Can-Am Ryker Forums

All 75 miles home, very conservative driving mostly interstate, was a great ride, no problems. But next to my house is a wide open area where it's safe to practice handling so I practiced that, working gradually up to the limits. Last five minutes was constant max hard turns in both directions. Then parked bike and a big cloud of burning oil smoke surrounded me. It was burning off the muffler and dripping from bottom of machine, left small puddle on floor. Can't see where oil is coming out.

Anybody else had oil blowing from engine practicing 'track day' turns?

Someone may have over filled the oil. special instructions for filling oil. Run engine to warm temp.,shut off and check level within two minutes should be at full line.
dipstick must be screwed all the way in to check.
Checking cold will show no oil. instructions on inside door label. very weird.

Did you ever find out where was the oil coming from?

Same problem check you air filter, oil coming from intake on mine. Rode it for two weeks now check engine light came out and in limp mode. Engine only running on 2 out of 3 cylinders. Have not had to add oil was on full mark when I checked it per manual instructions when we got it home from dealer.

Dealer stated my "Limp Home Mode" was triggered by a low oil code/Oil Pressure Sensor failure(did push alot of oil out my air filter due to assembly tech over filling). They are replacing the Oil Pressure Sensor. They found a TSB on it somewhere from BRP. You have to check oil quickly 10 seconds after 60 second idle time with warm engine. Engine is a DRY SUMP. Oil drains out of engine very quickly after shutdown.

Update: Ryker still at Dealer, (4 weeks now) waiting on oil pump. Tech told us gear was broke on oil pump. Can Am states never seen a oil pump failure like ours before.

Another Update: Long story short, dealer replaced scavenging pump didn't like the sound engine was making so they got authorization from Can Am for new replacement engine. Engine came in now waiting on install. Extremely slow process....

SUCCESS New Engine installed and back at the house. Test drive was fantastic.
