Consumer Description
I have a 2021 Can Am Ryker Rally. At approximately 3,000 miles I noted that when in a left turn the rear tire beings to wobble back and forth. During this time the throttle becomes unresponsive and reduces power. Example, I can be in a gradual left turn going 40 PMH and when the wobble begins, it will drop the speed to around 25 MPH. When I come out of the turn, power returns and the bike return to normal. During this transition, you have to be ready for this as it can be very unexpected as you are fighting the handlebars to go left. During each event I don’t get a fault code. I’ve been living with it as I figured that was just how the Ryker was. However, I had someone following me recently and they witnessed it and commented that something was not normal. So, I called dealers and Can Am. No one had heard of what I was describing. I began to look into it and noted that it might be a yaw rate sensor problem. Took it to a dealer where they said there was no fault code so they couldn’t do anything. I suggested resetting the Yaw Rate Sensor, which they did. About 10 miles from the dealership on I 81 in the passing lane, going uphill with a semi behind me and 2 to the right, the bike went into Limp Home Mode. The speed roller back unexpectedly. With a lot of arm waving and kind truck drivers, they let me in so I could get off at the exit. Drove it back to the dealer where they noted a Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) fault. Ride back home was uneventful until I was exiting I81 South and getting on I 64 East which is a gradual left turn. I was 2/3 into the turn with no issues so I was happy that it looked like it was fixed. Then the back brake locked up for a split second which startled me and to keep it into the turn I had to correct with the handlebars. Quite frankly, I almost lost control of the bike. My Ryker is parked and will not move again till I get an appropriate repair from Can Am as it is not safe.
