2022 CAN-AM Ryker

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 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.

On left hand turns only, even at lower speeds, the VSS system is kicking in, preventing safe control of the vehicle, was almost rear ended today when my vehicle refused to accelerate out of a left hand curve, speeding rating curve was 20mph, I was doing 10mph. This occurs frequently to varying degrees on a regular basis, always on left hand turns only. It's never happened on a right hand trun or curve.

I purchased my Ryker in June of 2022. Since my purchase I have been dealing with a death wobble in the front during left turns, a serious wobble in the rear during left turns, and continuous vss fault/Limp home mode failure. I reported the issue to the dealer and they attempted to correct the issue, but it has continued to fail. I contacted BRP the parent company, and they refused to respond. There have been 2 safety recalls and I am no longer feeling safe to ride the vehicle.

I got a VSS fault code (C0063) that sent my Ryker into a limp home mode which greatly reduced the speed at which I could travel. This code indicates a problem reported from the yaw sensor. Had I been on an Interstate highway, this could have possibly been a serious situation. I was about 10 miles from home but made it home safely. This fault code seems to be a recurring problem to many Ryker owners and I feel that BRP should either make a new sensor, eliminate it completely or look at the overall design of the vehicle to possibly discover a flaw in the frame, etc. This code can only be removed by taking the vehicle to a reputable dealer that has the proper equipment to do it and unfortunately these dealers are few and far between. The closest one to me is 50 miles.

VSS FAULT WITH LIMP HOME MODE CAME ON WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GET ON A HIGHWAY WITH SPEEDS GREATER THAN 55 MPH, THIS WAS THE FIRST ATTEMPT. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SPENT A COUPLE DAYS FIGURING IT IN THE SERVICE DEPT. THEY SAID BAD YAW SENSOR. SO A DAY LATER GETTING ONTO A ROAD WITH SPEEDS OF 50MPH IT KICKS INTO LIMP HOME MODE AND VSS FAULT. THEN 3RD TIME JUST LEFT THE SHOP WAS 3 MILES AWAY IT DID IT AGAIN. THANK GOD NOT ON A HIGHWAY. BUT GETTING OUT ON TO A ROAD FROM A STOP AND IT CUTS OUT AND INTO LIMP HOME MODE AND VSS FAULT. ALL THE CODES ARE THE SAME. C006C C0063. 3 TIMES I ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS NEW CAN-AM RYKER HAS ISSUES. AND IT CONTINUES. BRP IS NOT HELPING THEIR DEALERS AND DEALER TECHNICIANS TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. MY DEALER WHO SOLD ME MY BRAND NEW 2022 CAN AM RYKER 600 ACE, HAVE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND, THEY HAVE GIVEN ME A LOANER VEHICLE TO USE. BUT BRP IS NOT HELPING THEM RESOLVE THE ISSUES. THESE UNITS ARE GETTING DANGEROUS.

Driving ryker down road at speeds of 55 mph and motorcycle shuts down. All power lost instrument panel off. Was able to pull over to side of road fortunately. Computer says VSS fault will not start. A Facebook member of a group suggested I check number 7 fuse. I did and it was blown. It says it’s for electrical module. It’s 10 amps. I replaced and bike worked again. Next day it blows at an intersection when I’m stopped at a light in traffic. No power again. Pull over and blown number 7 fuse again.
