- I am having a few small problems with my 2019 Can-Am Ryker Rally Edition. My coolant reservoir is leaking and I have a few other problems that I will go over in the video. I have information on all current recalls and service bulletins. Please check your Ryker for any of these problems if bought before June 2019 and always do a preride inspection.

Always have small problems with a first year production MC or Car/Truck. Manufacturers use you as a guinea pig to catch their engineering design issues. I always wait for second year build before I buy!
Wise!
Thank you for providing this great summary and video of the locations for potentials issues. I picked up my 900 Ace the day after it was built (June 11th); I'll be double-checking the areas that I wasn't aware of at the time that could be problematic. Great job!
Thanks RedHeckle. I am glad that I was able to help. The dealer was very nice for sharing this info and I will have my Ryker fixed in a few weeks. No worries. Only small problems. Hopefully, your Ryker is problem free. Ride safe and have fun. The Ryker is a blast to ride.
Good info, I purchased mine in March of 2019 so, now I know what to watch for. They did the recall for the master cyl6and handle bars but mine did not come loose. I am glad to see another person posting helpful flaws and remedies for the Ryker. Thanks....
No problem T47. Hopefully, you don't have any more issues and I am glad that they fixed your problems. I always try to be honest and give good info. Drive safe and have fun.
My dealer added the washer when I went in back in April. I'll be checking the others mentioned, thanks!
No problem Zach. I am glad that I was able to help you.
Great info .. glad I’m waiting until 2021.. hopefully kinks are out
Great information thanks for sharing with us! You just earned another subscriber. 👍🏻
Thanks DJ Project. They fixed all my recalls and the Ryker has been flawless ever since. I believe it is safe to buy a Ryker now. They figured out most of the issues.
Great, informative video! Thank you🙏🏼 Also appreciate your positivity.
Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it. Since the recalls were fixed, I haven't had any more issues. The Ryker is running great.
Thanks will look for these
No problem Susan. I hope you don't find any problems. Have fun and ride safe.
Good info. Thanks
My brakes failed at 65mph on an exit ramp, lost all brake fluid. At dealership right now still waiting to hear what the problem was. Thanks for the info.
No problem Chris. I am glad you are okay. I am almost betting your master cylinder was put on incorrectly and your diaphragm failed or your diaphragm was bad in general. Let me know how you make out. Someone was looking out for you.
Glad you are ok and glad you got it to the dealer ok
That is fucking awful. I’d be raising a lawsuit for a brake failure issue. That is unforgiveable.
ONYOURSIX TV yeah but they got most of the bugs out. It should be fine lol
Two weeks ago I was turning my bike around in a driveway. It flew into about 4th gear, throttle stuck, breaks failed, could not stop, barely steer. Horrible accident! I am blessed to be alive. Broken hip, sliced open gut and much more. I wasn't even driving it. Piece of crap!
Anyone else hear of this? 2016
I am glad that you are okay. Sorry to hear about your accident. In your second comment you said 2016. Is that a 2016 Spyder you were on?
There is no 4th gear, it is a CVT
@@TheMoparbob It is not an ATV it is a motorcycle. Three wheel. Yes it does have 4th gear!
Have a problem with cornering to the left . safty senser keeps applying brakes , how is this over come
tell me which washer is missing from the steering column or its number?
Hey mate good review. I was about to buy a Ryker until I seen your vid. You saved me $$$$. The bike I was about to buy was before June 19 and the dealer told me there were a few recalls that needed to be updated before I buy it. How do I know they actually fixed the recalls?? Also is yours all fixed and any other videos with new updates
I had all my recalls fixed. I am currently at 5k miles. No more issues. The dealer should have all the service records in the system. Mine is running great now. I think BRP has the Ryker figured out now. You can get a BEST warranty at any dealer even over the phone. They cost about $700 for 3 years. A good deal would be about $650. I highly recommend one. It coveres everything pretty much but brakes and tires.
The Ryker you are buying should have new wheel nuts. You can tell if they are upgraded because they have an offset tooth. Also the radiator coolant bottle is a better plastic with a better seal. You should have very little play when pulling straight up on the handle bars. Also the wiring in the wheel should be clean.
Good to know. Thanks.
No problem Sharon. Glad I can help. Hopefully, you don't have any problems.
That’s the joys of riding a first production year bike. It’s a bit like beta testing really, while they get rid of initial gremlins. But it’s like that with all new first year production run vehicles. I’m waiting to see what little surprises Ripley has in store for me. I still wouldn’t part with her for all the tea in China. 😎 Ride Safe Brother. Namaste 🙏🏻
It's all good George. I love my Ryker. It has brought me tons of joy. I just hit 1800 miles on it today. I won't get the recalls fixed until July 30th. Once the recalls are fixed, I don't see any future problems. I am taking it today to a 4th of July party and filming lots of video. My anniversary is also the 4th of July. My favorite day of the year. Hopefully, I can put a good video together.
budyser365 Have an awesome 4th of July and Happy Anniversary to you both. 🥂🍾
Glad to know.
WOW!!! I'm in the market... and this is a great wake-up call for me. I rather feel like I'm shopping for a Yugo-level product at a BMW-level price. Holy crap!
I bought the 1st year model and one of the 1st Rykers off the assembly line. I figured I may have some issues and got an extended warranty. I had all the recalls fixed and haven't had any issues since. The 2021 and 2022 models seem to be okay so far. I think you are safe purchasing those years. Don't let the video stop you from buying one. I have about 7000 miles on mine now with no further issues. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Great video. Thank you very much for sharing. Just took a 2019 Ryker 900 on a test drive and I need to find out if it was purchased before June. Mom says it looks like a lawnmower. 😂 I liked the riding experience but I am disappointed in the quality.
No problem hopefully you found it helpful. I got all my recalls fixed and the Ryker has been flawless ever since. Don't let the video stop you from buying one. They are tons of fun and all the kinks have been ironed out now.
Great info
My 2021 is having those same issues besides the coolant ! But I have not honestly checked but my brakes was the reason I’m here failure light turned on and also have leakage around where you fill the brake fluid !
@@mikepires6901 sorry to hear you are having some issues. Your warranty will definitely cover everything. It sounds like your master cylinder was installed incorrectly for your brakes. A lot of shops put them on wrong. I am on my 3rd coolant tank lol. Other than the coolant tank issue that I keep having, all the other problems have been fixed.
My right front blinker stopped working on June 2, turned out to be a wiring problem. It was fixed by the dealer with no cost to me.
Brp is pretty good at getting the problems taken care of. I am glad that you got it fixed. I have to wait a few weeks before they can get me in. The summer is backing them up.
Thanks
Last year I purchased a brand new 2021 Ryker Rally. The drive shaft "O Ring" failed at only 1,000 kms leaking out all the oil. Luckily I was still in town and not on a road trip. FYI....BRP warranty road side service only picks up the machine and not you. Fast forward to 2,500kms, now the machines anti-freeze reservoir plastic bottle is beginning to fail (leak). Knowing what I know now I would have never bought this product. Buyer beware.
Hey there. I bought my Riker in January of 2019. And it has been in the shop three times. Once per year after the initial year that I purchased it. The first time was a recall issue dealing with incorrect fluid levels from the factory. The second recall was issued for some type of bolt/Nut they could potentially crack in the wheel. And now, in 2022, they're telling me that I have some type of steering column problem and can-am now will not repair it. My dealership says that factory warranty is expired. and I understand that. However, I do have an extended warranty. Now I am back and forth with Can-am and my dealership to try and get this issue resolved. My dealerships says that it'll be $275 out of pocket cost. I'm not paying that and I will voluntary repo the darn thing if that's how can-am is going to play it and I'll explain to the bank, my dealership, and can-am themselves as to why I will no longer pay. but any suggestions on what to do should they not fix it for me?
I'm having an issue with my Ryker rally the rear lights are flickering in the middle of the night, THEY just come on, and flicker and blink
That is an odd problem. It sounds like a wiring issue somewhere. Check the wires near the front wheels. Mine were routed incorrectly. A lot of people got damaged wires from them rubbing the front wheels. I am not sure what wires control what unfortunately. Hopefully, you get it fixed soon. I am sorry to hear that you are having issues.
Just had some warranty work performed on my 2019 Ryker 900 Ace. Had gone to the Dealer over a month ago for a high pitched - squeal type of noise on the right side. Turned out it was the fuel pump. Mechanic witnessed and heard the noise, they ordered a new pump and it was installed. They also did the recall work on the steering assembly and the Brake diaphragm at the same time.
I have also noticed a clicking sound on both front wheels similar to when we used to cloths pin baseball cards to the spokes of our bicycles. Is that what brought your attention to the wires? I'll have to take a closer look at mine and also bring that to their attention again. Had reported the clicking a number of times to them, but they did not hear it.
I am glad you got all your warranty work done. The clicking is what made me inspect the wheels closely. It was the wires bouncing off the spinning portion inside the wheel. I moved the wires and the clicking was gone. I check my wires now every ride. My warranty work is scheduled for July 30th. The dealer is really backed up with summer repairs.
@@budyser365 The fuel pump problem was first noticed in middle of May. It took over a month to get a replacement because BRP hadn't released it a s a part. Just producing for new Ryker sales.
While everything was done, had purchased the Shad Hardcase and mount for them to install.
Only cost $63 since the bike was there for the other work.
@@budyser365 Took delivery of my Ryker April 20th very pleased with it.
Almost didn't buy after seeing the videos of the owner who had the right front tire disengage while riding.
@@njmedic1659 I love my Ryker. I think they have all the bugs worked out now. I have been riding mine since February. My Ryker is a January model. No regrets. My wife started riding it now. She got her learners permit and took it out in traffic for the first time yesterday.
@@budyser365 Wife has her Motorcycle Endorsement her in New Jersey and got her to ride it for the first time last week in our community.
Offered to get her one, but due to the rules of our 55+ Community we can have so many vehicles.
Wow those are not minor problems, I can't believe they let you drive off with a leaking expansion tank they should have swapped that right out same with the wiring they should have done it on the spot or nylon tied it to make it safer. I think the most consistent thing I've heard about the riker is it's poor quality and more than that the dealers seem really not to care once they get it off the showroom floor, I would say sending you out with a split seam on your expansion tank and the new vehicle is a pretty bogus thing to do but I bet they said they have to order one right there's been a bulletin out but they're not stalking anything for their customers
My Ryker rally has some noises in the right wheel when running, I brought it to dealer they can’t fix it do you know what the problem is? Thank you in advance
I just had some issues with the right wheel making noise. It was the caliper sticking. The dealer cleaned the whole brake system and replaced the fluid. The noise is gone now.
I had the same problem with my coolant leaking. They replaced it for free.
That's good to know. My dealer said they would also replace it for free. It seems like quite a few Rykers have the same problem. Hopefully, a seemless one will be released.
I'm waiting to second year release.Fix everything from first year.
That's a smart move. First year products always have bugs. They seem to have it figured out now though. Hopefully, no more problems pop up.
I'm with you on that one. Still, pretty worrying though.
@@7anthillmob I think once my recalls are fixed I should be okay. So far the Ryker has been really good to me. I have a 2 year warranty. I am going to buy another 3 for safe measure. It is $899 for another 3 years. Peace of mind.
Have you had any indicator problems?
Everything on the indicator has been fine. My replacement antifreeze container is leaking again. I am going for a 2nd replacement once it gets warmer.
Just curious, what year do you have?
I bought the 2nd Can-am Ryker in Pennsylvania in January 2019. I expected some issues with a first year model. I got all the recalls fixed and it has been running flawlessly. They have all the issues fugured out now.
You say before and after June 2019. What about one assembled and purchased "in June 2019"?
The dealers received the updated info the first week of June. I would talk to your dealer and see if all these problems were taken care of.
@@budyser365 I agree make sure the thing was assembled properly, and all the recalls have been taken care of. My dealer "worked my Ryker in" one morning it took an hour or less to take care of the "recalls". I have no idea if they checked for the brake issue, or the druling coolant canister... but it seems that an owner could make those checks if BRP would post instructions. But after reading the e-instructions that they have posted for most "options" they are totally incomplete, and lacking a lot, and they are poorly written.
@@the1spyderryder That is awesome that they took care of your issues so fast. I hope when I take mine in that they don't have it long. I love riding it. Most of the issues are minor with the Ryker and can be found with a preride inspection. When I get the Ryker back, I may do a follow-up video if I find out anything new.
@@budyser365 the Ryker is such an awesome "TOY" I love mine and love to ride it ! People like to raze me, but my Ryker will do stuff NO Harley can ever do! Lol and that's a fact ... do you want to ride a exciting ride or a turtle....rofl...have fun man!
Very good info,and glad you cought it before it got crazy.
Thanks Post Tramatiq. The dealer was very nice and showed me all the info on his computer. Everything I talked about was listed in green on the screen. I always do a preride inspection. You never know what you will find.
@@budyser365 in the military its called a pmcs post maintenance checks I still do it also. As well as my nightly security checks around the house. Lol
I was going to look at one of these, but after your video, I probably won't. What a total lack of quality control!
I bought the 2nd Ryker sold in Pennsylvania in January of 2019. I was basically a tester for a brand new model. I do have a 4 year warranty. They gave me 2 years and I bought 2 years knowing I was testing a 1st year model.
After all the recalls were fixed, it has been flawless. The newer models have all the bugs worked out. I have over 6k miles and the Ryker has been loads of fun.
Definitely look at one. You will have a blast. I would buy the extended 3 year warranty for peace of mind. It will cost you an additional $675.
My 2020 still had steering column problem.
Sorry to hear about your steering column problem. Even after I got the washer put in, I still have some play if I pull up on the handlebars. The dealer said it is normal. The Ryker handles perfectly and steers correctly though. Since all my recalls were fixed, I haven't had any issues thankfully.
What are the best tips before I go to buy a Ryker ?
All of the bugs should be kicked out now. All my recalls were fixed and I have 3000 miles on mine. No more problems. It is running like a champ.
My best advice would be, buy the Rally Edition only. The upgrades are totally worth it. Stronger rims, skid plate, radiator screen, Rally mode, way better shocks, hand guards, and Max Mount included in the price. The regular 600 and 900 don't have those. Also, you should be able to get one for around $12700 to 13k total cost out the door without adding anything to it. The sweet spot is the $12700 mark.
@@budyser365
$18,890 (AUD) in 'OZ'. (Australia)
Warm greetings.
'Best tip'? TAKE IT FOR A LENGTHY TEST RIDE !
If you do not like it, DON'T BUY IT.
DO NOT be pressured into purchasing it.
This is my 'best tip', and I have been riding for 5 decades.
Run as fast as you can in the opposite direction :P
The only official recall I have been able to find is the wheel nuts. When you say recall, I assume there's paperwork stating that. I can't find it. Please post these paperworks if you have them.
Some are recalls and some are service bulletins. I don't have the paperwork. The dealer showed me on his computer screen.
I wish there was a way to see them. I believe you and know they are out there. I just would like to see all the service bulletins so I don't miss something.
I have a 2021 rally with only 800 miles on it barely ride the thing n now its been in the shop for 3 weeks problems with my gearbox its been frustrating dealing with my dealership no communication i had to call brp to lite a 🔥 under their butt to even get a call back. I paid for this bike in cash no problems now im getting horrible service i just want my money back or a new bike.
It sounds like they did not put the correct amount of fluid in the gear box. They changed the fluid level amount a few months after the 2019 was released. Too much fluid causes seal leaks and too little or none caused a blown transmission.
@@budyser365 yea they put a brand new gearbox on it n it’s still not working
@@khali_mamuvids5335 a lot of dealers have been forgetting the fluid. I have seen too many blown transmissions from dealer error.
What about the 55+MPH TAIL WOBBLE?
I actually don't have any tail wobble at all. The bike is very stable even at high speeds. It was very stable even at 90 MPH. I honestly never heard of that issue and I am part of a lot of Ryker groups.
budyser365 sorry. I thought I heard you say that...
In road groves always expect it. Same concept as a motorcycle with a car tire.
We bought 2 2020 Ryker Rally Editions 900cc and no problems, love them.
Grooves , uneven pavement etc will effect how it steers/ handles so you ride and get experience, ( search ahead as you ride, locate anything ahead, anticipate how it will effect your ride, decide how you will handle it and finally execute how you will maneuver on your bike safely.
Can -Am offers a safety rider class info on their site.
We took the course, was 3 days and so well worth it.
Keep safe and enjoy every day you can get on your Ryker and hit the roads..
How can i more grownd clerence
That's a good question Gary. I haven't figured that one out yet. I would love to have a few more inches of ground clearance.
1st year models always have some sort of issues, thankfully that’s why they include a warranty! I sold Luxury cars for almost 20 years. Most were great, some were a nightmare AKA Jaguar! LOL! Great warranties but I rather have a trouble free car, thank you. Moved to Lexus and never looked back! Jags sucked really bad. Then after Obama ruined our economy I moved to Hyundai!! Howl cow, what a pleasant surprise. They use to be junk, not anymore. Spent the last 5 years selling them. I’m retired now from the car business but I learned a lot in the business. Got a ton of street smarts in that business. There’s lots of dirtbags in that business, but the stores I worked for were all top notch, or I wouldn’t work there. My CSI (customer satisfaction rating) was always in the high 90% rating month after month and so was the store’s or wouldn’t have worked there, period. I really got lucky when I found Pugi Hyundai in Downers Grove, Il. They are a Hyundai/Genesis dealer that operated like they were a Lexus store only not as expensive. Miss them a lot. But the long hours and working every weekend sucked. Still love them quite a bit. As a matter of fact before I retired, I bought me and the wife a 2015 Elantra Limited. That’s the fully loaded model. The only option I didn’t get was the Navigation package. It even has heated seats in the back!! It has never needed the warranty in the 5 years we have owned it and All it has needed was tries front breaks wipers and a new Battery! Pretty perfect, in my book!
Been looking at the F-3 with the bags in the back. However the Dealer won’t budge on the price! I may wait until winter to buy when they are hungrier. I don’t pay MSRP for anything anymore!
Great information. Thank you for sharing. It sounds like you had a great career and learned a lot.
Thanks, I did learn a lot. For instance GDI injection is great for gas mileage but dual injection is best! GDI feeds the gas directly into the combustion chamber which gives more power while saving gas mileage. My Elantra can get up to and over 40 MPG on the highway. But the older port injection keeps the intake valves stems clean by constantly blowing them with fuel. GDI can cause carbon build up on the intake valves causing a whole new crop of problems. Their new motors will be dual injection. GM has it on some of their newer models but I wouldn’t buy one of those POS cars! Hate to say it but I’d only buy Toyota, Honda, or Hyundai in the future. Ford might be an option but they like GM are cutting corners on quality to make more money!! Planned obsolescence, so you need to buy more product! If you can afford to pay a car payment for ever leasing might be a better option. Hyundai/Genesis warranty is the best in the business 5 years 60 k miles and 10yrs100 k on the motor and trans. I’m not a leasing kind of person. I drive my cars for ever to get my $ worth out of them! I still work and probably will until the day I die so my go to work car is a 1997 Mazda Protoge. It has only 117000 miles on it and runs great! They also have a non interference engine in like most now cars that require timing belt changer before or at 100k miles or it could trash your motor if the belt or tension pulley’s fail. I use to hang out with the techs a lot to learn as much as I could. Been a bit of a grease monkey my whole life! LOL!!
My wheels had the same issue but it cut the wires
Ouch. Hopefully, the dealer fixed them free of charge for you. Mine is getting fixed July 30th. Until then, I keep checking on them.
@@budyser365 it was free also be carefull with going onto rocks one flew up into the fan and broke the plastic blades and messed up the radiator cost me $644 dollars for parts and labor
@@Buddhacustoms I will keep that in mind. I go on rocks a lot going to the lake. I just put over $1000 into my Suv. Drive shaft broke. Definitely don't have the cash for an expensive repair on the Ryker now. Thanks for the heads up.
Thinking about buying one....Now I am getting nervous.
They have all the bugs kicked out now. If you get a 2020, it has the wiring done correctly, updated wheel nuts, and the upgraded coolant holder. Everything should be fine. You get a 1 year warranty with it. I would buy the 3 year Best Warranty just in case on top of that. Don't pay more than $800 for the warranty. Once I got my recalls fixed, I have been trouble free.
@@budyser365 Great advice. Thanks you.
@@budyser365 thank you
Don't do it! I almost died two weeks ago when throttle stuck and breaks locked!
Dang I don’t know if I want to get one now!
Barry, I had all my recalls fixed and the Ryker has been problem free ever since. They even upgraded the antifreeze holder to a better model. I wouldn't worry now. It seems they got all the bugs out.
budyser365 ok thank you!!
We been looking at them
@@bigb9061 No problem. If you have any questions feel free to ask. If you buy one, get the Rally version only. It is a much better value and has many upgraded features over the standard model.
budyser365 yes I agree with you . That is what everyone says.
Thank you!!!
Sorry but just because you purchased your Ryker AFTER June 2019 does NOT mean that these issues do not exist. The Ryker could have been assembled prior to that time frame. It is always better to be safe than sorry. Have it checked out.
I totally agree Mike and always do a preride inspection. You never know what you will find or what new issues will pop up.
My buddy just bought his 1 week ago (July) and he has the gearbox problem, handle bar, and wiring.
@@gmmza03 Sorry to hear that. The dealer should have caught all those problems. They have all all the current service bulletins and recalls in their system. It seems like they dropped the ball. Hopefully, he can get his fixed soon and be problem free.
I think I flew on a Bombardier jet once.
I am not sure what that means but hopefully you had fun lol.
@@budyser365 The company has a division that makes jet liners. Also Ski Doo and Sea Doo. www.bombardier.com/en/aviation/commercial-aircraft.html
Transmissions are blowing because theres 3ml too much fluid in them?! WTF...
I hear you there. I couldn't believe it when the service tech told me either. He showed it to me on the computer screen. It was in green text. He said the transmissions are very sensitive to fluid levels.
You pay big money and lose your brakes, lose your coolant , plastic falls off , wheels come lose no thank you
Hopefully, next year all the bugs are worked out with big improvements. You always take a chance with first year products. I am glad that I have the warranty.
@@budyser365 That's some pretty serious "bugs". Too many safety issues that should have been ironed out before launch. Glad I'm waiting until April 20 before purchasing.
@@budyser365 it doesnt matter what it is, the first always has problems, and yes we test their designs, if ya think the Ryker has issues .... ya should have had a new 2008 GS Spyder. So far, the Ryker has had mostly little problems. The Brake problem NOT falling in that category...
And to think a new model cost millions of dollars to be tested to meet safety standards of NHTSA to be approved to be sold in the US. This is what most people dont understand. A friend, and riding buddy attempted to launch the TARUS another three wheeler powered by BMW, and it cast him a ment. For testing
@UCDsS2TY1CzoVE7c3EqUMp9g I am not worried Coy. I love my Ryker and most problems with a new vehicle appear in the first six months. Once they are fixed, you are usually problem free with just routine maintenance to perform. I want to buy a second Ryker for my wife but unfortunately it is not in the budget.
@@budyser365 I understand, the 2008 GS Spyder had Major problems , I have one, but I like the others just gritted our teeth and took it in stride... I love my 2008 Spyder GS, my 2014 STS , AS WELL AS MY 2019 RYKER and I will do as before, grin and bare it, and continue riding! Good luck, and safe riding to everyone!
What a whiner 🤣😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
I am just putting out an informative video. I had all my recalls and service bulletins fixed and I am very happy with my Ryker. It has been excellent and trouble free ever since.
just drive the thing
I drive it every day and love it. Once the recalls were fixed it has been flawless. Growing pains of a first year model. That is why there are warranties.
