There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Picked up the bike yesterday. Long story short, per Can Am Headquarters all bets are off as long as I'm running a car tire on the rear. Nathan (service manager) said he didn't volunteer the information, Can Am asked specifically. Nathan said the rep told him the bike must be wearing the factory tire and throw a code or the tech needs to be able to replicate the issue. Once that happens the rep will authorize whatever fix is necessary. Nathan said my '22 already has the updated steering kit and steering stem bushing, so MarkN's fix didn't apply, and all those components were in fine shape per their inspection. Nathan and Josh (service tech) said they both rode the bike and couldn't get it to act up in any way. That doesn't surprise me, it was at least 8,000 between bobbles on our trip last summer. So they told me put the Kenda on the rear, ride till I throw a code and bring it right back to them. They had me sit on the bike while they reset the SAS and YAW rate sensors, with some weight stacked on the rack to serve as luggage. They also installed the DESS key post and programmed my keys. Didn't charge me for anything, and were as kind, patient and respectful as they could be. This was at CC Powersports in Louisville KY, and based on my experience so far I'd recommend them to anybody. So I got on the bike and rode the 100 miles home and sure enough, the bike bobbled on that one particular curve coming in from town. Wouldn't you know it. :cus:

In my case, the SAS was bad and would not hold a reset (actually a rezero). That is, I would zero it, ride, then it would be off by about 5 degrees. When they reset the SAS, they would have seen what the reading was before rezroing it. If it was at or near zero, the SAS is likely OK, but if it was off when they reset it, I would question if it is good.
Another clue is if your turn signals often do not self cancel.

the rear tire makes no difference. The bike doesn't know what brand tire is on the back, just the tire size itself matters. anyone, including BRP techs that say otherwise have no idea what they are talking about. Also, many of us are having the same issue with the stock crap kenda tires.. so it's not a rear tire issue. BRP gets really defensive about their deal with Kenda because the tires are junk.
I'm waiting for spring to hit so I can get more miles on mine. But after the last fix it seemed to be ok.
are your tire pressues right? if the front tires are low it can cause issues too. I run anywhere from 18-22 psi in the fronts depending on what kind of riding I want to do.
if your signals are not canceling that its the SAS sensor.
Yes, I run my tires in that range, and I've had the left signal stay on at least twice. The shop guys knew it had nothing to do with the tire, but the Can Am rep asked for the details. The Ventus V2 is right at the wear indicators and I've got a near new factory rear in the garage so I'll mount it up and we'll see how it goes. Might as well use it up anyway. I'd just shut up and shell out for a new SAS if I knew it'd resolve the issue.

I waited for temps to warm up a bit and headed out on the most roundabout route to the dealer I could find, right at 200 miles for the day. They said the YAW and SAS settings hadn't changed and were spot on. I'm going to try to quit pestering them for now and just ride the thing, they've shown endless patience and never charged a penny. I do want to note something based on my ride yesterday: I can still create the left turn wobble but it occurs at higher speeds and the sensation is much less exaggerated and frightening, a pleasant surprise and a big relief to me. It's more a jittery scoot feeling rather than a wild wobble, doesn't cause nearly the butt pucker. I turned around and made several passes thru that particular problem curve and the bike never acted up until I was riding twice the limit, 51 in a 25. So maybe the heavier rear tire was actually having an effect. One other factor, I did change the bushings in my front shocks, they were tattered with holes but not completely in two. I didn't have sense enough to think I was conducting an experiment, or I would have held off on the bushings.

I did some riding over the weekend, put in over 100 miles. I had zero issues. I was able to do some nice left turn drifts as well. So whatever they did with the new SAS bushing is working, but I guess the question is how long will that last.

yeah I'm running the stock tire until I do my clutch kit, then I'm swapping to a more grippy car tire. The kenda won't have the traction I need for the power I'll be putting down.
