Ryker turning left Issues

[DickB]

I also filed a report.

Installation instructions for the Steering Update Kit are here:

Visit https://instructions.brp.com/e-instruction.html#tab=1 and enter the kit part number 219800513.

You have to remove suspension components to install the kit. Replacing the SAS is much less involved.

Due to the shape of the Ryker fuel tank and placement of the float, there are huge dead spots in the fuel gauge reading. If you add fuel at 1 bar, you will still have fuel at least partially covering the fuel pump, which helps keep it cool.

Interesting - the NHTSA says my VIN isn't valid. BRP knows it's correct when I had to change the previous owners name to mine for their records.

I'll try again tomorrow.

Seeing how BRP allegedly upgraded MY22+ Rykers, they are surely aware of the problem. Has anyone gone to them directly with a query? I ask this because I went to head office over the fuel pump recall, and whilst not entirely happy with the outcome, they did listen and provided me with some compensation... which I'm not allowed to discuss, but it wasn't insignificant.

I did. Never got past the lady who answered the phone. She gave me a case number and told me to contact my dealer. My bike never threw a code and the service tech couldn't replicate the issue. I don't blame the dealership, I do believe they did their best but it was just a waste of time.

Successfully completed the recall forms today. They musta shut off their computers when they left last Friday evening due to the long holiday w/e.

Showtime!

My BUDS2 and Steering Update Kit just arrived. Gonna be a thrash so I can get this thing fixed in time for me to ride it to WV in a few weeks. HOPEFULLY, the SAS will be okay.

Eat your Wheaties, if it goes anything like my install you'll be working through lunch. I'd be interested to know if your factory assembly has the little shim you'll see in the kit. Good luck, and please keep us posted.

I was wondering about that and was going to make sure to take note.

A lot going on right now, so I will probably take a couple of days to get through it.

Curious tho', did ya'll actually remove the radiator, or just move it as the instructions indicated? Also, did the kit correct your LH turn signal not cancelling?

YIA TIA, and will keep the collective informed on how it goes.

 

[DickB]

I just moved the radiator. Self cancelling was fixed.

I just moved the radiator out of the way. The job is more time consuming than difficult, except for the bearings. I was at a loss there and had to call in an extra set of hands and better smarts. Hopefully I’ll know more about the SAS when I take my bike in for the sensor check/reset Thursday.
