Owner report 11658338 · 2025-05-02 (May 2, 2025)
Common problem amongst Can Am Ryker riders. When making a sweeping left turn between 20-40 mph, the right front wheel will brake/accelerate on it's own and the bike will jerk. It also causes the right wheel to wobble forcing me to accelerate or decelerate to retain control of the bike. I quick google search produced hundreds of other riders experiencing the same issue and that BRP/Can Am does not have a permanent fix for this issue. I love riding my Ryker, but have avoided it for anything more than a couple mile ride to the store for fear of lo…

Owner report 11760603 · 2026-08-29 (August 29, 2026)
Brake light stays illuminated even when brakes are not engaged. Upon research internet shows this is a recall issue affecting 35,000+ can-am rykers but when I contact my dealer they say that it is not a recall. Can someone please look into this? I believe it should absolutely be a recall and fixed at no cost.

Owner report 11551380 · 2023-10-23 (October 23, 2023)
When making left turns the computer causes the left turn to become unsafe, a feeling in the steering line a flat tire, or otherwise causing over steering and can result in accidents due to the faulty computer system. Issue appears to effect many Can Am Rykers, it is a known defect per the dealers, and even through 4 years of production Can Am has failed to resolve this known issue. There is no solution or work around, except to put up with it. The vehicle stabilize computer system caused intermittent "limp mode" problems after or during the …

Owner report 11587361 · 2024-05-07 (May 7, 2024)
BRP has launched a recall campaign (23V855) for the fuel pump on ALL YEARS of Can-Am Ryker spanning from 2019-2024 but somehow my 2023 [VIN removed] ryker is not included in the affected population. I've seen too many instances of the ryker being stranded on the side of the road that I am beginning to get worried that I might get stranded as well. My Ryker is an early 2023MY production(september 2022) so I have reasons to believe that my unit should have been included in the affected population. Can you please add my vehicle to the affected pop…
