Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11528375, filed 2023-06“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. We had the dealership check the issue and we were told there is nothing wrong. There is most certainly something wrong”
NHTSA complaint #11462842, filed 2022-04“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 straight and now the car is beside us again. …”
NHTSA complaint #11432553, filed 2021-09“While riding the 2020 Can Am Ryker Rally, going into left turns the Ryker will stutter and shake the right front and rear wheel. Feels as tho it is applying the ABS. This only happens on left turns. No issue (yet) doing right turns. Noticed it not long after i purchased the bike back in 2021.”
NHTSA complaint #11540618, filed 2023-08“2020 Ryker 600 has wobble on left hand turns. Has been in for service 9 times (currently in at this time). Concern is I am going to loose control and end up in a ditch, off the side of a mountain or hitting another vehicle. Before wobble started bike would throw VSS codes.”
