Can-Am Ryker Forums

Whenever I hit a bump or uneven spot in the road going any faster than 45-50 mph on the Ryker, it feels like I'm going to lose control of it. One time I hit an unexpected uneven spot on a 60 mph highway and legitimately almost crashed because I did lose control.

Is this expected behavior for these machines or is there something I can do to the front suspension or steering to fix it? It makes it hard to enjoy this thing on the twisty country roads when I'm worried any bump in the road could cause be to crash. I've never had this problem with any car or motorcycle I've had.

Ask your dealer to check the alignment.

No I think its just the bikes design I hit a bump going over a bridge at 90kmh and the rear shock sent me bucking a good foot in the air but I must admit you get use to it and its made me a more proartive rider

Funny thing I found the faster I go the smoother the ride it skips over the bumps I'm not breaking any speed limits but 95k is smoother than 80kmh
