2009 Can-AM Spyder RS Steering Problems

“Riding on a two lane residential street when without any warning the steering pulled hard to the left and took me into the oncoming lane. Had a oncoming car been coming in my direction I would have hit it head on at approximately a 30 degree angle. This happened so fast and I was trying to counter steer back into my lane and almost flipped when the steering released. I had this same problem with a 2008 can am spyder. This problem was supposed to be fixed according to brp, but it is still happening. …”

“I purchased a 2009 rs spyder on 05/04/2010 and I have rode it 300 scary miles. This machine is dangerous to ride,it follows every seam in the rode surface ,jerking the machine back and forth. Sometimes you don't have good control of the direction the bike wants to take. I've been riding motorcycles all my life and know how to ride a bike,I've logged more 500,000 miles on motorcycles and this machine is scary to ride. I spoke to the dealer about my concern and he claims that I will get use to the way the machine handles. …”

“I have a 2009 can am spyder. There is a steering problem with the bike. I will be driving the bike straight and it will all of a sudden go left without my turning the handle bar in that direction. I have to then pull the bar right, it will click and then I will have control over the steering again. It has happened about six times now, and when it happens it is random. Thus far I have not had an accident but it is dangerous and brp needs to be working with the people that are having problems, compensating them or something. …”
