On left hand turns only never right turns, if you are going over 30 mph the ABS/Stability controls turns on and make the wheels wobble and slows it down in the turn. This abrupt slow down cause vehicles behind me to slam on breaks because there is no brake lights warning them of the slow down. I took it to a shop and after a month in the shop, they replaced the yaw rate sensor which did not fix the issue. I have put the bike in the garage for a month now because it is too dangerous to drive until this issue is solved.

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.

The VSS Vehicle stability system on the right tire goes on at speeds of 30 MPH or more while making a sweeping left hand turn. Like on a canyon, highway or street. This causes the vehicle to apply brake pressure only to the the right tire and then pulls the vehicle further to the right side while makeing a left turn. This can cause you to drift uncontrollably into the right hand lane, or into a gaurd rail or into another moving vehicle. This has happened numerous times.

This motorcycle continues to go into "Limp Mode". This has happened now two times with no explanation from the manufacture as to why.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.

While riding the bike with my 9 year old son as a passenger we came up on a slow vehicle. Attempted to pass in a passing lane to the left side of the slow car, we were traveling about 50 mph. The both lanes were flat and straight with no rough pavement. I got into the left land and throttled to accelerate. Once slightly ahead of the car I started to turn to the right to complete the overtake and upon pulling the handlebars to initiate the turn it stated hard braking both front wheels like the abs kicked in. I released throttle and kept str…

When turning left at roadway speeds whether it a slight or stronger turn, the right front brake grabs add though the abs is kicking on. This makes it sometimes hard to steer and make the corner.

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.
