CAN-AM Complaints

Hello On Saturday August 27th 2022 I was driving west on Route 30 in Mattson IL, when I observe smoke coming from the front of my bike. After driving pass a traffic light, I pull over to the right the road and tried to stop my bike applied the brakes and the paddle went straight to the floor. The bike would not stop and I hit the curb. Thankfully I was not injured doing this incident. I’ m report this possible deadly incident because after speaking with some Master Mechanics whom diagnose the problem as the brake line completely dethatched from the compression fitting secured to brake assembly. They indicated to me the brake line dethatched from a new 2022 bike with low miles is highly unusual and most likely a manufactured defect. Thank you. Greg Shade (708) 370-1423

I was riding my Ryker 900 as I approach the traffic light the handlebar started to move forward, I pulled into a gas station to lock it in place but it wouldn't lock, in order to drive home I had to grip the handlebars tight pull towards my body to keep it steady.

Aug 22 Parking brake will not release AGAIN. This has happened multiple times. This is a known issue and has been reported multiple times. This needs to be address/fixed by BRP! Sept 2021, I had to manually disengage parking brake to get the bike to move. I drove it without a parking break until I could get it in to the dealer. Dealership claimed it was a low battery issue and reattached the parking brake. Aug 2022, same issue waiting for the dealership to come pick up my bike for repair because I it not drivable.

THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BEREIMBURSED FROM THE MANUFACTURER BUT THEY ONLY OFFERED REIMBURMENT FOR THE COST OF THE PARTS NOT LABOR.

When you riding the bike for a certain amount of time, it cuts of or when you cut it off it don't start back up. It's very dangerous for you to be riding and the bike just shuts down. Then you have to.let the bike sit for an hour until the fuel pump cools off then it will start up again and drive normal. But the same thing happens again this my 3rd time this has happened to me.

spyder f3 7000 miles.. semi automatic transmission or paddle shifter is my problem and concern.. it has gone from 25% of the time to 80% of the time as it will not allow me to manually downshift the gearbox, causing me to slow down from 60 plus mph in 6th gear to 34 mph at which point it down shifts automatically, i cant stress the importance of being able to downshift when in traffic or the need to speed up to avoid hazards or slower cars.. also when this happens i cannot put the 1000 pound bike into reverse, causing me to manually push it backwards..3 back surguries i am not exactly physically able to do.. please let BRP know this needs their attention.. it has been to the shop but they said it wasnt doing this for them, yes they are liars, it doesnt throw a problem code to their computer therfore they dont know how to fix it, does that make sense? i need some answers and am going to be talking to BRP directly.. please keep me safe..

The contact owns a 2022 CAN-AM Ryker. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed in a severe thunderstorm, he attempted to engage the turn signals to notify other drivers that he was switching lanes however, he discovered that the motorcycle had no turn signals. The dealer was notified and informed the contact that the Year, Make, and Model of the motorcycle manufactured to be sold in the USA were designed without turn signals. The contact also stated that the exhaust of the motorcycle burnt his legs since there was no heat guard installed on the motorcycle. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact the motorcycle was not designed to be driven for long distances. The contact stated there were no screws between the wheels and the vendor. The contact stated that while driving in the rain, he had to reduce his speed to approximately 20 MPH, to prevent the motorcycle from losing traction control. Additionally, the glove box would become extremely hot while riding presenting a concern that important documents inside might become damaged by the heat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a recall repair however, the motorcycle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,400.

During a turn the handlebars became loose during steering. While steering the handlebars twisted counter clockwise (this was a left hand turn) approximately 30 degrees. After pulling them back into place, they were still approximately 3 degrees off center. This happened before the bike had even 200 miles on it. My safety was put at risk by not having full steering capabilities. I took the vehicle to the dealer, and they realigned and tightened the bolt down. There were no warning lamps, or indicators of any electrical or mechanical nature to indicate a bolt was loose.
