Can-Am Ryker Rusty Wheel Hubs & The Missing Caps
Vložit

- Today, I wanted to share a solution I found recently to clean up the look of the Can-Am Ryker's rusty wheel hubs. We take a look at an OEM part from Can-Am designed to cover the wheel hubs and ask the questions: why aren't they on every Ryker and what Ryker models ARE they on?

In my previous employment, I was the engineer that worked with BRP on these wheel hub bearings. They're actually just a pair of deep groove ball bearings as opposed to an all in one unit which are typical in cars. The surface corrosion was always a concern with these even in prototype, so I'm glad to see they actually made a cap for them as this was one of the solutions I proposed. Also just to add, my 2019 Ryker 900 didn't come with them.
Wow, that is pretty awesome. I'm sure some of that stuff is covered under an NDA, but if you can or would want to talk about certain stuff, might be an interesting interview/conversation for a video?
@@3WheelKhalil Yea I'm not sure how NDAs work now that I'm not employed there. If you have specific questions you can PM me and I'll do my best to answer. edit: Wait, are there PM's in youtube? lol
What's interesting is that the cap does not look like a retrofit. It readily locked into place with 2 tabs at the 180 degree mark, and those tabs clicked into place in hub holes that look like they serve no other purpose except to secure the caps that didn't come with your Ryker. Seems like a manufacturing goof up, as I 'm sure Can Am wasn't trying to save $4 per Ryker by omitting them. Customers should insist on a dealer bulletin, where dealers are instructed to inspect, clean, lube and mount missing caps for all bikes coming in for service.
I cleaned off my rust with
Loctite Naval Jelly Rust Dissolver then protected it with WD40. Rust has not returned (completed 3 months ago.), but I still ordered it. :-) thanks for the find
Naval Jelly? Not sure I like the name haha, but I may have to try that in the future. Thanks for sharing that with everyone.

Thanks for the video and info, just got mine today from our friends up north and installing them on my 2020 rally. When I first got it in April, my hubs rusted up and I talked to BRP customer service and engineering. They said they had not heard of this issue, thought the dealers should paint the hubs at assembly, and never mentioned these caps. So I did what you did, cleaned them up and painted them myself. Thanks again for the tip.
I saw that part several months back but since there was no picture I wasn't sure about it. So thank you for taking the mystery out of it. Will order today. I dont have a lot of rust but rust is also dependent on location. Thank you again😉
Great find. I don’t have any rust but it looks so much better. Thanks!
Got mine and put them on yesterday!
Great video as always. Thanks, I’ve been going crazy trying to figure out how to cover those rusty tubes. Awesome
Yeah, it's always been a sore spot for me, but I've had these caps on for more than a few weeks now and I no longer have to stare at them while I ride. Very pleased.
Great video man. I really enjoy your video and information you provide.
Good info. Mine was a 2019 900 ACE but did not have it. Already ordered mine as well. Thanks for the video
Great find! Thanks for the info. Ordering today
Purchased Rally in June (2020)
no caps. Ordered today. Thanks man.
Good to know, I live in the south and have a 2019 Ryker Rally. I don't have any rusting issues but I'll keep this in mind
You're a lucky man, thanks for watching.
Ryker Rally 2020, no hubs installed & thanks for the link (Ordered today). The winter weather salt laid out here where i am is a son of a gun!
Curious if any Ryker Rally 2020 came with these at all?
Bought myself a pair for my Ryker. Thanks for the tip. I do not have any rust but these are good anyway.
Glad I could help. Even without rust, I think it looks a little more complete with them on.
I have been applying wd-40 once a week to the inside and outside of the hubs since I got the ryker in January. No rust issues so far here in Northeast Florida. When I went to purchase a Ryker, many of the brand new models had the hub rust and they were on the showroom floor. I searched high and low for a rust free Ryker. Knowing about the rust issue before purchase definitely helped me stay in front of the problem.
Yeah down in Florida, it's hard to avoid the rust. Glad you got out ahead of it. Wish I had done the same.
@@3WheelKhalil You can keep it nice once you clean them up by maintaining them frequently. A few mins of work once a week is better than hours of cleaning rust!
Thanks again for the tip !!! They arrived yesterday and they look great. I used WD40 instead of lithium grease, but I’ll keep an eye on them. My bike is only 3 months old so my weren’t too rusty yet.
Glad I could help!
Very helpful! I have a 2019 rally and did not have the caps. Plan to order ASAP
Cheap OEM upgrade and they actually provide a little protection. Win, win. Thanks for watching!
I have a 2021 Ryker and it did come with the inside hub covers.
Thank you for this information. I placed an order for my hub covers. I was really concerned about this rust problem.
Glad I could help!
Hi! Can-am ryker 2019 rally edition. From Quebec, Canada. No cap on my ride. Will ordre Them soon. Thanks for your infos. 👍
I have a 2019 900 rally purchased in Sydney Australia and have also never heard of or seen these caps but they are definitely now on my too get and too do list, just hope Adept have no probs mailing to Australia, thanks for sharing this top tip and thanks also for your other great vids.
If you've got a good dealer, you can also try calling them and having them special order the parts. May be easier for you over in Aussieland. Thanks for watching!
hey man any luck with gettin these here in aus?
Just picked up a 2023 CanAm Ryker Sport. It came with the wheel hub bearing caps already installed.
My 2023 Ryker Sport had these installed, but I purchased the Sling Mods solid cover.
Like you and am sure like many others I had the same issue..The rust.. I've been cleaning off rust for years with "PB Blaster".the rust wipes right off and.leaves an oily residue which greatly reduces the rust from coming back..When my Ryker was delivered to me at the dealer I had noticed that my bike didn't have the caps while others had them.I inquired about them and they ordered me the caps which I got at no cost. As far as the "Holes" I used engine "freeze plugs" and inserted then one the hubs.
Nice good recommendation to Ryker buyers, push to get the dealer to include them. Such a low cost item, they most likely would as to not miss a sale, but good luck getting them for free after the sale.
What size did you got for the freeZe plugs?
@@carlosoccoa Hey Carlos..I bought them at Advance auto.1 5/8 .part #02604
I have a 2019 Ralley purchased in January 2019. I have never heard of or seen these caps.
From what I'm seeing in the comments, seems like only the 900 and 600 have the wheel caps. Weird they would skip us Rally owners. Thanks for sharing!
THANKS FOR THAT INFO BECAUSE I AM AWAITING DELIVERY ON THE 2022 900 SPORT RYKER
Based on most of the recent comments, seems like they have started including these as standard. But it's always up to the dealer to make sure everything gets assembled correctly.
Just got my 19 ace back from the dealer from the 12k service, brp had them paint the inner hubs. I’m gonna order these caps, it’s so unsightly
No I didn’t have it on my Ryker but thank you for the tip and idea to get it I’m a lady
Ryker Ryder 2019 great video 👍
Good video 👍
Does this fit on the outside of the wheels? I purchased some that look like these for the insides of the front 2 wheels.
Yo, let me say thanks for all the tips so far. I'm new to Rykers and born bred Boynton Beach native. Let me know if you want ride with us on Friday evening. 4 Rykers and a Spyder.
Thanks for watching! Where are you all riding? Do you have an instagram, you can hit me up through there - 3wheelkhalil
I have a 2020 Rally purchased in July, no caps. Bought them a few weeks back.
Hmmm, not what I would have expected. Thanks for sharing!
2020 rally purchased in mid July, received in early Aug. It came with the caps.
Oh really? Virtual pat on the back for your dealership. Thanks for sharing!
Jesus Aragon so they did come with the ryker rally?
Yes they came stocked from the dealership -C. Rivera
I bought a 2020 rally in texarkana texas a few weeks ago and it had them
I just got a 2022 CanAm Ryker 900 ACE and I had those hubs already installed. The omission of the hub maybe a dealership assembly issue.
Bought my 900 Ace in July of this year. It has the caps.
Good to know, thanks for sharing that with us!
I have the 2020 900 ACE and it came with the caps.
I covered mine with acf50 to stop the corrosion...away to buy the caps though...the UK dealers have them back in stock....my ryker rallye is 8months old and didn’t have these either
Nice, gotta protect those things!
Hey my brother was installing some things on my ryker yesterday and noticed them already there. I got a 2021 ryker rally. Reason why he noticed them cause last year a buddy got a 2020ryker rally and he had to order them and mine just came with it
Glad that we are starting to see these become more standard!
2022 Ryker (I have the 900 sport) comes with the caps. Do you still get the rust?
Adding the caps and treating it with some lithium grease from time to time has kept it in much better condition.
Would the rust still happen inside the hole?? The caps cover the rim of the hole but you would still have to clean it out inside since it is still open right??? I have look at video that people paint it with rust resistance black paint. Maybe the paint and caps combo would be a complete solution..
For the most part the inner wheel hub tube has stayed relatively rust free, only the outer most part closest to the rim had some rust build-up. After cleaning it up and putting a little lithium grease on, I've been going strong for more than a few weeks with very little rust coming back.
That being said, I'm sure adding a little paint into the mix would lower the maintenance required to keep the hubs nice and clean.
My ryker a 2019 doesn't have the hub cover and I have the same problem with the dealership I got mine.
That will not stop the rusting; it will only hide it. The wheel hub should be upgraded to stainless steel under warranty.
2019 Ryker rally here and no caps.. I did just call my local dealer and gave them the part # and they special ordered them for me. $9 after tax for the pair, so it saves me on shipping
Awesome, definitely a good option for people with a competent dealer.
3-Wheel Khalil I wouldnt say they are conpetent.. I didnt buy from them and I probably wouldn’t let them work on my ryker.. but I hope they can manage to order a part.. we will see.
How long have you had your ryker before it started to rust ?
Man I had mine 3 months before the rust and never rode in rain
My 2020 ryker rally hubs were coated black from dealership.
That's pretty nice. Good on your dealer.
Hi brother question, how are does hub caps doing? Because I'm interested in buying a pair how are they holding on?
The caps themselves have been rock solid. Definitely recommend.
As far as rust, I checked back after about 3 weeks and it only has accumulated a small bit compared to normal, so I think the caps do really help. I plan to try some of the stuff suggested in the comments to dissolve the rust completely.
@@3WheelKhalil thank you I enjoy all your videos very helpful thanks
Are these only for the inside of the front wheels?
I believe so, at least that's all I have used them for.
I didn’t get any on my 2019 ryker
I'm going to do that
Just got my 2020 Ryker 600 and it had the caps
Congrats on your Ryker and thanks for sharing!
Has anyone had a problem with the Can am ryker rally brakes locking and not being able to stop?
Not at all, if that's happening something might be wrong with your ABS system.
It s like dealers always are doing this on vehicles skipping parts during prep.
Have you tried removing the caps and inspecting the previously rusted areas to ensure the rust issue isn't silently continuing underneath the caps? The only reason I ask is because these caps don't seem to be waterproofing the rusted areas underneath. Where there's water, there's bound to be rust.
Use a rust inhibitor.
Wd-40 makes one. There's one i use in the field thats a green can cv?. I can't remember all 3 enitials
chef souffle definitely gonna look into that one. And if the field is the type of field I’m thinking of, thank you for your service.

I purchase a 2021 Ryker Rally, and my bike came with them..NJ
I brought a 2020 ryker rally a week ago and It didn't come with the caps
Bc that's the rally it's only on the 900 and 600
@@marquelthegod6180 Thanks
Thanks for sharing that. Makes very little sense that they would skip this little piece on the most expensive model.
I purchased a 2020 900 ace and it has the caps.
Good to know, that seems to be the pattern. Only 900 and 600 get the caps for some strange reason.
Is the tire and rim heavy , that you took off ?
It's not too heavy, definitely considerably lighter than a car rim and tire.
Would sold man of 70 be able to drive one ?
Old man 👴
My 2020 are a blue color and dont seem to rust
So did you order just 3?
Personally, I ordered 2 of them, never noticed issues with the rear wheel hub.
What was the website
Looks like they don't sell it anymore, but the part number is in the description so you can find it any where

Hope all is well. Thxz 4the info bro just ordered mines4rally20.
Any time, thanks for watching!
1st comment 💪🏽❤
Thanks for stopping by!
Hey brother just order my hub caps a little cheaper through the dealership 8 dollars and change.
That's a great deal, definitely a good option for those with a dealership nearby!
@@3WheelKhalil brother thank you fir your blog and VIDEO so helpful
why not rustoliner
Clean it, get the rust off and then use EVERBRITE
