm and we are not the lone incident. BRP should recall this for safety reasons. BRP sells a replacement unit for $800, totally unexceptable as this is a part that should not fail.no warning lights could predict this. Parts are available for inspection.
