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. I love riding my Ryker, but have avoided it for anything more than a couple mile ride to the store for fear of losing control or being rear ended when it decelerates on it's own. Please investigate.
When making left turns the computer causes the left turn to become unsafe, a feeling in the steering line a flat tire, or otherwise causing over steering and can result in accidents due to the faulty computer system. Issue appears to effect many Can Am Rykers, it is a known defect per the dealers, and even through 4 years of production Can Am has failed to resolve this known issue. There is no solution or work around, except to put up with it. The vehicle stabilize computer system caused intermittent "limp mode" problems after or during the left turn also
