My wife bought her's in July 2020. In November the fan started to run constantly. Took it in and the dealer replaced thermostat. It had self destructed. Dealer replaced the radiator, thermostat and water pump impeller. All under warranty. Had 3200 miles on it. Otherwise it's been great. Took about 6 weeks though to get Can-Am approval and for the parts to so up to get it back.

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.
Who has or has not had problems with their Ryker??

Mine is a 2019. I have over 8,000 miles on it. Quite a few mods but no inherent problems . I did have the wheel nuts replaced as a recall. The fuel pump whines when it is hot out and I’ve heard some dealers will replace but I have not heard of any failing. I thought I had a brake line leak but turned out just needed to replace the cap on the master cylinder for $20 or so. Otherwise no problems. It’s a great machine and capable of cruising, touring, and as a sport bike. I have no regrets
I made a topic about this, but my new Ryker 2021 came with a non-working water pump gear so it overheated 5 minutes down the road from the dealer when I was driving home. The dealer never test drove it long enough to detect the issue before I dropped by and admitted that their guy damaged it while putting it together so it's not Can Ams fault. They fixed the issue and I have 400 miles on the bike now without any other issues.
VSS Fault in < 60mi
Bought mine (2021 900 ACE) a little over a week ago. Less than a mile on the clock, so I know they didn't test ride it.
Five miles home from the dealership, no issues. 40 mile round trip test run (uphill, downhill, sweeping curves, 55mph highway), no issues.
Try to commute to work the next day, made it a few miles onto the highway and it threw a VSS Fault while doing ~60mph uphill and dropped into limp mode.
I really did NOT appreciate the sudden drop in RPM resulting in my speed dropping to ~40MPH with traffic behind me. That could have ended quite poorly.
I was able to get it home via back roads.
Codes thrown: C006C & C0063.
Wiring harness has no obvious damage, fuses & relays checked out fine. Tried reseating connectors for steering angle and yaw sensors, and disconnected battery for ~20min without any effect.
The dealership picked it up the next day and I'm waiting to hear back.
My guess would be a bad sensor, but without the maintenance manual, I didn't have much to go on for deeper diagnostics.
It's under warranty anyhow...I just have an irresistible urge to tinker.

Please keep us informed on what the problem turns out to be.
Got it back from the shop today. As I suspected, it was the yaw sensor.
They were able to reset it and opened a case with BRP in case it occurs again. Supposed to just keep an eye on it for now.
Took the 20mi route to get 3 miles home, seems okay so far.
Yeah, I found a couple places with them available for download. Will probably get a copy soon.
I'd much prefer the dead tree copy if I can find it though.
FWIW, while I was researching, I came across an NHTSA report which mentions the code; though in my case the issue was not related to front end component play: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10181946-0001.pdf

I have had my 900 ace since july 1st i now have 2000 miles on it and have not had a problem with it at all
I had a 2019 900 ACE that I just sold (getting a Spyder RT assuming they ever come in...) and never had an issue beyond normal maintenance. Mine did have the fuel pump whine, but I realized it was only with less than a half tank of gas and when temps were above 80. My super easy fix was to make sure it didn't drop below a half tank during the summer (easy to do since most of my riding was around town).
Having been here and on some Facebook groups, it seems a fair number of problems are due to dealers that don't do a good job on final assembly (check the reputation of the dealer--it's worth it to buy from someplace that really understands these machines) and people that overload the battery with too many accessories. Sure it's cool adding speakers, GPS units, light strips, etc.--but the battery isn't really big enough for all that. Too many gizmos will throw (sometimes unrelated) error codes and they'll slowly drain the battery when it's sitting parked. If you add all those things, make sure to disconnect them if you're not going to be riding for a few weeks or you'll come back to a dead battery for sure.
Enjoy your Ryker! They're a blast to ride.

I found out at about 120 miles on my 2022 Ryker Sport that the wiring harness inside the right wheel fender was rubbing. Contact with the wheel or tire wore down the cable wrap and then completely through the insulation of both wires inside of the harness. You could see bare copper. I'm sure the dealer either missed it or didn't run the harness properly in the fender at final assembly. I took it back to the dealer and they fixed it under warranty. I also asked them to look at the left fender as well. I haven't had a chance to ride it more than around the block when I got it home. I had the dealer deliver it as it was 30 degrees here in Chicagoland at the time. I took a quick look without removing the fenders and the harness and cable looked to be seated properly now.
This makes me a little concerned that the dealer might have missed something else. At least they were very interested in helping me out and they did seem embarrassed. They initially told me that it would take a week to run a new wiring harness but they finished it in 2 days. I wouldn't have been upset about a week of time as the weather was lousy anyway but I appreciated that they wanted to prioritize the fix.

2021 Ryker Rally. I got it late May of 2021. I have over 6,400 miles on it now. Zero mechanical issues. I did have a Ford-150 crack my right wheel fender at my work's parking lot. $350 dollars was the total damage (his insurance paid for it) and some duct tape on the fender till it was fixed. It still runs great, so much fun.
