2021 Can-AM Ryker Suspension Problems

“Less than one month old, not even 200 miles,had a VSS fault. Took to dealer they said it was a steering issue and fixed, so they said. Less than a month again same issue VSS fault steering Yaw sensor. Rook to dealer again they had bike about a month to fix and replaced many parts and no issue since, however this issue happens when making hard/deep left turns, now I have learned that. So when I ride I take it easy on these turns and cornering.”

“When making left turns the rear wheel feels like it wobbles then the other day when making a left turn from a stop the right front wheel felt like the brakes where engaging then a little farther down the road making another left turn and the right front brake engauged again and a vss fault occured anf the bike went into limp home mode when I check the codes I get c006c and c0063 which is a yaw sensonsor and a steering sensor. It's a scary feeling to have your right front wheel grab when your turning left. …”

“When making left turns, the Ryker suddenly would ‘skip’ on the right hand side, as though it was lagging behind any time above about 35mph. This caused a safety concern because to keep with the speed of the road, the Ryker would begin to slip out of a turn and be unstable. No warning lights, brought to mechanic and they stated this was a common problem, enough that BRP has issued a service bulletin and they saw five with this problem in two weeks.”

“During left-hand curves, even at slow controled speeds, the vehicle decreases engine power and the brakes begin to pulse. Eventually, the vehicles engine light illuminates, throws trouble codes for the VSS (VEHICLE STABILITY SYSTEM), and goes into limp mode , which gives the vehicle a limited amout of power and speed, in order to be able to reach home or service center. Dealership techs were able to reproduce these symptoms on test rides. First attempt at repair was the changing of the YAW sensor. …”

“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. …”
