OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! I just took mines on 94 towards wisconsin til i got to armitage and got off and came back toward Taylor and when i got off on Taylor my light went off and i pulled off from that lightand could feel the power in my ryker now.... thank you bro...
Thank God you and this video! This happened to me today (VSS mode w/blinking Engine light along with zz wheels thingy) very first time since I've had it. Bike is 18mos old bought it new 22 Ryker Sport. I was far away from home and panicked!!!! After watching this I did just that! Rode it for like 15 Miles and it cleared. Whew!!!! Made it home no problems. I figured out why it happened.... I had my cell phone holder too far on the left side and it was hitting my cruise control button every time I tap on the volume. Lesson learned. 14:42
Oh shit... it worked for you!!!! I’m excited... it’s getting cold but I think I’m about to take mines for a lil ride in the morning... I’m in Chicago too
Thanks so much C8 Pate! I figured I give this a go on my 2022 Sport. Code C0063 and C006C and the dreaded limp mode during the last 10 miles of a 100 mile round trip on a gradual left turn. It's 50 miles roundtrip to the stealership so I am waiting until the weather turns bad. I also have a starter code P0512 and bypassed the start switch with my own handlebar mounted starter switch. Sad. I always held Can Am in high regard. I'm on the fence about selling the Ryker now and can no longer recommend them to anyone. Too bad because it is a blast to ride solo and for two-up winery runs in the Texas Hill Country. After some research, looks like I got unlucky with a defective yaw and or steering sensor. The back end gets squirrely and bouncy on corners. Hope this helps someone. It took me 20 minutes to clear the VSS, I almost gave up when I closed in on a truck. Took the turn around, got up to 58mph again and about 2 minutes the Ryker cleared the VSS and took off. Stress relieved!! Thanks again!
@@c8pate744 I found another video on this very issue. Seems like there is no resolution from the comments there, but I decided I'm heading to the dealership tomorrow to get this issue documented and started. The other u-tube video can be found by searching "Recall Dangerous Can Am Ryker Wobbly Front and Back Tire/VSS Fault and What to do?" Not sure if linking to it in the comments is permissible. Good luck!
Man I’ve had mines do this twice to me... the first time it was my blinker light wires were touching and blew a fuse... the 2nd time I haven’t been able to figure out still.. and I just left it parked for the last 2 months
Ok, I’m taking off and going to try this. I’ll subscribe after my update…j-k, I already subscribed 👍🏼😝 Wish me luck though! Btw: 2022 Ryker Rally 45miles and it threw codes.
@@c8pate744 ya, I’m pretty pissed off. It had to get towed yesterday, and today the mechanic wanted to know my weight (🤬) so he could make adjustments. I’ve no idea what that was about.
My bike was giving all these codes after being idle over the winter. My partner, a heavy equipment mechanic checked out everything and said the battery could be causing it. I bought a new motorcycle battery at Canadian Tire, rather than the dealer, and the codes all cleared. My partner cleaned all the battery contacts too, he said corrosion on the contacts can be a problem too. The battery I bought is compatible for my 2019 Ryker Rally 900. It’s a Motormaster Eliminator AGM UltraXD Powersports battery ETX14L On the brake/throttle issue, I’ve had to make sure my boot toe isn’t touching the brake when I’m using the throttle because that causes limp mode. When I started riding, that happened a lot. Some riders have installed a foot board to prevent this problem. Just thought this might help. I’d switch the battery or clean the contacts and check all wiring to see it that eliminates those codes.
@@c8pate744 Yes I learned about limp mode when I first bought my bike and was practising. The weather where I live in Eastern Canada hasn’t been good for riding it yet, still waiting for spring. I enjoy how indepth you go into everything. I’m a subscriber. Love your videos!
Most bike don’t charge the battery at low speeds specially when iddleling, you’re draining the battery and the system won’t work properly. You’re code disappears because you’re battery got the charge it need it when you rode it at faster speed.
Hey C8 Pate. I just subbed, but I just want to say that this issue is really unnecessary with having any type of sensor regulating brake control to the point where if you press the brake too much, it goes it into some type of fault, because if you think about it, you have to break often and sometimes you do have to ride the brake because traffic is moving slowly and you need to move slowly with it. That's just my two cents. I think that Can-Am needs to desensitize this sensor a little bit. My Ryker is in the shop right now for a third VSS light in 3 years. it is a 2019 model. I am very uneasy about taking it anywhere far because I'm unsure of when it's going to throw me into limp mode again. Can-am needs to recall these things at least the 2019 models.
You made some solid points and I agree with you. They are very sensitive bikes and have to be handled with extra care. Im going to hope that I can get through this season with no codes going off.
@@c8pate744 For sure! I'm hoping the same lol it's kind of sad we have to hope all the time that something doesn't trip this fault. I'm hoping when I get my Ryker back that this is the final time I need to bring it in for this issue.
I'm sorry to hear that. Sometime its nothing and other times it might be a sensor or something else. If you hear anything different from your local shop reach out to me. Please subscribe to the channel. Thx
I have heard about that issue on some of the bikes also. I appreciate your comments. Thank you very much for watching. Please subscribe to the channel.
It happen to me, Too much accessories that the charging system can’t handle, I unplugged some lights gave a good battery charge and it work. I will be replacing the battery soon, I think that’s the main problem, cheap battery not holding charge, and all the safety systems can’t work properly on low voltage.
One of the reasons I learned from the very beginning you can not be on the throttle and the brakes at the same time, it's either one or the other but not both at the same time. I know that it can be a hard concept to adjust riding to operate a canam ryker if you used to operate your own vehicle and riding your brakes, but you absolutely cannot ride the canam rykers and operate the hand throttle and operate the brakes at the same time. It takes about 20? to 50? miles at 20 to 45 miles an hour and should you end up doing this a couple of times you'll want to change your riding-operating habits. Too explain the computer in the canam ryker is saying when you ride the brake & throttle together, "What Does This Fool Want To Do, Go Forward Or Stop, I'll Just Wake Him Up & Go Into VSS Mode This'll Get His Attention".
That's another bs..how some do burnouts then? If you can't do them both..it has a retarded amount of useless sensors..limp mode for other than engine and brakes should be illegal..
That happened to me on the highway doing 65, 70mph. I just pulled over for about 5 minutes and the code went away. I might have had my foot on the throttle. I just changed my foot position and it was fine after that. I hadn't ridden on the highway in a while so when I was going to the dealership for a recall repair I was kinda nervous so I took the back road until i got on the exit for the toll which I was trying to avoid. At least when it happened I only had 7 miles to go before I got home. Limp mode cleared up and didn't come back on. I might have to take the extended brake pedal off and go back to the original one.
This is common for ryker riders to do that. You will be trying to slow down but still giving it a little bit of throttle and not noticing it. If you look in the forums this is very common. Thanks for your comment. I appreciate you! Please subscribe to the channel
Thank you! You helped me figure out my Limp Mode issue on my 2021 Ryker 900 ACE with less than 3,000 miles. It happened after riding with a HUGE amount of bikes like you said. I contacted 4 or 5 different dealers for all of them to tell me to drop my bike off, they are 2 weeks out and one even said they are too busy, so they can’t take it…. I feel like these bikes are too new and should not be doing this. Is there a Lemon Law on these bikes? Can we *(Ryker owners having issues) do something as a group to get BRP on top of these issues ASAP? *(Is there already something being done that I’m unaware of?) They continue selling them knowing about these issues and pushing a practically bogus warranty on customers. *(bait and switch)
Whats crazy is after the first year that light rarely come on again. Same thing with the brakes. They squeak like crazy at first and then after a year you rarely hear them
I have a 2021 Rally and when I put it in Sport or Rally the picture of the ryker with squiggly lines appear to show me traction controls is limited. Mine has never thrown a code or been in limp mode. So weird
Yours sounds like a sensor that went bad. Get it into one of the good dealers im your area. I've noticed not all dealers have good service departments that know how to evaluate and fix rykers.
@@c8pate744 I'm not sure because it went away when I put it in another mode and drove just fine. I'm just going to keep on riding til I have an issue or something else happens.
It sounds pretty good. I can hear it on the expressway so it is decent. 300 total watts and its clear so I can live with it. Hasn't let me down since March 2019.
Hi again I think I left some things out..my bike is doing the same thing except now the emergency lights and my reverse lights are blinking which will not my allow my bike to crank (2012 can am spyder RSS)
The problem is your brake light sensor. It gets stuck, the Ryker detects that the brake lights are on but the brake isn't being pressed, and throws a VSS fault. The Fix: Look where your brake pedal is. See those wires inside the fairing? That's your BLS, and it's the issue. Grab some silicon spray, press the brake hard with your hand, and lube that lil' bastard up. Actuate the brake a few times, and you should be good to go. If not, you'll need to adjust the position of the BLS. To do so, there are two nuts on the sensor. Moving the sensor up will increase tension on the BLS's spring (the BLS is a load sensor), moving it down will lower tension. Adjust as needed so that your brake lights come on when the pedal is pressed, and go off when released. Note that if the pedal is pressed for longer than two-three seconds, the brake lights will stay on about half a second longer. How do I know this? I'm a BRP certified Technician.
