In owners' words
What Ryker owners report
Recent steering complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
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.
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…
When making a left hand turn or a right turn at 40-45 mph it starts shaking,I have to slow down then it stops shaking,this could be an accident waiting to happen,,,the vehicle is a 2020 can am Ryker 600 ace
