What owners actually said
35 reportsTire wobble and stutter on left hand turns. Throws VSS fault code C600c and C60063
ABS intermittingly engaging when taking left corners. I have almost crashed twice now as the brakes are unexpectedly locking up while taking a mild curve at 35 mph. I have had the SAS reset once already and I am still having this problem.
When making left hand turns over 25MPH, the right tire and rear brake lock in causing the front to wobble and the rear to skid and jerk. There is no issue with right hand turns

i was told that my ryker was safe to drive in to have the recall work completed and then my vehichle quit working because of the damage to the vehichle. i dont understand why the burdan to have my vehichle repaired is on me. I was told that thier roadside assistance would only cover a small percentage of the cost to have the vehichle towed and i would owe $745 just to get my vehichle to the dealer. If there is a known risk for the vehichle part to malfunction and lose power and not be able to start, then how is this considered safe to drive 100+ miles to the nearest dealer? The vehichle should have been immediately hauled in at the manufacturers expense to have the work done instead of leaving me stranded now without a means of transortation to get to work.

When making left hand turns under load, right wheel starts to slip, tuck, traction control kicks on, rear wheel starts modulating power with breaking, and then the right front wheel gains traction. this is a cycle and occurs every time I make a left and turn. This process occurs very quickly. Close to 1 time per second while making the left hand turn. It destabilizes the machine and causes partial loss of steering control. These symptoms are not replicated on the left front wheel when making right hand turns. Air pressure is correct on all tires. No loos suspension components noted. As mentioned, this occurs during every sweeping left hand turn.
I have a 2021 Can Am Ryker Rally. At approximately 3,000 miles I noted that when in a left turn the rear tire beings to wobble back and forth. During this time the throttle becomes unresponsive and reduces power. Example, I can be in a gradual left turn going 40 PMH and when the wobble begins, it will drop the speed to around 25…

I have a 2021 Can Am Ryker Rally. At approximately 3,000 miles I noted that when in a left turn the rear tire beings to wobble back and forth. During this time the throttle becomes unresponsive and reduces power. Example, I can be in a gradual left turn going 40 PMH and when the wobble begins, it will drop the speed to around 25 MPH. When I come out of the turn, power returns and the bike return to normal. During this transition, you have to be ready for this as it can be very unexpected as you are fighting the handlebars to go left. During each event I don’t get a fault code. I’ve been living with it as I figured that was just how the Ryker was. However, I had someone following me recently and they witnessed it and commented that something was not normal. So, I called dealers and Can Am. No one had heard of what I was describing. I began to look into it and noted that it might be a yaw rate sensor problem. Took it to a dealer where they said there was no fault code so they couldn’t do anything. I suggested resetting the Yaw Rate Sensor, which they did. About 10 miles from the dealership on I 81 in the passing lane, going uphill with a semi behind me and 2 to the right, the bike went into Limp Home Mode. The speed roller back unexpectedly. With a lot of arm waving and kind truck drivers, they let me in so I could get off at the exit. Drove it back to the dealer where they noted a Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) fault. Ride back home was uneventful until I was exiting I81 South and getting on I 64 East which is a gradual left turn. I was 2/3 into the turn with no issues so I was happy that it looked like it was fixed. Then the back brake locked up for a split second which startled me and to keep it into the turn I had to correct with the handlebars. Quite frankly, I almost lost control of the bike. My Ryker is parked and will not move again till I get an appropriate repair from Can Am as it is not safe.
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.
Fuel pump went it in the middle of riding randomly. Only has 1300 miles on it.
